Connect Placeholder
A connect middleware to generate placeholder images
Connect Placeholder generates PNG images on the flight. Could be use as a replacement for Placehold.it.
Image generation relies on node-pureimage by Josh Marinacci.
This middleware is primarily intended as a development middleware for grunt-contrib-connect.
Note: this is a work in progress. Expect performance issues and headaches.
Install
Install via npm:
npm install connect-placeholderimg --save-dev
Usage
In your Gruntfile.js connect

attribute to http://localhost:8000/placeholder/WxH
.
For URL format please refer to Placehold.it
