Usage Examples

Basic Usage

import ToolSharp from '@toolx/core';

// Example usage
const toolSharp = new ToolSharp({
    ext: 'jpg',
    scale: 1.5,
    api: {
        resize: { width: 300, height: 200 },
        rotate: 90,
        sharpen: true,
        // Other sharp options
    }
});

// Run the tool
toolSharp.run(inputFilePath, outputFilePath).then(() => {
    console.log('Image processing complete');
});

Advanced Usage in a Pipeline

import { Pipeline } from '@toolx/core';
import ToolSharp from '@toolx/sharp';
import ToolOther from '@toolx/other'; // Another ToolX tool

// Setting up the pipeline
const pipeline = new Pipeline();
pipeline.compose(
    new ToolOther(/* ToolOther options */),
    new ToolSharp({
        ext: 'png',
        scale: 2,
        api: {
            resize: { width: 600 },
            flip: true,
            toFormat: 'png',
            // Other sharp options
        }
    })
);

// Run the pipeline
pipeline.run(inputPath, outputPath).then(() => {
    console.log('Image processing pipeline complete');
});

Sharp Library Integration

ToolSharp integrates with the sharp library for most of its image processing capabilities. For detailed information on the sharp library and its options, visit sharp documentation.
