SVG Path

const svgPath = blobs2.svgPath({
    seed: Math.random(),
    extraPoints: 8,
    randomness: 4,
    size: 256,
});
doSomething(svgPath);

SVG

const svgString = blobs2.svg(
    {
        seed: Math.random(),
        extraPoints: 8,
        randomness: 4,
        size: 256,
    },
    {
        fill: "white", // 🚨 NOT SANITIZED
        stroke: "black", // 🚨 NOT SANITIZED
        strokeWidth: 4,
    },
);
container.innerHTML = svgString;

Canvas

const path = blobs2.canvasPath(
    {
        seed: Math.random(),
        extraPoints: 16,
        randomness: 2,
        size: 128,
    },
    {
        offsetX: 16,
        offsetY: 32,
    },
);

Canvas Animation

const ctx = /* ... */;
const animation = blobs2Animate.canvasPath();

// Set up "requestAnimationFrame" rendering loop.
const renderAnimation = () => {
    ctx.clearRect(0, 0, width, height);
    ctx.fill(animation.renderFrame());
    requestAnimationFrame(renderAnimation);
};
requestAnimationFrame(renderAnimation);

// Keyframe loop.
const loopAnimation = () => {
    animation.transition({
        duration: 4000,
        timingFunction: "ease",
        callback: loopAnimation,
        blobOptions: {...},
    });
};

// Initial frame.
animation.transition({
    duration: 0, // Render immediately.
    callback: loopAnimation,
    blobOptions: {...},
});

// Toggle play/pause animation on canvas click.
ctx.canvas.onclick = () => {
    animation.playPause();
};
