RKImageAPI
==========

[](#rkimageapi)

RK Image API handles the backend for [rk-image-uploader](https://github.com/robotkudos/rk-image-uploader). It receives api requests from **rk-image-uploader** and response securely.

Install
-------

By default, **RKImageAPI** respond to `/api/image-api` with `auth:api` middleware. It will create a table named `images`and will be ready as soon as it's been installed. All you need to do it run following command to create the images table:

`php artisan migrate`

Config
------

[](#config)

If you need extra security (by adding more middlewares) or different api endpoint as well as changing the table name, you can publish vendor config file with the following command:

`php artisan vendor:publish --provider='RobotKudos/RKImageAPI/RKImageAPIServiceProvider'`

This will copy config file into `config/rkimageapi.php`. You can change the default values there.

Dig deeper
----------

[](#dig-deeper)

**RKImageAPI** needs to receive a **key** to group images. It creates four images for each image it receives. One normal size (by default 1500px, you can change it via config file), one double that size as Retina version, one thumb size (by default 180px, configurable via config file) and one double the thumb size for retina.

Under the hood, it uses **RKImage** package for resizing and saving the image.
