NAME
Plack::Middleware::Image::Scale - Resize jpeg and png images on the fly
VERSION
version 0.011
SYNOPSIS
## example1.psgi
use Plack::Builder;
use Plack::Middleware::Image::Scale;
my $app = sub { return [200,[],[]] };
builder {
enable 'ConditionalGET';
enable 'Image::Scale';
enable 'Static', path => qr{^/images/};
$app;
};
A request to /images/foo_40x40.png will use
images/foo.(png|jpg|gif|jpeg) as original, scale it to 40x40 px size
and convert to PNG format.
## example2.psgi
use Plack::Builder;
use Plack::App::File;
use Plack::Middleware::Image::Scale;
my $app = sub { return [200,['Content-Type'=>'text/plain'],['hello']] };
my $thumber = builder {
enable 'ConditionalGET';
enable 'Image::Scale',
width => 200, height => 100,
flags => { fill => 'ff00ff' };
Plack::App::File->new( root => 'images' );
};
builder {
mount '/thumbs' => $thumber;
mount '/' => $app;
};
A request to /thumbs/foo.png will use images/foo.(png|jpg|gif|jpeg) as
original, scale it small enough to fit 200x100 px size, fill extra
borders (top/down or left/right, depending on the original image aspect
ratio) with cyan background, and convert to PNG format. Also clipping
is available, see "CONFIGURATION".
DESCRIPTION
Scale and convert images to the requested format on the fly. By default
the size and other scaling parameters are extracted from the request
URI. Scaling is done with Image::Scale.
The original image is not modified or even accessed directly by this
module. The converted image is not cached, but the request can be
validated (If-Modified-Since) against original image without doing the
image processing. This middleware should be used together a cache
proxy, that caches the converted images for all clients, and implements
content validation.
The response headers (like Last-Modified or ETag) are from the original
image, but body is replaced with a PSGI content filter to do the image
processing. The original image is fetched from next middleware layer or
application with a normal PSGI request. You can use
Plack::Middleware::Static, or Catalyst::Plugin::Static::Simple for
example.
See "CONFIGURATION" for various size/format specifications that can be
used in the request URI, and "ATTRIBUTES" for common configuration
options that you can use when constructing the middleware.
ATTRIBUTES
path
Must be a RegexpRef, CodeRef, Str or Undef.
The PATH_INFO is compared against this value to evaluate if the request
should be processed. Undef (the default) will match always. PATH_INFO
is topicalized by settings it to $_, and it may be rewritten during
CodeRef matching. Rewriting can be used to relocate image paths, much
like path parameter for Plack::Middleware::Static.
If path matches, next it will be compared against "name". If path
doesn't match, the request will be delegated to the next middleware
layer or application.
match
Must be a RegexpRef, or CodeRef.
The PATH_INFO, possibly rewritten during "path" matching, is compared
against this value to extract name, size and ext. The default value is:
qr{^(.+)(?:_(.+?))?(?:\.(jpe?g|png|image))$}
The expression is evaluated in array context and may return three
elements: name, size and ext. Returning an empty array means no match.
Non-matching requests are delegated to the next middleware layer or
application.
If the path matches, the original image is fetched from
name."orig_ext", scaled with parameters extracted from size and
converted to the content type defined by ext. See also "any_ext".
size
Must be a RegexpRef, CodeRef, HashRef, Undef.
The size extracted by "match" is compared against this value to
evaluate if the request should be processed, and to map it into width,
height and flags for image processing. Undef will match always and use
default width, height and flags as defined by the "ATTRIBUTES". The
default value is:
qr{^(\d+)?x(\d+)?(?:-(.+))?$}
The expression is evaluated in array context and may return three
elements; width, height and flags. Returning an empty array means no
match. Non-matching requests are delegated to the next middleware layer
or application.
Optionally a hash reference can be returned. Keys width, height, and
any remaining keys as an hash reference, will be unrolled from the hash
reference.
any_ext
If defined and request ext is equal to this, the content type of the
original image is used in the output. This means that the image format
of the original image is preserved. Default is image.
orig_ext
ArrayRef of possible original image formats. See "fetch_orig".
memory_limit
Memory limit for the image scaling in bytes, as defined in
Image::Scale.
jpeg_quality
JPEG quality, as defined in Image::Scale.
width
Use this to set and override image width.
height
Use this to set and override image height.
flags
Use this to set and override image processing flags.
METHODS
fetch_orig
Call parameters: PSGI request HashRef $env, Str $basename. Return
value: PSGI response ArrayRef $res.
The original image is fetched from the next layer or application. All
possible extensions defined in "orig_ext" are tried in order, to search
for the original image. All other responses except a straight 404 (as
returned by Plack::Middleware::Static for example) are considered
matches.
body_scaler
Call parameters: @args. Return value: PSGI content filter CodeRef $cb.
Create the content filter callback and return a CodeRef to it. The
filter will buffer the data and call "image_scale" with parameters
@args when EOF is received, and finally return the converted data.
image_scale
Call parameters: ScalarRef $buffer, String $ct, Int $width, Int
$height, HashRef|Str $flags. Return value: $imagedata
Read image from $buffer, scale it to $width x $height and return as
content-type $ct. Optional $flags to specify image processing options
like background fills or cropping.
CONFIGURATION
The default match pattern for URI is "..._widthxheight-flags.ext".
If URI doesn't match, the request is passed through. Any number of
flags can be specified, separated with -. Flags can be boolean (exists
or doesn't exist), or have a numerical value. Flag name and value are
separated with a zero-width word to number boundary. For example z20
specifies flag z with value 20.
width
Width of the output image. If not defined, it can be anything (to
preserve the image aspect ratio).
height
Height of the output image. If not defined, it can be anything (to
preserve the image aspect ratio).
flags: fill
Image aspect ratio is preserved by scaling the image to fit within the
specified size. This means scaling to the smaller or the two possible
sizes that preserve aspect ratio. Extra borders of background color are
added to fill the requested image size exactly.
/images/foo_400x200-fill.png
If fill has a value, it specifies the background color to use.
Undefined color with png output means transparent background.
flags: crop
Image aspect ratio is preserved by scaling and cropping from middle of
the image. This means scaling to the bigger of the two possible sizes
that preserve the aspect ratio, and then cropping to the exact size.
flags: fit
Image aspect ratio is preserved by scaling the image to the smaller of
the two possible sizes. This means that the resulting picture may have
one dimension smaller than specified, but cropping or filling is
avoided.
See documentation in distribution directory doc for a visual
explanation.
flags: z
Zoom the original image N percent bigger. For example z20 to zoom 20%.
Zooming applies only to explicitly defined width and/or height, and it
does not change the crop size.
/images/foo_40x-z20.png
EXAMPLES
## see example4.psgi
my %imagesize = Config::General->new('imagesize.conf')->getall;
# ...
enable 'Image::Scale', size => \%imagesize;
A request to /images/foo_medium.png will use
images/foo.(png|jpg|gif|jpeg) as original. The size and flags are taken
from the configuration file as parsed by Config::General.
## imagesize.conf
width 200
height 100
crop
width 300
height 100
crop
width 50
height 100
fill ff0000
For more examples, browse into directory eg
inside the distribution directory
for this version.
CAVEATS
The cropping requires Imager. This is a run-time dependency, and
fallback is not to crop the image to the expected size.
