Overview

Imgboxify provides a simple and efficient way to upload images to the imgbox.com service. It supports uploading both from file paths and image buffers, making it versatile for various use cases. Although you can't mix up both image buffers and file path together in the input array.

Installation

To install the Imgboxify package, use npm:

npm install imgboxify

pnpm add imgboxify

Usage

To use the Imgboxify, you first need to create an instance of the Imgbox class using the static create method. Then, you can use the uploadImages method to upload your images.

import Imgbox from 'imgboxify';
// const { default: Imgbox } = require("imgboxify");

const uploader = await Imgbox.create();
const result = await uploader.uploadImages(['path/to/image1.jpg', 'path/to/image2.png']);
console.log(result);
