For a long time, I struggled with various image sizes. Thumbnails, preview images and any other nonsense resizing must be performed when undertaking the production of any website. Although tools do exist to simplify this, I found that setting them up would often take longer than doing the resizing manually. So I decided to try to make a very simple, easy to implement image system, that handles all the resizing for me. With the introduciton of the HTML5 tag, the need for this is even greater, as you need several different image sizes for each image you put on your website to keep loading times reasonable and to maintain responsivness. Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install with composer using `composer require hiperbola/simple-image`. The package comes with 2 files that are important. The `.htaccess` file and the `bootstrap.php` file. The `.htaccess` file is the apache config file that redirects all supported image file requests the the `bootstrap.php` file. Move the `.htaccess` file to your root directory of your webpage, or if you already have an apache configuration file, in which case you can open the given htaccess file and copy the rewrite rule to your exising configuration file. Also, since composer installs packages into the vendor folder, you will need to modify the rewrite rule so it points to the valid `bootstrap.php` file. Usually this will do just fine, if your `.htaccess` file is in your root directory. `RewriteRule ^(.*)\.(jpg|png) vendor/hiperbola/simple-image/bootstrap.php/$1 [L]` Usage ----- [](#usage) After you've correctly installed the package, there really isn't much more to do. When linking to an image on your webhost simply append the parameters you would like to have applied. Currently, there are 3 modes of operation: ### Resize by height [](#resize-by-height) Keep the aspect ratio and specify a new height. E.g. `url/image.jpg/h:400px` ### Resize by width [](#resize-by-width) Keep the aspect ratio and specify a new width. E.g. `url/image.jpg/w:800px` ### Resize by width and height [](#resize-by-width-and-height) This will not keep the aspect ratio but stretch the image to satisfy the parameters. E.g. `url/image.jpg/w:400/h:400` Notes ----- [](#notes) You may be worried that image processing takes a long time, and under a heavy load this could become a major problem. This system uses a cache system, where any image that has been generated will be stored on disk so every dimension you request will be generated only once. The 'cache' is a small mysqlite database so no external database access is necessary. ### Health Score 20 — LowBetter than 13% of packages Maintenance20 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity5 Limited adoption so far Community7 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity41 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
