Use in Blazor (wasm)? about nidenticon

[RobThree]

You can output a data-uri; an example of this is here. I haven't had the chance to work with Blazor so I don't know how it would work there but I assume similarly.

As for the PlatformNotSupportedException: this may help:

... you can enable support for non-Windows platforms in .NET 6 by setting the System.Drawing.EnableUnixSupport runtime configuration switch to true in the runtimeconfig.json file.

runtimeconfig.template.json template file:

{
   "configProperties": {
      "System.Drawing.EnableUnixSupport": true
   }
}

[appname].runtimeconfig.json output file:

{
   "runtimeOptions": {
      "configProperties": {
         "System.Drawing.EnableUnixSupport": true
      }
   }
}

Update:

I tried this, from the examples in the docs page:

var g = new IdenticonGenerator();
var bitmap = g.Create("foo",);

Which fails with:

System.PlatformNotSupportedException: System.Drawing.Common is not supported on this platform.

Yes I figured out the data-uri bit, but unfortunately the failure occurs before that, when the code enters the System.Drawing namespace.

Thanks for that workaround, though I doubt I'd use it if it's targetting Windows... but this bit got my attention:

It's around 30,000 lines of C code that's largely untested

😮😮😮

That made me laugh! Now I won't feel so bad when I don't write many tests - even MS is guilty!!! 😆

PS: if you ever decide to port to blazor, I'll be happy to help test it. :)
