Laravel Face Detector
=====================

[](#laravel-face-detector)

> A Laravel package to handle face detection in an image

Current Features
----------------

[](#current-features)

- reading a local or remote file
- external url support
- multiple ways available output the found face
- file validation

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

```
composer require leomarriel/laravel-face-detector

```

Configuration
-------------

[](#configuration)

### Laravel without auto-discovery:

[](#laravel-without-auto-discovery)

If you don't use auto-discovery, add the `FaceDetectorServiceProvider` to the providers array in `config/app.php`

```
'providers' => [
  ...
  Leomarriel\FaceDetector\FaceDetectorServiceProvider::class,
  ...
],
```

Copy configuration to your project:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=facedetector-config

```

By executing above command the package configuration will be published to `config/facedetector.php`

### Config file

[](#config-file)

There are two configuration options available

`config/facedetector.php` is an asociative array with the following possible keys:

- `disk` (string): the storage disk for file save on command output `save()`.
- `noFoundFaceException` (bool): Disable the exception when a face is not found
- `padding` (array): Define a padding around the found face

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

**Direct use, no facades**:

You can create a new `FaceDetector` instance and load a local or remote file

```
use Leomarriel\FaceDetector\FaceDetector;

$face = new FaceDetector();
$face->loadFile('path/to/image.jpg');
$face->preview();
```

If you want to use the facade to face detection, add this to your facades in `config/app.php`:

```
'aliases' => [
  ...
  'FaceDetector' => Leomarriel\FaceDetector\Facades\FaceDetector::class,
  ...
],
```

Use the facade to face detection
--------------------------------

[](#use-the-facade-to-face-detection)

There are currently two ways to load the file:

### From Path

[](#from-path)

```
use FaceDetector;

$face = FaceDetector::loadFile('path/to/image.jpg')->preview();
```

### From Url

[](#from-url)

```
use FaceDetector;

$face = FaceDetector::loadUrl('https://url/to/image.jpg')->preview();
```

Output details
--------------

[](#output-details)

Check all available output ways

```
use FaceDetector;

$face = FaceDetector::loadFile('path/to/image.jpg');
```

```
$face->found(); // (bool) Return a boolean whether or not a face was found in the file
```

```
$face->face(); // (array) Return an array with the position of the found face
```

```
$face->preview(); // Return a preview of the face found with a tag
```

```
$face->json(); // Return the found face in json format
```

```
$face->stream(); // Return a response with found face cropped in JPG to show in browser
```

```
$face->output(); // Return a jpg string file with the found face
```

```
$face->save(); // Physically save the face found
```

Save details
------------

[](#save-details)

You can save the found face quickly with `$face->save()` output. The script will create a unique name for your file and store it in the `facedetector` folder in your storage.

```
$face->save(); // Physically save the face found on folder "facedetector" in your storage
```

You can set your preferred storage location:

```
$face->save('path/to/save'); // Physically save the found face with a random name in a defined path.
```

Take full control, set the storage path and file name to be saved. Save the file as JPG or PNG, it's your choice.

```
$face->save('path/to/save', 'new-image.jpg'); // Physically save the found face with a defined path and name.
```

If the save succeeds, will return the following data:

```
[
    'filename' => 'Saved file name',
    'size' => 'file size after cropping',
    'path' => 'path to file location relative to the disk storage',
    'url' => 'public url to access the file in browser'
]
```
