image-equal

Test if two images are equal. Useful for organising baseline tests for visual components.

Usage

let t = require('tape')
let equal = require('image-equal')
let pixels = require('image-pixels')
 
t('image test', async t => {
    t.ok(equal(await pixels('./a.png'), canvasA))
    t.ok(equal(await pixels('./b.png'), canvasB, {threshold: .2}))
 
    // display diff to console in case of mismatch
    t.ok(equal(await pixels('./c.png'), canvasC, true))
 
    // compare two pixel arrays
    t.ok(equal([0,0,0,255,255,255,255,255], [0,0,0,255,255,255,255,255]))
 
    t.end()
})

equal(imageA, imageB, diff?, threshold=0.1|options?)

Takes two images and returns true if they're similar and false otherwise, optionally sending diff stats to diff output. options can adjust comparison logic.

imageA, imageB

Shoud be actual image data container, one of:

• Canvas, Context2D, WebGLContext
• ImageData or Object {data: Uint8Array, width, height}
• DataURL or base64 string
• Image, Video, ImageBitmap with resolved data
• Array, Array of Arrays, Uint8Array, FloatArray with raw pixels
• ArrayBuffer, Buffer
• Ndarray

To use async image source, like URL, path, ImageBitmap, Promise, incomplete Image/Video, Stream, Blob and alike, use image-pixels:

const equal = require('image-equal')
const load = require('image-pixels')
equal(await load('./a.png'), await load('./b.png')),

diff

Can be one of:
