Find primary/dominant color of an image with canvas

html, javascript, node-canvas, node.js

Solution

Yep, there is a port for `color-thief` in node.js.

Get the node.js friendly port here:

https://npmjs.org/package/thief

Install the package like this:

$ npm install thief

Include color-thief in your node script like this:

var thief=require("thief");

And use color-thief normally! ...

Problem

I am new to node.js. I´ve read the thread about Node.js Image Libraries and it seems that GM seems to be the most advanced. I am trying to find out the most dominant color of an image using nodejs. Then I have found this script color-thief , which is very interesting. It uses canvas to determine the color. I found this node-canvas, which allows to create server side canvas. Can I use color-thief and node-canvas together? Or am I missing something? Maybe someone has a better solution for nodejs. Thanks!
