* ## Excalidraw and SVG * 2022-04-16 - @thfrei * * Known issues: * - excalidraw-to-svg (node.js) does not render any hand drawn (freedraw) paths. There is an issue with * Path2D object not present in node-canvas library used by jsdom. (See Trilium PR for samples and other issues * in respective library. Link will be added later). Related links: * - https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/pull/2013 * - https://github.com/google/canvas-5-polyfill * - https://github.com/Automattic/node-canvas/issues/1116 * - https://www.npmjs.com/package/path2d-polyfill * - excalidraw-to-svg (node.js) takes quite some time to load an image (1-2s) * - excalidraw-utils (browser) does render freedraw, however NOT freedraw with background * * Due to this issues, we opt to use **only excalidraw in the frontend**. Upon saving, we will also get the SVG * output from the live excalidraw instance. We will save this **SVG side by side the native excalidraw format * in the trilium note**. * * Pro: we will combat bit-rot. Showing the SVG will be very fast, since it is already rendered. * Con: The note will get bigger (maybe +30%?), we will generate more bandwith. * (However, using trilium desktop instance, does not care too much about bandwidth. Size increase is probably * acceptable, as a trade off.)
