Optimize image on the client side

Optimize image after selecting using <input type="file">. The optimization process takes place in the background and it's done automatically by listening for changes on all inputs type file.

Note that images that are larger in size after compression are not taken into account.

Features

• Compressing by the browser, client-side. No image is sent outside of the browser anywhere.
• When compression takes more than 1 second then the user will see a busy indicator.

Getting started

NPM

npm install @sitelintcode/optimize-image-on-the-client-side --save

TypeScript

import { OptimizeImage } from '@sitelintcode/optimize-image-on-the-client-side';

const optimizeImage: OptimizeImage = new OptimizeImage();

optimizeImage.install();

Options

cssQuerySelector?: string | undefined - you can specify here custom CSS selector to find your own input type file. By default there is a global change event listener that handles all inputs type file.

onCompressionDoneCallback?: Function - pass callback after compression is done. const onCompressionDone = (filesBeforeCompression, filesAfterCompression) => {};

quality: number = 0.75 - you may change the default quality parameter. Read more about quality paremeter on MDN Docs.

This could be set through install method arguments:

const optimizeImage = new OptimizeImage();

optimizeImage.install(undefined, undefined, 0.85);

or at any time later

const optimizeImage = new OptimizeImage();

optimizeImage.quality = 0.85;

Browser environment

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@sitelintcode/[email protected]/dist/optimize-image-on-the-client-side.js"></script>
<script>
(function() {
  const optimizeImage = new window.sitelint.OptimizeImage();
  optimizeImage.install();
}())
</script>

Notes

Note the version number in the jsdelivr URL: 0.0.29. Don't forget to set desired version. You may check releases: https://github.com/sitelint/optimize-image-on-the-client-side/releases

Omit the version completely or use latest to load the latest one (not recommended for production usage).

Technical

1. import { terser } from "rollup-plugin-terser"; was replaced with import { terser } from "rollup-plugin-minification"; because rollup-plugin-terser is not compatible with Rollup 3.x version. See: https://github.com/TrySound/rollup-plugin-terser/issues/119
