What is this?

example.html |> webkit.js(Canvas(headless-gl)) |>  Buffer

The goal is to transform html documents into Buffers. This example is using pre-existing technologies (webkit.js, headless-gl and node-canvas) to reach this goal.

Issues

Currently it doesn't "break" but it doesn't render anything. I believe the issue is that headless-gl has not implemented certian methods. Out of the 144 methods necessary to drive webkit.js, 14 are unimplemented

What can be done more

• Cleanout Webkit.js
  • GetUserMedia, Websocket, etc - delete this crap
• Allow Webkit to accept more arguments
  • Window Object
  • XMLHTTPRequest
  • Generating Canvas'
  • Document Object (which is only used for generating canvas' and going fullscreen);
  • URL resolver
• Canvas interfaces with JSDom
  • DOM on the server is a pretty fresh technology, however JSDOM is currently the standard
  • As it is I created a DOM replacement just to handle the bare minimums that webkit.js requires
    • Perhaps this is a better goal to seek to full compliance
• Implement window as an Abstract Class
  • This may allow us to set viewport height/width and scroll x/y
• Canvas getContext returns either a headless-gl or node-canvas
  • This is a little more difficult since the canvas from node-canvas is a c++ Object rather than a JS wrapper
• Make the system more isomorphic
  • I currently have to go through hoops to make sure this is working properly
• Rip out important technologies to use elsewhere
  • This will likely never happen
