loremflickr-node

A website that provides placeholder images for every case, web or print, on almost any subject, in any size. This is basically a clone of LoremFlickr.com except it runs on Node.js and uses the rnd-flickr module.

Installation

  1. Clone repository
  2. npm i
  3. cp settings-example.json settings.json
  4. Edit settings.json to your liking (You'll also need to set your Flickr api key in there)
  5. npm start

Settings

Settings can be set either by the settings.json file or by environmental variables (or both!). When using environmental variables you will need to use the loremflickr_ prefix. For example: export loremflickr_cache_expire=3600000. Environmental variables take priority over settings.json.

To-Do

  • Look into scalability.
  • Add license, author, and image name to images.
  • Add various filter options (grayscale, pixelated, red, blue, green).
  • Possibly add daily image RSS feed.
