image-thumbnail

Generate an image thumbnail.

Purpose?

This module will generate an image thumbnail.
By default the thumbnail's file format will be the same than the source file. You can use the jpegOptions option to force output to jpeg.

Usage

imageThumbnail(source, options)

Async/Await (Typescript & ES7)

const imageThumbnail = require('image-thumbnail');

try {
    const thumbnail = await imageThumbnail('resources/images/dog.jpg');
    console.log(thumbnail);
} catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
}

Using promises (node 8.x)

const imageThumbnail = require('image-thumbnail');

imageThumbnail('resources/images/dog.jpg')
    .then(thumbnail => { console.log(thumbnail) })
    .catch(err => console.error(err));

Examples

From Uri

const imageThumbnail = require('image-thumbnail');

try {
    const thumbnail = await imageThumbnail({ uri: 'https://images/dogs.jpg' });
    console.log(thumbnail);
} catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
}

From Base64

const imageThumbnail = require('image-thumbnail');

try {
    const thumbnail = await imageThumbnail('/9j/4AAQSkZJRgABAQEBLAEsAAD/4QEERXhpZgAA==');
    console.log(thumbnail);
} catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
}

From Path

const imageThumbnail = require('image-thumbnail');

try {
    const thumbnail = await imageThumbnail('resources/images/dog.jpg');
    console.log(thumbnail);
} catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
}

From Buffer

const imageThumbnail = require('image-thumbnail');

try {
    const imageBuffer = fs.readFileSync('resources/images/dog.jpg');

    const thumbnail = await imageThumbnail(imageBuffer);
    console.log(thumbnail);
} catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
}

From Stream

const imageThumbnail = require('image-thumbnail');
const fs = require('fs');

try {
    const stream = fs.createReadStream('resources/images/dog.jpg')

    const thumbnail = await imageThumbnail(stream);
    console.log(thumbnail);
} catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
}

Options

• options:

- percentage 0-100 - image thumbnail percentage. Default = 10 - width number - image thumbnail width. - height number - image thumbnail height. - responseType 'buffer' || 'base64' - response output type. Default = 'buffer' - jpegOptions 0-100 - Example: { force:true, quality:100 } - fit string - method by which the image should fit the width/height. Default = contain (details) - failOnError boolean - Set to false to avoid read problems for images from some phones (i.e Samsung) in the sharp lib. Default = true (details) - withMetaData boolean - Keep metadata in the thumbnail (will increase file size)

Examples

const imageThumbnail = require('image-thumbnail');

let options = { percentage: 25, responseType: 'base64' }

try {
    const thumbnail = await imageThumbnail('resources/images/dog.jpg', options);
    console.log(thumbnail);
} catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
}

const imageThumbnail = require('image-thumbnail');

let options = { width: 100, height: 100, responseType: 'base64' }

try {
    const thumbnail = await imageThumbnail('resources/images/dog.jpg', options);
    console.log(thumbnail);
} catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
}

const imageThumbnail = require('image-thumbnail');

let options = { width: 100, height: 100, responseType: 'base64', jpegOptions: { force:true, quality:90 } }

try {
    const thumbnail = await imageThumbnail('resources/images/dog.jpg', options);
    console.log(thumbnail);
} catch (err) {
    console.error(err);
