API

decode(blurhash: string, width: number, height: number, punch?: number) => Uint8ClampedArray

Decodes a blurhash string to pixels

Example

import { decode } from "blurhash";

const pixels = decode("LEHV6nWB2yk8pyo0adR*.7kCMdnj", 32, 32);

const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
const ctx = canvas.getContext("2d");
const imageData = ctx.createImageData(width, height);
imageData.data.set(pixels);
ctx.putImageData(imageData, 0, 0);
document.body.append(canvas);

encode(pixels: Uint8ClampedArray, width: number, height: number, componentX: number, componentY: number) => string

Encodes pixels to a blurhash string

import { encode } from "blurhash";

const loadImage = async src =>
  new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
    const img = new Image();
    img.onload = () => resolve(img);
    img.onerror = (...args) => reject(args);
    img.src = src;
  });

const getImageData = image => {
  const canvas = document.createElement("canvas");
  canvas.width = image.width;
  canvas.height = image.height;
  const context = canvas.getContext("2d");
  context.drawImage(image, 0, 0);
  return context.getImageData(0, 0, image.width, image.height);
};

const encodeImageToBlurhash = async imageUrl => {
  const image = await loadImage(imageUrl);
  const imageData = getImageData(image);
  return encode(imageData.data, imageData.width, imageData.height, 4, 4);
};

isBlurhashValid(blurhash: string) => { result: boolean; errorReason?: string }

import { isBlurhashValid } from "blurhash";

const validRes = isBlurhashValid("LEHV6nWB2yk8pyo0adR*.7kCMdnj");
// { result: true }

const invalidRes = isBlurhashValid("???");
// { result: false, errorReason: "The blurhash string must be at least 6 characters" }
