README

This package gives you three different tools, which are useful to fake, seed, generate placeholders and manipulate images. These tools are named as Picsum (provides images to seed database, or helps in creating model factories), Placeholder (generates placeholder images for specific location in different sizes and colors), Imager (manipulates images in desired sizes, can be used to resize an image if you don't want to cut any of edge of the images). These manipulations can be also called from the URL.

Quick Start

Install the package with composer

composer require takshak/imager

Simple uses

use Takshak\Imager\Facades\Picsum;
use Takshak\Imager\Facades\Placeholder;
use Takshak\Imager\Facades\Imager;

Picsum::dimensions(500, 500)->response();

Placeholder::dimensions(500, 500)->text('Some Info Text')->response();

Imager::init($request->file('image_file'))->resizeFit(500, 500)->response();

User can also use directly with the respective aliases without using the class name at the top. eg:

\Picsum::dimensions(500, 500)->response();

\Placeholder::dimensions(500, 500)->text('Some Info Text')->response();

\Imager::init($request->file('image_file'))->resizeFit(500, 500)->response();

Placeholder (Dummy / Avatar image provider)

You can have some fake images of may be some placeholder images with specified dimensions, having some written text and also in different colours. You can also generate user avatars also. Image can be further resized, saved to folder and also can be saved to model.

background($hexColor): Set the color of image background

image($width=null, $height=null, $background=null): Instantiate the image if image is not already generated all the parameters are optional

text($text='Placeholder Image', $format=[]): Write text on the image and format the text as well. Possible format array keys are: size, color, align, valign, angle. Eg.

\Placeholder::dimensions(500, 500)
    ->text('dummy text', [
        'size'  =>  50,
        'color' =>  '#000',
        'align' =>  'center',
        'valign'    =>  'center',
        'angle'     =>  45
    ])
    ->response();

url(): Generates the local URL for given type of image. Specified image can be also called by this URL

For all other functions please refer to common methods

Default values: $width = 500; $height = 500; $background = '#ccc'; $extension = 'jpg'; $textFormating = [ 'size' => 24, 'color' => '#000', 'align' => 'center', 'valign' => 'center', 'angle' => null ];

Picsum (Fake image provider)

It provides some images to fake database or can used as placeholder. This stores some images to it's bucket and then returns randomly generated images as requested. Functions and default parameters are given below:

bucket($foldername): Name of source folder from where the images will be faked. If not setted default 'imgr-bucket' folder will be used.

disk($disk='local'): Storage disk name

seed(int: $count=10): Seed the bucket with some dummy images

flush(): Flush all the images from bucket

refresh(int: $count=10): Flush all the images from bucket and seed new images

isEmpty(): Checks if the bucket is empty

url(): Generates the local URL for given type of image. Specified image can be also called by this URL

image(): Instantiate the image if image is not already generated

For all other functions please refer to common methods

Seeding images to the bucket

To seed / write some images (to be served when you request for better performance of picsum) execute following command

php artisan imager:seed

This can also receive several argument and options:

arguments:

count: number of images to be seeded (default '50')

options:

--disk: storage disk type (default 'local')

--bucket: this is the folder name where the images will be kept (default 'imgr-bucket/')

--action: action of the command. possible values are, seed, refresh, flush (default 'seed')

--width: width of the images to be seeded, (default '2000')

--height: height of the images to be seeded, (default '1500')

php artisan imager:seed 25

php artisan imager:seed 25 --width=1200 --height=800

Generating picsum image from URL

Base URL: http://project.com/imgr/picsum?paramters

Parameter	Default	Description
width / w	1000	Width of image
height / h	1000	Height of image
extension / ext	'jpg'	Image format
refresh	10	Flush all bucket image and seed new ones
seed	10	Seed new images
flush		Flush all bucket images
blur	1	Blur image, pass the blur amount
greyscale		Make image greyscale (pass the boolean as 0 or 1)
flip		Flip the image. Possible values: v / h
rotate		Rotates image, (accepts integer, eg. ?rotage=45)

Sample image URL: http://project.com/imgr/picsum?w=150&h=150&blur=1&greyscale=1

Imager (Easy image manipulation)

This can used to resize or fit an image within a dimensions or for other manipulations. This provides following methods:

init($image): Receives an image file / path / URL to work on

resizeHeight(int: $height): Defines the height of the image in pixels. (parameter optional if height() function has been already called)

resize(int: $width, int: $height): Defines the width and height of the image in pixels (image may squeeze or edges can be cropped). (parameters are optional if height(), width() or dimensions() function has been already called).

resizeFit(int: $width, int: $height): Defines the width and height of the image in pixels whichever fits the best, none of the edge will be cropped and image will never stretch. (parameters are optional if height(), width() or dimensions() function has been already called)

inCanvas($bg=null): If you want to generate image with any coloured background, eg. (#fff)

For all other functions please refer to common methods

Common Methods

Following methods can be called to all above tools

width(int: $width): Define the width of image

height(int: $height): Define the height of image

dimensions(int: $dimensions): Width and height can be defined at once usin this function instead of width() and height()

extension($extention): Extension of image, eg: 'png' or 'jpg'

response($extention=null): Returns the image as a response.

basePath($path): Set the base folder name where you want to store the image

save($path, $width=null): Save the path to any location. Width parameter is optional. Image will get resized were width will be passed

saveModel($model, $column, $filePath): Saves image path to the model.

blur(int: $amount=1): Blur the image

greyscale(): Makes image grey scale

rotate(int: $deg=45): Rotates image on $deg degree

flip($direction='h'): Flips the image, possible values(v or h)

others(function($image){}): Passes the image through other function (intervention/image) for further manipulations.

destroy(): Destroys the created image instance.

Placeholder - Some Uses

Getting Default dummy image

\Placeholder::text('Some Info Text')->response();

Customised Text in image

\Placeholder::text('Some Info Text', [
    'size'  =>  24,
    'color' =>  '#000',
    'align' =>  'center',
    'valign'    =>  'center',
    'angle'     =>  45
])->response();

Create dummy user avatar

\Placeholder::dimensions(200, 200)->text('JD')->response();

Save image to folder and model

\Placeholder::text('Some dummy text')
->basePath(\Storage::disk('local')->path('images'))
->save('image-lg.jpg')
->saveModel($user, 'profile_img', 'image-lg.jpg')
->save('image-md.jpg', 300)
->saveModel($user, 'profile_img', 'image-md.jpg')
->response();

Picsum - Some Uses

Resize image during save

Picsum::dimensions(200, 200)->save(path:'path/image.jpg', 100);

Save at multiple locations

Picsum::dimensions(500, 500)
    ->save(path:'path/image.jpg')
    ->save(path:'path/image-md.jpg', 300)
    ->save(path:'path/image-sm.jpg', 100);

Get image URL

Picsum::dimensions(500, 500)->image()->url();

Save path to model

Picsum::dimensions(500, 500)
    ->save(path:'path/image.jpg')
    ->saveModel(User::first(), 'profime_img', path:'path/image.jpg');

Get URL for the image

Picsum::dimensions(500, 500)->url();

Other intervention callback function

$img = Picsum::image()->flip();
$img->others(function($img){
    $img->crop(100, 100);
});
return $img->response();

Save image to a model

$post = Post::first();
Picsum::dimensions(500, 500)
    ->save(path:'path/image.jpg')->saveModel($post, 'image_lg', path:'path/image.jpg')
    ->save(path:'path/image-sm.jpg', 100)->saveModel($post, 'image_sm', path:'path/image-sm.jpg')
    ->image(500, 400)
    ->save(path:'path/image.jpg')->saveModel(Post::find(2), 'image_lg', path:'path/image.jpg')
    ->url()

Imager - Some Uses

Saving three variants of the same image in storage/app/public/images/... .jpg

Imager::init($request->file('thumbnail'))
    ->resizeFit(800, 500)
    ->basePath(Storage::disk('public')->path('/'))
    ->save('images/large.jpg')
    ->save('images/medium.jpg', 400)
    ->save('images/small.jpg', 200);

# Or you can pass the path as follow
Imager::init($request->file('thumbnail'))
    ->resizeFit(800, 500)
    ->save(Storage::disk('public')->path('images/large.jpg'))
    ->save(Storage::disk('public')->path('images/medium.jpg'), 400)
    ->save(Storage::disk('public')->path('images/small.jpg'), 200);

Save image with a canvas of white(default) background and some extra manipulation:

Imager::init($request->file('thumbnail'))
    ->resizeFit(800, 500)->inCanvas('#fff') // resize to fit in given dimension
    ->inCanvas('#fff') // put the white canvas if image is shorter
    ->rotate(45)    // rotate image at 45 deg.
    ->flip('h')   // flip image horizontally (use 'v' for vertical flip)
    ->save(Storage::disk('public')->path('images/large.jpg')) // save the image
    ->save(Storage::disk('public')->path('images/medium.jpg'), 400) // save another with small size of 400
