cartouche

A minimal node.js image service powered by Amazon S3.

Install

npm install cartouche

Quick Overview

Usage

Just get an Amazon Simple Storage Service instance running and include cartouche in your node application. Note: it might be wise to store your keys as environment variables.

var cartouche = require('cartouche')({
    key: '<AMAZON_S3_API_KEY>',
    secret: '<AMAZON_S3_SECRET>',
    bucket: '<AMAZON_S3_BUCKET>'
});

It's then super simple to upload a picture.

var photo = cartouche('/path/to/image');
 
photo.save(function(err, photoData){
    if(!err) console.log(photoData.url.original); 
    // returns the picture's url
});

Transformations

You can define a set of transformations that will be applied to the picture before it is uploaded.

var photo = cartouche('/path/to/image', {
    resize: {
        width: 800 // will resize the image to have a width of 00px before uploading it
    }
});
 
photo.save(function(err, photoData){
    if(!err) console.log(photoData.url.original);
    // returns the picture's url
});

Versions

You can upload different versions of the same picture. This is extremly useful to generate thumbnails.

var photo = cartouche('/path/to/image', {});
 
photo.add({
    name: "thumbnail",
    resize: {
        width: 200
    }
});
 
photo.add({
    name: "thumbnail@2x",
    resize: {
        width: 400
    }
});
 
photo.save(function(err, photoData){
    if(!err) console.log(photoData.url);
    // returns an object with the urls of the
    // original picture and the two thumbnails
});
