ASCII Terminal Banner

[pstreich]

Hi,

Is there a way to customise the 'Quasar' ASCII Banner which is shown in the terminal on app launch?

Not unless you fork it and use your own version or use something like pnpm patch.

It's being printed here:

quasar/app-webpack/lib/cmd/dev.js

Lines 84 to 89 in a4bc2e4

	console.log(
	require('node:fs').readFileSync(
	require('node:path').join(__dirname, '../../assets/logo.art'),
	'utf8'
	)
	)

And here is the ASCII art:
https://github.com/quasarframework/quasar/blob/a4bc2e42e1b5c52080913fe6d678339d20949b13/app-webpack/assets/logo.art

Can you share why you want to customize it?

Thanks for the blazing fast reply :)
There is no specific, functional reason.
When doing spring boot projects, I found that the team always liked a customised banner.
Just a gimmick to boost identity formation, I guess.

I'd recommend making a script to run (npm/yarn/etc) post-install to replace the logo.art file.
Stay up to date with q/app-vite or q/app-webpack otherwise you'll miss important fixes and new features.
