/*
|
||||
Package engine contains the core, format-agnostic logic for generating Jdenticon
|
||||
identicons. It is responsible for translating an input hash into a structured,
|
||||
intermediate representation of the final image.
|
||||
|
||||
This package is internal to the jdenticon library and its API is not guaranteed
|
||||
to be stable. Do not use it directly.
|
||||
|
||||
# Architectural Overview
|
||||
|
||||
The generation process follows a clear pipeline:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Hashing: An input value (e.g., a username) is hashed into a byte slice. This
|
||||
is handled by the public `jdenticon` package.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Generator: The `Generator` struct is the heart of the engine. It consumes the
|
||||
hash to deterministically select shapes, colors, and their transformations
|
||||
(rotation, position).
|
||||
|
||||
3. Shape Selection: Based on bytes from the hash, specific shapes are chosen from
|
||||
the predefined shape catalog in `shapes.go`.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Transform & Positioning: The `transform.go` file defines how shapes are
|
||||
positioned and rotated within the icon's grid. The center shape is
|
||||
handled separately from the outer shapes.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Colorization: `color.go` uses the hash and the `Config` to determine the
|
||||
final hue, saturation, and lightness of the icon's foreground color.
|
||||
|
||||
The output of this engine is a `[]RenderedElement`, which is a list of
|
||||
geometries and their associated colors. This intermediate representation is then
|
||||
passed to a renderer (see the `internal/renderer` package) to produce the final
|
||||
output (e.g., SVG or PNG). This separation of concerns allows the core generation
|
||||
logic to remain independent of the output format.
|
||||
|
||||
# Key Components
|
||||
|
||||
- generator.go: Main generation algorithm and core deterministic logic
|
||||
- shapes.go: Shape definitions and rendering with coordinate transformations
|
||||
- color.go: Color theme generation using HSL color space
|
||||
- config.go: Internal configuration structures and validation
|
||||
- transform.go: Coordinate transformation utilities
|
||||
|
||||
# Hash-Based Determinism
|
||||
|
||||
The engine ensures deterministic output by using specific positions within the
|
||||
input hash to drive shape selection, color generation, and transformations.
|
||||
This guarantees that identical inputs always produce identical identicons while
|
||||
maintaining visual variety across different inputs.
