This project is not under development anymore. Check spescina/imgproxy instead
==============================================================================

[](#this-project-is-not-under-development-anymore-check-spescinaimgproxy-instead)

I think that this feature has to be left outside the framework. I don't like that Laravel has to be booted upon each image request.

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

[](#installation)

To install **Timthumb** as a Composer package to be used with Laravel 4, simply add this to your `composer.json`:

```
"spescina/timthumb": "1.0.*"
```

and run composer update.

Once it's installed, you have to register the service provider. In `app/config/app.php` add the following line of code to the `providers` array:

```
'Spescina\Timthumb\TimthumbServiceProvider'
```

If you want in `app/config/app.php` add the following line of code to the `alias` array

```
'Timthumb' => 'Spescina\Timthumb\Facades\Timthumb'
```

Then, publish the config files with `php artisan config:publish spescina/timthumb`.

Then, publish the asset files with `php artisan asset:publish spescina/timthumb`.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

Generate the image link with the following line of code

```
$url = Timthumb::link('path/to/image.jpg',width,height)
```

Set 0 width or 0 height to let Timthumb mantain the original image ratio
