Charcoal ImageCompression

A Charcoal module to handle image compression through compression api providers

Installation

The preferred (and only supported) method is with Composer:

composer require locomotivemtl/charcoal-image-compression

Dependencies

Required

PSR

PSR-3: Common interface for logging libraries. Fulfilled by Monolog.
PSR-11: Common interface for dependency containers. Fulfilled by Pimple.

Service Provider

The following services are provided with the use of charcoal-image-compression

Services

image-compression instance of \Charcoal\ImageCompression\Service\ImageCompression
image-compressor instance of \Charcoal\ImageCompression\ImageCompressor

Configuration

The configuration of the comporession module is done via the modules key of the project configuration. Charcoal image is hooked to use the compression module automatically once configured.

Example: Minimum configuration via `image_compression` definition

"image_compression": {
    "providers": [/* … */]
}

Example: Minimum configuration via `modules` definition

"modules": {
    "charcoal/image-compression/image-compression": {
        "providers": [/* … */]
    }
}

Example: Full configuration via `modules` definition with default options

"modules": {
    "charcoal/image-compression/image-compression": {
        "registryObject": "charcoal/image-compression/model/registry",
        "batchConfig": {
            "fileExtensions": [ "jpg", "jpeg", "png" ],
            "basePath": "uploads"
        },
        "providers": [/* … */]
    }
},

Module Options

Option	Type	Description	Default
~~`autoCompress`~~	`bool`	(TODO) Whether to compress files when they are saved in Charcoal.	`true`
`registryObject`	`string`	The registry object to keep track of compression.	`charcoal/image-compression/model/registry`
`batchConfig`	`object`	Options for the batch compression process.	`n/a`
`fileExtension`	`string[]`	List of extensions used with [`glob()`].	`[ "jpg", "jpeg", "png" ]`
`basePath`	`string`	The base path to glob from.	`uploads`
`providers`	`array[]`	List of providers with their options. Each provider have it's own set of options to define.	`[]`

Providers

The providers key can be used to list and configured some providers that are tasked to bridge the gaps between Charcoal and the different apis. Each providers defines their own options. Here's an example of a provider configuration for tinify provider.

{
    "providers": [
        {
            "type": "tinify",
            "key": "XXXXXX"
        }
    ]
}

Multiple providers can be used at the same time and will be chained one after the other so that if a provider as reached a limit or fails, the next one on the list will be used instead.

Usage

TODO

By default, if provider is defined in the module's configuration, Charcoal image properties will compress the uploaded images on the image save callback. Must use the option autoCompress set to true which is the default behavior.

Script

A script is provided to compress images on the server in a batch.

# Using default path from configuration
vendor/bin/charcoal admin/image-compression/batch-compress

# Using a custom path
vendor/bin/charcoal admin/image-compression/batch-compress --path my/custom/path

Image Compressor

The compression module can also be used as a standalone module via the ImageCompressor class. A container service is provided to access it.

// Fetch image conmpression from pimple container
$this->imageCompressor = $container['image-compressor'];

// The compress method is used to compress a source file path to a target path.
$this->imageCompressor->compress($source, $target)

The ImageCompressor class will use the predefined module configuration and providers. For a custom implementation, instantiate the providers manually

use Charcoal\ImageCompression\Provider\Tinify\TinifyProvider;

$provider = new TinifyProvider([...]);
$provider->compress($source, $target);

// Or use the special Chain Provider to chain providers together

use Charcoal\ImageCompression\Provider\Tinify\TinifyProvider;
use Charcoal\ImageCompression\Provider\Chain\ChainProvider;

$chainProvider = new ChainProvider([
    new TinifyProvider([...])
]);

$chainProvider->compress($source, $target);

Development

To install the development environment:

composer install

To run the scripts (phplint, phpcs, and phpunit):
