Setup
-----

[](#setup)

First do `composer require anahkiasen/illuminage:dev-master`.

Then if you're on a Laravel app, add the following to the `providers` array in `app/config/app.php` :

```
'Illuminage\IlluminageServiceProvider',
```

And this in the `facades` array in the same file :

```
'Illuminage' => 'Illuminage\Facades\Illuminage',
```

And then do `artisan asset:publish anahkiasen/illuminage`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Illuminage is a wrapper for the Imagine library to hook into the Laravel framework. It implements elegant shortcuts around Imagine and a smart cache system.

```
// This will create a cropped 200x300 thumb, cache it, and display it in an image tag
echo Illuminage::thumb('image.jpg', 200, 300)
// or
echo Illuminage::image('image.jpg')->thumbnail(200, 300)

// Shortcuts
echo Illuminage::square('image.jpg', 300)
```

What you get from those calls are not direct HTML strings but objects implementing the [HtmlObject\\Tag](https://github.com/Anahkiasen/html-object) abstract, so you can use all sorts of HTML manipulation methods on them :

```
$thumb = Illuminage::square('image.jpg', 200)->addClass('image-wide');
$thumb = $thumb->wrapWith('figure')->id('avatar');

echo $thumb;
//
```

You can at all time access the original Imagine instance used to render the images :

```
$thumb = Illuminage::image('foo.jpg')->thumbnail(200, 200);

echo $thumb->grayscale()->onImage(function($image) {
  $image->flipVertically()->rotate(45);
});
```
