Angular utility for compressing image to a satisfying size, that you choose

Import

Usage

Import it in your app module

import {BrowserModule} from '@angular/platform-browser';
import {NgModule} from '@angular/core';

import {AppComponent} from './app.component';
import {NgxImageCompressService} from 'ngx-image-compress';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent],
  imports: [BrowserModule,
  providers: [NgxImageCompressService],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {}

Use it in your component

import {Component} from '@angular/core';
import {NgxImageCompressService} from 'ngx-image-compress';
import {DOC_ORIENTATION} from 'ngx-image-compress/lib/image-compress';


@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss']
})
export class AppComponent {

  constructor(private imageCompress: NgxImageCompressService) {}
  
  imgResultBeforeCompress;
  imgResultAfterCompress;

  compressFile() {
    this.imageCompress.uploadFile().then(({image, orientation}) => {
      this.imgResultBeforeCompress = image;
      console.warn('Size in bytes was:', this.imageCompress.byteCount(image));
      this.imageCompress.compressFile(image, orientation, 50, 50).then(
        result => {
          this.imgResultAfterCompress = result;
          console.warn('Size in bytes is now:', this.imageCompress.byteCount(result));
        }
      );
    });
  }
}

How it's working underwood?

We will use Renderer2, and transform the image multiple time through HTML canvas encrustation. In fact you can use the static version into the library and import renderer by yourself.

Since Angular 6 include its own packaging system, I no longer need my webpack config to build it. Everything is working in angular 7 without complaint now (test app is on github)

2018/10/04

Adding Live example. Everything is now working and tested but I will make some arrangement to the code in index.ts before submitting it again to npm, in order to make it more handy.

Upload to Github Need some fixes and tests to be use as a static library
