transform-image-js

transform-image-js is a library that resizes the image within defined constraints and also allows to adjust the quality of image. One of the use cases is when you want to perform a size optimization on the image before uploading.

Getting started

Installing

Using npm:

npm i @shellophobia/transform-image-js

Using yarn:

yarn add @shellophobia/transform-image-js

Using jsDelivr CDN:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@shellophobia/transform-image-js/lib/transform-image-js.min.js"></script>

Using unpkg CDN:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/@shellophobia/transform-image-js/lib/transform-image-js.min.js"></script>

Usage

Import

in CommonJS:

const transformImage = require("@shellophobia/transform-image-js")

in ES6:

import transformImage from '@shellophobia/transform-image-js';

Resize image to max 500x500 with quality as 0.9:

Vanilla JS and HTML

<input id="demo" type="file" onchange="handleUpload">

function handleUpload(e){
  const file = e.target.files[0];
  // The library will add a property `transformImageJS` on window once you import it
  const transformImage = new transformImageJS.TransformImage({maxHeight: 500, maxWidth:500, quality:0.9});
  transformImage.resizeImage(file).then(res=>{
    //The response returns an object that has the output blob in output attribute and has metadata for image sizes before and after transformation
    console.log(res);
  }).catch(err => {
    // handle error
  });
}

// using async function
async function handleUpload(e) {
  const file = e.target.files[0];
  const transformImage = new transformImageJS.TransformImage({maxHeight: 500, maxWidth:500, quality:0.9});
  try {
    const res = await transformImage.resizeImage(file);
    console.log(res);
  } catch(e) {
    // handle error
  }
}

React JSX

import React from "react";
import transformImage from "@shellophobia/transform-image-js";

const handleUpload = async (e) => {
  const file = e.target.files[0];
  console.log(file);
  const transformImage = new transformImage({maxHeight: 500, maxWidth:500, quality:0.9});
  try {
    const res = await transformImage.resizeImage(file);
    console.log(res);
  } catch (e) {
    console.log(e);
  }
}

export default function App() {
  return (
    <div className="App">
      <input type="file" onChange={handleUpload} />
    </div>
  );
}

API
