Here I will be storing some icons and other resources to be used on stoneydsp.com.
I was intrigued by the nextjs onelink example and how it pipes out the favicon on the client side; it had me recall some intrguing ideas about serving Win32-style compiled icon binaries by compiling some .ico files using CMakeRC, then piping them out via the NodeJS runtime by using the Node Addon API.
The current thinking process is;
- Generate your resources in Figma or what have you, export them all as .png
- Use CMake-js to create a node binary that returns CMakeRC's functions/methods from the 'cmrc.hpp' generated header
- Compile the images to binary lib and/or raw bytecode, whichever makes the most sense
- Serve the compiled image data, via CMakeRC's methods, through the node addon interface, into the .js world
- If successful, possibly bundle as an NPM package
- If successful, possibly template the project for others
There are a couple of dots to connect, but since first messing with those node addons I had been looking for a nice use case such as this. CMakeRC makes much of the work dead easy, and I believe I have the other pieces necessary; just need some time to revisit this based on priority.
Stay tuned!
