Supports JPEG, PNG, and GIF formats. Features -------- [](#features) - Efficient metadata removal with zero quality loss - Supports multiple image formats and metadata types: - JPEG: EXIF and IPTC markers - PNG: tEXt, iTXt, and zTXt chunks - GIF: XMP and Application Extension blocks - Privacy-focused: removes sensitive information - Zero external dependencies (PHP GD only) - Clean, object-oriented architecture - Comprehensive test coverage - PSR-12 compliant Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) - PHP 8.0 or higher - GD extension Installation ------------ [](#installation) Install via Composer: ``` composer require metastrip/image ``` Usage ----- [](#usage) Basic usage: ``` use MetaStrip\Image\ImageProcessorFactory; // Create processor instance $processor = ImageProcessorFactory::create(); // Strip metadata from an image $processor->stripExifData('/path/to/image.jpg'); ``` Advanced usage with specific handlers: ``` use MetaStrip\Image\ImageProcessor; use MetaStrip\Image\ImageHandler\JpegHandler; use MetaStrip\Image\ImageHandler\PngHandler; use MetaStrip\Image\ImageHandler\GifHandler; // Create processor with specific handlers $processor = new ImageProcessor([ IMAGETYPE_JPEG => new JpegHandler(), IMAGETYPE_PNG => new PngHandler(), IMAGETYPE_GIF => new GifHandler(), ]); // Process multiple images $processor->stripExifData('/path/to/image1.jpg'); $processor->stripExifData('/path/to/image2.png'); $processor->stripExifData('/path/to/image3.gif'); ``` Development ----------- [](#development) ### Setup [](#setup) 1. Clone the repository: ``` git clone https://github.com/metastrip/image.git cd image ``` 2. Install dependencies: ``` composer install ``` ### Quality Tools [](#quality-tools) We use three main tools to ensure code quality: 1. **PHPUnit** - Testing Framework ``` # Run tests composer test # Generate coverage report composer test:coverage ``` 2. **PHP\_CodeSniffer** - Code Style ``` # Check coding standards composer cs # Fix coding standards automatically composer cs:fix ``` 3. **PHPStan** - Static Analysis ``` # Run static analysis composer stan ``` Run all checks at once: ``` composer check ``` ### Continuous Integration [](#continuous-integration) Our GitHub Actions workflow automatically runs: - Tests on PHP 8.0, 8.1, and 8.2 - Code style checks - Static analysis - Code coverage reporting Contributing ------------ [](#contributing) Contributions are welcome!
