Certificate Generator Project

This project is a simple certificate generator that takes a template certificate in PNG format, along with a CSV file containing names and IDs, and generates personalized certificates with the respective names and IDs.

Requirements

• Node.js (v14 or higher)

Installation

1. Clone this repository: git clone https://github.com/yourusername/certificate-generator.git
2. Navigate to the project directory: cd Text_On_Image
3. Install the required dependencies: npm install

Configuration

All the necessary paths and file locations are configured in the config/path.js file. Make sure to set them correctly:

const certificate = './certificate/certificate.png';
const result = './output/';
const csvFile = './certificate/text.csv';

module.exports = {
    certificate,
    result,
    csvFile
};

Place your certificate template in the certificate folder and ensure your CSV file with names and IDs is located at the specified path.

Usage

1. Make sure the necessary configuration is done in config/path.js.
2. Run the application: node index.js
3. The generated certificates will be saved in the output folder.

Absolutely, here's the updated part for your README that explains where users can adjust the text placement in the src/module/WriteOnCertificate.js file:

CSV File Format

The CSV file you provide for generating certificates should have two columns: id and name. The id column represents the unique identifier for each certificate, while the name column contains the corresponding names for the certificates.

Here's a sample excerpt from the CSV file:

id                           name
event/name/0001         HARSH RASTOGI
event/name/0002         Chandan Chandel

Make sure that your CSV file adheres to this format, where the first column is the id and the second column is the name.

Customizing Text Placement

If you need to adjust the placement of text on the generated certificates, you can do so in the src/module/WriteOnCertificate.js file. This is where the text is added to the certificate image.

Open the WriteOnCertificate.js file and navigate to lines 21 to 27. You will find the following code:

loadedImage.print(font64, 0, 600, {
    text: name,
    alignmentX: Jimp.HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_CENTER,
}, loadedImage.bitmap.width, loadedImage.bitmap.height
);
loadedImage.print(font32, 100, 500, "ID: " + id);

• To adjust the placement of the name, modify the values 0 and 600 in the first line of the code block. These values control the X and Y coordinates where the name will be placed on the certificate.
• To adjust the placement of the ID, modify the values 100 and 500 in the second line of the code block. These values control the X and Y coordinates for the ID.

Make sure to test the changes to ensure the text is positioned exactly where you want it on the generated certificates.
