Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Replace Color Travis Build Status JavaScript Standard Style NPM Version

replace-color replaces color with another one pixel by pixel. Especially this will be helpful if you want to remove the watermarks from the images. This package is built on top of Jimp.

Install

npm install --save replace-color

Basic usage

replace-color supports both Node.js error-first callbacks and promises. The package returns a Jimp's instance which you can use to execute some other image manipulations methods or save it with Jimp's write method.

Node.js error-first callback example

const replaceColor = require('replace-color')

replaceColor({
  image: './input.jpg',
  colors: {
    type: 'hex',
    targetColor: '#FF0000',
    replaceColor: '#FFFFFF'
  }
}, (err, jimpObject) => {
  if (err) return console.log(err)
  jimpObject.write('./output.jpg', (err) => {
    if (err) return console.log(err)
  })
})

Promise example

const replaceColor = require('replace-color')

replaceColor({
  image: './input.jpg',
  colors: {
    type: 'hex',
    targetColor: '#FF0000',
    replaceColor: '#FFFFFF'
  }
})
  .then((jimpObject) => {
    jimpObject.write('./output.jpg', (err) => {
      if (err) return console.log(err)
    })
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.log(err)
  })

API

replaceColor(options, [callback])

  • options Object (required) - the options.
    • image Buffer | Object | String (required) - an image being processed. It can be a buffer, Jimp's instance, a path to an image on your host machine or a URL address to an image on the internet. Please, take a look at the tests to understand all these options.
    • colors Object (required) - the colors.
      • type String (required) - a targetColor and replaceColor type. Supported values are hex and rgb.
      • targetColor String | Array (required) - a color you want to replace. A 7-symbol string in case of hex type (e.g. #000000, #FFFFFF). An array of 3 integers from 0 to 255 in case of rgb type (e.g. [0, 0, 0], [255, 255, 255]).
      • replaceColor String | Array (required) - a new color which will be used instead of a targetColor color. A 7-symbol string in case of hex type (e.g. #000000, #FFFFFF). An array of 3 integers from 0 to 255 in case of rgb type (e.g. [0, 0, 0], [255, 255, 255]). You can also define a transparent channel for a replaceColor color. To achieve this, you can use a 9-symbol string in case of hex type (e.g. #00000000, #FFFFFFFF). Based on this Stack Overflow answer, an alpha channel is controlled by the first pair of digits in a hex code (e.g., 00 means fully transparent, 7F means 50%, FF means fully opaque). Also, you can use an array of 4 integers in case of rgb type. The first 3 integers must be from 0 to 255 and the last one must be from 0 to 1 (e.g., 0 means fully transparent, 0.5 means 50%, 1 means fully opaque).
    • formula String (optional) - one of the three formulas to calculate the color difference. Supported values are E76, E94 and E00. The default value is E00 (the best algorithm).
    • deltaE Number (optional) - a deltaE value which corresponds to a JND. The default value is 2.3. Please, read more about deltaE here. Generaly speaking, if the processed by the replace-color package image still has the watermarks, you should increase the deltaE value.
  • callback Function (optional) - a Node.js error-first callback.

Change a background color from a green to a 50% transparent green (using rgb type)

Let's try to change a background color for this picture.

const replaceColor = require('replace-color')

replaceColor({
  image: 'https://i.imgur.com/aCxZpaq.png',
  colors: {
    type: 'rgb',
    targetColor: [102, 174, 116],
    replaceColor: [102, 174, 116, 0.5]
  },
  deltaE: 10
})
  .then((jimpObject) => {
    jimpObject.write('./output.png', (err) => {
      if (err) return console.log(err)
    })
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    console.log(err)
  })

Example

Error handling

To indicate the replace-color's errors you should use the err instanceof replaceColor.ReplaceColorError class.

replaceColor({}, (err, jimpObject) => {
  if (err instanceof replaceColor.ReplaceColorError) {
    //  A replace-color's error occurred. 
  } else if (err) {
    // An unknown error occurred.
  }
  
  // Everything went fine.
})

A replace-color's error instance has the code and field properties. For now, the package has two codes: PARAMETER_INVALID and PARAMETER_REQUIRED. The field property shows which exact property was not passed or is invalid using the glob notation (e.g. options.colors.type). Please, take a look at the tests to see all the possible cases.
