Learn Canvas, Clojure and Cloudinary

A <canvas> element provides scripts with a resolution-dependent bitmap canvas, which can be used for rendering graphs, game graphics, or other visual images on the fly.

canvas

Learn some of the different ways you can affect the graphical content that you are drawing to a canvas. We'll cover global alpha, global composite operations and shadows.

Canvas Effects

With the HTML `canvas` you can easily draw text as well as graphics. Let's take a look at basic text manipulation on the canvas.

Drawing Text on Canvas

In this lesson, we cover several different ways to animate graphics drawn to Canvas.

Animating with Canvas

When drawing on the HTML5 canvas element, your fills aren't limited to flat colors. You can use gradients to get smoothly blended color fills on your drawn elements.

Transformations can change the default canvas coordinate system and create complex drawings with much less code.

In this lesson, listening for and handling mouse and keyboard events in Canvas is covered.

Listening for Mouse and Keyboard Events with HTML Canvas

The HTML Canvas element allows us to access powerful drawing APIs from JavaScript. In this lesson, the first in a series, we will learn about `<canvas>`, and get ready to start drawing.

Introduction to the HTML Canvas element

Now that we have an HTML5 canvas to draw on, let's take a look at drawing simple lines and rectangles with JavaScript

Drawing Paths - Lines and Rectangles

When drawing on your HTML canvas in JavaScript, you aren't restricted to straight lines. Using curves and arcs you are able to create smooth curved lines.

Drawing Paths - Curves and Arcs

You aren't limited to boring black lines when drawing on the HTML5 canvas element. Using styles, you can program interesting colorful images with JavaScript.

Drawing Styles on HTML5 Canvas

In this lesson, you'll learn how to read and write individual pixel color values from a canvas.

Canvas and Pixels

In addition to vector drawing, you can draw bitmap images into a canvas, and also retrieve a bitmap based on the content in a canvas.

HTML Canvas and Images

Clojure is a dynamic, general-purpose programming language, combining the approachability and interactive development of a scripting language with an efficient and robust infrastructure for multithreaded programming. Clojure is a compiled language, yet remains completely dynamic – every feature supported by Clojure is supported at runtime. Clojure provides easy access to the Java frameworks, with optional type hints and type inference, to ensure that calls to Java can avoid reflection.

We'll use Lumo, a cross-platform standalone ClojureScript compiler and Node.js environment, to create Hello as a command-line application. 

In this lesson, I’ll show you how to install Lumo through NPM, invoke a function in ClojureScript, and use the println function from the core library.

In this lesson I show what a Clojure keyword is and why we prefer them as keys in maps; and the three ways we can look up a value in a map.

The `canvas` element exposes a 2d context which allows you to draw lines using the `moveTo`, `lineTo`, and `stroke` api. You can combine this with Mouse events to make a simple drawing app.

Para iniciar con Clojure es necesario realizar algunas configuraciones e instalar algunas herramientas.
Lo primero es instalar [leiningen](https://leiningen.org) y configurar tu editor de código.
En este caso configuraremos VIM. Para esto instalaremos algunos ]plugins 

* [vim-fireplace](https://github.com/tpope/vim-fireplace)
* [vim-salve](https://github.com/tpope/vim-salve)
* [coc-conjure](https://github.com/jlesquembre/coc-conjure)

cloudinary

Media is an important part in creating a good UX for potential customers of your store, but when serving large unoptimized images, you can end up giving them a poor experience with long page loads.

We can instead use Cloudinary to automatically optimize our images and resize them on the fly with Cloudinary's programmable media API to deliver a more performant online store.

Optimize Media with Cloudinary to Deliver Smaller and Performant Images

🚨The Cloudinary UIX has been deprecated. If you are using it, you need to replace it with the App. [Here](https://hygraph.com/docs/guides/integrations/connect-cloudinary#migration) is a step-by-step guide on how to do it. 🚨

We will take an existing UI extension, Cloudinary, clone it down, and create our own instance, installing it into our GraphCMS content editor. Once we add that Cloudinary asset as a field, we will select those images directly from our Cloudinary account and serve those images right inside of our app.

Add and Configure Cloudinary UI Extension to Add Images From a Cloudinary Media Library

strapi

To be able to render images in our markdown files, we are going to use Cloudinarly's provider on Strapi. In the Marketplace in our app on Strapi, we can copy the install command and use it in our app. `npm install @strapi/provider-upload-cloudinary`. 

In our `config` folder, we will create a new `plugins.js` file and past in some code. (You'll be able to snag that from the github link below). We'll also setup our `env` folder for our cloudinary variables.
