Using in my nose js app

[LucasBoberg]

Hi!

Is it possible to use magicat in my own node js app without the cli tool. To automatically remove backgrounds from uploaded images?

Thanks in advance!

@LucasBoberg my apologies, i did not see this sooner and somehow missed it.

magicat is using @codait/max-image-segmenter underneath to determine the objects in an image and then using @codait/max-vis to extract those objects from the image. you can check out the JS in this code pen (https://codepen.io/ibmcodait/pen/xvEodY) to see use you can use these two together

but if you want to try to use magicat (and bypass the cli) you can import lib/segmenter.js and call it's remove functions directly

by the way, magicat has been replaced with @codait/magicat. if you haven't done so you should upgrade and use the scoped name (@codait/magicat) moving forward.
