ImgCacher

Serve images from localStorage – great for offline apps. Yes, ImgCacher supports resizing & cropping.

Lightning-Quick 3-Level Caching

1. ImgCacher will try to look up the image in localStorage. This works across page loads!
2. If not found, ImgCacher will look up the cropped & resized image in an in-memory store. If you have the same image cropped and sized similarly on a page 1000 times, resizing & cropping will only be executed the first time.
3. If still not found, ImgCacher will look the image up in an in-memory store of source images. Whether you're loading an image 1 or 1000 times on a page, the source image will be downloaded only once.

How Do I Use ImgCacher?

<script type="text/javascript" src="/path/to/img-cacher.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var url = 'http://www.marketingjs.com/assets/car.jpg',
        imgCacher = new window.ImgCacher({
            prefix: 'img-demo-',
            logging: 'imgCacher'
        });

    // Basic usage
    imgCacher.src(url, { 
        maxWidth: 600,
        maxHeight: 600
    }, function(err, dataUrl) {
        var img = document.createElement('img');

        if (err) { // Something went wrong! Fallback to the supplied `url`.
            img.src = url;
        } else {
            img.src = dataUrl;
        }

        document.body.appendChild(img);
    });

    // A Square, Cropped Thumbnail
    imgCacher.src('test', { // 'test' is a cacheKey, see buildSrc in options
        fillWidth: 300,
        fillHeight: 300,
        bg: '#ffffff',
        cropWidth: 300,
        cropHeight: 300,
        src: function(done) {
            // If your src is dynamically generated (eg. private s3 URL), return as the 2nd argument
            setTimeout(function() {
                done(url);
            }, 3000);
        }
        // cropX: 0, // If not supplied, crop is centered horizontally
        // cropY: 0 // If not supplied, crop is centered vertically
    }, function(err, dataUrl) {
        var img = document.createElement('img');

        if (err) { // Something went wrong! Fallback to the supplied `url`.
            img.src = url;
        } else {
            img.src = dataUrl;
        }

        document.body.appendChild(img);
    });
</script>

CHANGELOG

1.1.5

• Math.ceil() all sizes for native functionality (eg. resize and crop to 182.9384px or invalid dimensions in iOS UIWebView creates a blank image).

1.1.4

• New base64Img options passed to toDataURL: options.type, options.encoderOptions.

1.1.3

• Fix cross-origin.

1.1.2

• Fix for log (works better with browser defaults).
• Fix for multiple images loading on the same page, but different sizes.

1.1.1

• Anti-aliasing support

1.1.0

• Fixed a bug in caching base64Img src images.

1.0.7

• Added cacheKey as first argument to the dynamic src function

1.0.6

• More obvious use of cacheKey
• Supply a src function to the options hash to build dynamic URLs only if necessary. This is helpful for private S3 URLs, etc.

1.0.5

• Optimize memoization.
  • Cache input src img in memory.
  • Cache generated base64URL from options in memory.

1.0.4

• Added logging option to ImgCacher.
• Memoization of getData for an immense speed boost. Now, if you getData the same src 20 times in parallel, only 1 request will be sent remotely, but all 20 callbacks will be fired as expected. This means only 1 remote request (instead of 20) and 1 save to localStorage (instead of 20).
• Adding img-cacher.min.js to the demo folder in future version releases.

1.0.3

• Added fillWidth and fillHeight. These maximize the image to the biggest possible area.
• Added cropWidth, cropHeight, cropX, and cropY. These crop your image to the desired size AFTER resizing it and BEFORE storing it locally.
• Added bg which adds a background color to the image (only seen if cropping out of bounds or if your image has a transparent background.

1.0.2

• Add options hash to all methods for all methods that accept a src. Options hash can functionally accept width, height, maxWidth, and maxHeight.
