UploadResizer

Build Status

is an Express middleware that aims to make resizing and moving of image file uploads easier.

If you are looking for a general purpose upload solution try express-upload.

Usage

You can use this middleware globally in your app your locally in your routes like this:

app.use(require("express-upload-resizer")({
    picture : {
        width: 100,
        height: 100,
        target: __dirname + "/public/images/pictures",
        method: "resizeAndCrop"
    },
    logo : {
        width: 100,
        height: 50,
        target: __dirname + "/public/images/logos",
        method: "resize"
    }
});
 
app.post("/thumbs", require("express-upload-resizer")({
    thumb : {
        width: 50,
        height: 50,
        target: __dirname + "/public/images/thumbs",
        method: "thumb"
    }
}));

You can specify more than one resize method per tyoe by using an array of options like this:

app.use(require("express-upload-resizer")({
    picture : [{
        width: 600,
        height: 400,
        target: __dirname + "/public/images/pictures",
        method: "resize"
    }, {
        width: 100,
        height: 100,
        target: __dirname + "/public/images/thumbs",
        method: "thumb"
    }]
});

Options

  • width and height: desired dimensions
  • target: target directory
  • method: can be resize (resize no cropping), resizeAndCrop (resize with cropping), thumb (more or less the same as resize and crop but faster)

Nameing of files

The middleware tries to keep the original filename if it is unique to the location. Otherwise it will generate a unique name by appending a counter to the name. E.g. logo.png will become logo___1__.png_ if another logo.png already exists.

The path of the resized and moved file can be option with the file.path property, the name with file.name.

Missing features:

  • define an array of methods for each type to batch resize files
  • supply additional arguments to graphics magic
