fastimage

A module that finds the size and type of an image by fetching and reading as little data as needed.

http://sw.cowtech.it/fastimage

Installation

Just run:

npm install fastimage

Usage

The signature is fastimage.info(source, [options], [callback]).

The source argument can be:

• String representing a URL (only http and https protocol are supported).
• String representing a local file path.
• Buffer containing image data.
• Stream containing image data.

The options object supports the following options:

• threshold: The maximum about of data (in bytes) to downloaded or read before giving up. Default is 4096.
• timeout: The maximum time (in milliseconds) to wait for a URL to be downloaded before giving up. Default is 30000 (30 s).
• userAgent: The user agent to use when making HTTP(S) requests. Default is fastimage/$VERSION.

If callback is not provided, the method returns a Promise.

Example

import { info } from 'fastimage'

info('http://fakeimg.pl/1000x1000/', (error, data) => {
  if (error) {
    // ...
  } else {
    // ...
  }
})

const data = await info('http://fakeimg.pl/1000x1000/')

The callback argument (or the resolved value) will be an object with the following properties:

{
  "width": 1000, // The width of the image in pixels.
  "height": 1000, // The height of the image in pixels.
  "type": "png", // The type of the image. Can be one of the supported images formats (see section below).
  "time": 171.43721 // The time required for the operation, in milliseconds.
  "analyzed": 979, // The amount of data transferred (in bytes) or read (in case of files or Buffer) to identify the image.
  "realUrl": "https://fakeimg.pl/1000x1000/", // The final URL of the image after all the redirects. Only present if the source was a URL.
  "size": 17300, // The size of the image (in bytes). Only present if the source was a URL and  if the server returned the "Content-Length" HTTP header.
}

Streams

Calling fastimage.stream it will return a Writable stream which will emit the info event once informations are ready.

The stream accepts only the threshold option.

import { stream } from 'fastimage'

const pipe = createReadStream('/path/to/image.png').pipe(stream({ threshold: 100 }))

pipe.on('info', data => {
  // ...
})
