Neos.MetaData.Extractor Package
===============================

[](#neosmetadataextractor-package)

This package handles extraction of meta data from assets.

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

[](#installation)

Install using composer:

```
composer require neos/metadata-extractor

```

Some related packages are:

- [`neos/metadata`](https://github.com/neos/metadata): Provides provides data types and interfaces (and is automatically installed with this package)
- [`neos/metadata-contentrepositoryadapter`](https://github.com/neos/metadata-contentrepositoryadapter): Handles the mapping of meta data DTOs to the Neos Content Repository

### Requirements

[](#requirements)

The package requires the `exif` PHP extension and uses the `iptcparse()` function (which is available in PHP by default.)

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

[](#configuration)

This package provides realtime meta data extraction. This can be switched off, if needed, using:

```
Neos:
  MetaData:
    Extractor:
      realtimeExtraction:
        enabled: false
```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

The package extracts IPTC and EXIF meta data from assets using a CLI command:

```
./flow metadata:extract

```

When creating assets, the extraction is run as well (unless realtime extraction is disabled.)

The exact effect of the extraction depends on the implementation. If only this package is installed and no further functionality has been implemented, the data supported by the `AssetModelMetaDataMapper` from *Neos.MetaData* is stored in `Asset` models.

*In other words: You will get title, caption and copyright notice extracted and stored out of the box.*

For developers, the package provides the `ExtractorInterface`. Using `isSuitableFor()` the implementing classes decide if they will be used for a specific resource. The `AbstractExtractor`implements a check by media type. Just extend and set `$compatibleMediaTypes` to the possible media type range(s). Returned DTOs are added to a collection and forwarded to the central `MetaDataManger` of the *Neos.MetaData* package.

Extractors
----------

[](#extractors)

The `ExtractionManager` itself generates the `Asset` DTO for every valid asset.

###  Alternatives

[causal/extractor

This extension detects and extracts metadata (EXIF / IPTC / XMP / ...) from potentially thousand different file types (such as MS Word/Powerpoint/Excel documents, PDF and images) and bring them automatically and natively to TYPO3 when uploading assets. Works with built-in PHP functions but takes advantage of Apache Tika and other external tools for enhanced metadata extraction.
