thgen : Thumbnail Generator

Author : Dhawan Solanki

This library generates thumbnail images based on provided post data using Puppeteer. The images are stored locally in a specified directory.

Features

• Generates thumbnail images with random background images.
• Customizable title, avatar, full name, and brand logo.
• Stores the generated images locally.

Installation

npm i thgen

Usage

To use the thumbnail generation functionality, you can import the generateThumbnail function and call it with the post data as an argument:

const { generateThumbnail } = require('thgen');

const postData = {
  title: 'Thumbnail Generator by Dhawan Solanki',
  avatar: 'https://example.com/avatar.jpg',
  full_name: 'Dhawan Solanki',
  brand_logo : 'https://example.com/brand_logo.jpg'
};

try {
  const { fileName, filePath } = await generateThumbnail(postData);
  console.log('Thumbnail generated:', fileName, filePath);
} catch (error) {
  console.error('Error generating thumbnail:', error);
}

Result

Future Improvements

• Add support for customizing the thumbnail size and quality

• Implement caching to avoid unnecessary re-rendering of the same content

• Provide additional options for the generated thumbnail, such as adding a border or overlay
