Example Usage with Node Canvas

Here's an example images used to generate these banners similar to those found on https://overwatchleague.com during live matches.

Lets recreate the promotional banner for the match between Paris Eternal and Atlanta Reign (logo code omitted):

const { createCanvas, loadImage} = require('canvas');
const { getPrimaryColor, getSecondaryColor } = require('owl-colors');
 
// We'll initialize our canvas variables here
const canvas = createCanvas(500, 250);
const ctx = canvas.getContext('2d');
let width = 150, height = 150;
let side1 = 20, side2 = 20;
 
// gets the primary and secondary 
// hex colors for Paris Eternal
const parisPrimary = getPrimaryColor('PAR').hex;
const parisSecondary = getSecondaryColor('PAR').hex;
 
// same thing for Atlanta Reign
const atlPrimary = getPrimaryColor('ATL').hex;
const atlSecondary = getSecondaryColor('ATL').hex;
 
// We'll draw our canvas here.
// NOTE: logo code is ommitted here for relevance
ctx.fillStyle = parisPrimary;
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, 250, 250);
 
ctx.fillStyle = atlPrimary;
ctx.fillRect(250, 0, 250, 250);
 
// we add our secondary collor
// accents here on the sides of the banner
ctx.fillStyle = parisSecondary;
ctx.fillRect(0, 0, side1, 250);
 
ctx.fillStyle = atlSecondary;
ctx.fillRect(canvas.width - side2, 0, side2, 250);
