Image Size Export

Pass a folder of images to this module and get infos like:

• width
• height
• name
• path
• breakpoint (when you provide this information in your filename)

Written with ImageSize.

Installation

npm install image-size-export

Usage

Read pictures infos from a provided source, process its infos and output processed infos to a custom output file (default = JSON).

 
var imageExport = require('image-size-export');
 
imageExport.record({
    path: 'tmp/pictures/**/*.jpg',
    output: "tmp/simple.json",
    breakpointDelimiter: '--'
});
 

When your file structure looks like that:

├───tmp
│   └───pictures
│       ├───carousel
│       │   └───stage
│       │           pic-01--1025.jpg
│       │           pic-01--1025_2x.jpg
│       │           pic-01--320.jpg
│       │           pic-01--320_2x.jpg
│       │           pic-01--769.jpg
│       │
│       └───marginal
│           ├───contact
│           │       pic-01--480.jpg
│           │       pic-01--480_2x.jpg
│           │       pic-01--768.jpg
│           │       pic-01--768_2x.jpg
│           │       pic-01--769.jpg
│           │       pic-01--769_2x.jpg
│           │
│           └───images
│                   pic-01--480.jpg
│                   pic-01--480_2x.jpg
│                   pic-01--640.jpg
│                   pic-01--640_2x.jpg
│                   pic-01--768.jpg
│                   pic-01--768_2x.jpg
│                   pic-01--769.jpg
│                   pic-01--769_2x.jpg

You will get the following output:

[
    {
        "breakpoint": "1025",
        "name": "pic-01--1025.jpg",
        "width": 1344,
        "height": 536,
        "path": "tmp/pictures/carousel/stage/pic-01--1025.jpg"
    },
    {
        "...": "..."
    }
]

Options

Examples

Custom Handlebars Template

Let's say you are not happy with the default output and want to use a custom handlebars template to generate something really nice. That's is really simple.

Define your options:

imageExport.record({
    path: 'tmp/pictures/**/*.jpg',
    output: "tmp/custom.yml",
    template: 'tmp/tpl/custom.hbs',
    breakpointDelimiter: '-'
});

Write your template like that:

{{#each breakpoints}}
"{{this}}":
{{#each ../images}}
    {{#is ../this breakpoint}}
    -- "name": "{{ name }}"
    - "width": {{ width }}
    - "height": {{ height }}
    - "path": "{{ path }}"
    {{/is}}
{{/each}}
{{/each}}

And the output will be:

"1025":
    -- "name": "pic-01--1025.jpg"
    - "width": 1344
    - "height": 536
    - "path": "tmp/pictures/carousel/stage/pic-01--1025.jpg"
"1025_2x":
    -- "name": "pic-01--1025_2x.jpg"
    - "width": 2051
    - "height": 817
    - "path": "tmp/pictures/carousel/stage/pic-01--1025_2x.jpg"
"320":
    -- "name": "pic-01--320.jpg"
    - "width": 320
    - "height": 128
    - "path": "tmp/pictures/carousel/stage/pic-01--320.jpg"
    ...

Please be sure you do not use the categorizeBy option, because this option outputs a JSON file and ignores any template.

Categorize by Folders

If you want to categorize your infos by folder name and export these as JSON file, you can use the following setting:

imageExport.record({
    path: 'tmp/pictures/**/*.jpg',
    output: "tmp/folder.json",
    categorizeBy: 'folders',
    folderDepth: 2,
    breakpointDelimiter: '-'
});

The folderDepth option can be used when you need to concatenate multiple folder names to one single string.

Categorize by Breakpoints

If you want to categorize your infos by breakpoints and export these as JSON file, you can use the following setting:

 
imageExport.record({
    path: 'tmp/pictures/**/*.jpg',
    output: "tmp/breakpoints.json",
    categorizeBy: 'breakpoints',
    breakpointDelimiter: '--'
});

The breakpointDelimiter option can be used to define your delimiter between breakpoint and filename.
