image-processing-api

Udacity FWD's first project

This project servers as a placeholder api and an image conversion api.

Install:

git clone https://github.com/ahmed-hany94/image-processing-api

cd image-processing-api

yarn install

Run:

yarn start

redirects to /public/index.html for the submission form.

A listing of the files in ./assets/full directory.

You submit an image as shown below with the desired dimensions & an optional extension to be converted into.

If the operation is successful, the browser takes you to the image served by the express server.

If you go to a url of an already converted image, express servers the cached image file from its directory without converting it again.

Using the submission form is preferred.
Files that are converted are found in /assets/thumb with the format: <filename>-<width>-<height>.<ext>
💀 url format must be as mentioned /api/images?filename=<filename.ext>&width=<number>&height=<number>&ext=<ext> when using the api directly without using the submission form.
- exmaple: http://localhost:3000/api/images?filename=fjord.jpg&width=200&height=200&ext=png
- If the filename's extension is missing the filename param, an error page will be shown
- If the params are not typed correctly, an error page will be shown.
- If the ext is not specified, the coverted image will be of the desired dimension but the same original extension.
