ImageCache
==========

[](#imagecache)

Fast image handling and caching.

```
$imageCache = new \MarcAndreAppel\ImageCache\ImageCache('/absolute/path/to/base_folder/images');

// Create a scaled and cropped thumbnail and return the public thumbnail path
$thumbnail = $imageCache->thumbnail(50, 50)->cachedImage;
```

Methods (chainable)
-------------------

[](#methods-chainable)

### Cache path naming override

[](#cache-path-naming-override)

```
$imageCache->method('replacement')->thumbnail(50, 50)->publicPath;
```

Returns */.cache/replacement* instead of */.cache/thumbnail/50/50*.

### Cache path prefixing

[](#cache-path-prefixing)

```
$imageCache->prefix('mycache')->thumbnail(50, 50)->publicPath;
```

Adds */.cache/mycache* to the resulting path, eg: */.cache/mycache/thumbnail/50/50*.

### Allow enlarging of images

[](#allow-enlarging-of-images)

```
$imageCache->enlarge(true)->scale(1200);
```

Original size might be 400px ✕ 300px and hence becomes bigger.

### Create visible subfolders

[](#create-visible-subfolders)

```
$imageCache->hidden(false)->scale(1200);
```
