README

Sunwell

A high quality Hearthstone card renderer in TypeScript.

• Use it as a Javascript library in the browser to render to a <canvas> element.
• Or in NodeJS using node-canvas

Download

The latest, minified version of Sunwell is available here:

https://sunwell.hearthsim.net/branches/master/sunwell.cdn.min.js

Requirements

The following dependencies are required to build Sunwell:

• Yarn
• Webpack

Run yarn install to install the dependencies. Then, run webpack to build the project into dist/sunwell.js.

If you run NODE_ENV=production webpack, it will instead build a minified version into dist/sunwell.min.js.

The assets in the assets/ folder can be copied as-is.

Sunwell currently has no runtime dependencies outside of Webpack.

Fonts

To create faithful renders, the Belwe and Franklin Gothic proprietary fonts are required. Make sure to obtain a license if you wish to distribute cards rendered with them.

Sunwell should work with any fallback font you give it.

Usage

Instanciate a new Sunwell object as such:

t Sunwell = require("Sunwell").Sunwell;
sunwell = new Sunwell(options);

The options object is defined further down.

To render a card, you can use Sunwell.createCard(card). Sunwell aims to be compatible with HearthstoneJSON. You can pass a card object from the HearthstoneJSON API as-is and get a usable card in return.

card = sunwell.createCard(card, width, target, callback);

width is the size of the render (height is determined automatically). The target argument should be a Canvas or Image object the render will be applied to.

Internally, Sunwell renders to a Canvas already. If you target an image, the conversion to PNG and compression will result in performance loss with frequent updates. Rendering to a Canvas is more direct, however will likely result in performance degradation with large amounts of cards on screen. Pick your poison.

The optional callback argument is a function called when the rendering finishes.

Sunwell options

The following options can be forwarded to the Sunwell instance:

• debug (boolean: false): If true, extra output will be logged.
• titleFont (string: "Belwe"): The font to use for the card's name.
• bodyFont (string: "Franklin Gothic"): The font to use for the card's body.
• assetFolder (string: "/assets/"): The path to the assets folder.
• cacheSkeleton (boolean: false): Whether to cache the card's frame render (slow).
• drawTimeout (number: 5000): The maximum amount of milliseconds Sunwell will spend rendering any single card before giving up.
• maxActiveRenders (number: 12): How many concurrent renders Sunwell will perform.
• preloadedAssets (Array): A list of assets to always preload.

Card properties

The following card properties are supported:

• name (string): The card's name
• text (string): The card's body text
• collectionText (string): The card's body text. Has precedence over text.
• raceText (string): The card's race as a string. Has precedence over race.
• cost (number): The card's cost.
• attack (number): The card's attack value (has no effect for spells).
• health (number): The card's health value (has no effect for spells).
• costsHealth (boolean): Set to true to render the card's cost as health.
• hideStats (boolean): Set to true to hide the attack/health textures and the cost value.
• silenced (boolean): Set to true to show the card as silenced (card text crossed out).
• language (string): The language of the card. Only used to determine the race text for enums.

Enums are standard Hearthstone enums. They can be passed as an int (preferred) or as their string variant:

• type (enum CardType): The card's type (only MINION, SPELL and WEAPON are supported).
• cardClass (enum CardClass): The card's class. This determines the card frame to use.
• set (enum CardSet): Determines the body text background watermark.
• rarity (enum Rarity): Determines the card's rarity gem. Note that COMMON cards from the CORE set will not show a rarity gem, despite not being FREE.
• multiClassGroup (enum MultiClassGroup): Determines the card's multiclass banner.
• race (enum Race): The card's race.

Finally, a texture property should be passed as well, for the card art. The texture may be a string, in which case it's treated as a URL, or it may be an Image. If null, an empty grey texture will be created in its place.

NOTE: Some properties only affect certain card types unless explicitly set on the card itself. For example, a spell or weapon will not render a race text even if given one.
