A simple JS library to get ImageData.

npm i @alttiri/get-image-data

---

• In Node.js use getImageDataWithSharp to get ImageData with sharp library.

  Do not forget to install sharp (npm i sharp). Since sharp is not included as a dependency (This allows you to install the version of sharp you need).

• For browsers just use getImageDataWithCanvas.

  It uses OffscreenCanvas to get the ImageData for File/Blob input.

  You can get File from the HTML input element, and Blob from fetch response.
