cloudinate

Batch upload files to Cloudinary

Cloudinate automates uploading files to Cloudinary. It accepts a glob pattern and uploads all files that match the pattern to Cloudinary. Cloudinate is meant to simplify the uploading of assets for the metalsmith-cloudinary plugin, but can of course be used for other purposes as well.

Installation

$ npm install cloudinate

Cloudinate can also be installed globally with npm install cloudinate -g

Usage

local install

If you've installed cloudinate locally you could use a script upload.js:

var cloudinate = require('cloudinate');

// Settings
var keys = require('./keys')

cloudinate({
  keys: keys,
  files: './images/*.jpg'
});

Where keys.js is a module that exports your api keys like so:

// Ignore this with your .gitignore
module.exports = {
  'cloud_name': 'your_cloud_name_here',
  'api_key': 'your_api_key_here',
  'api_secret': 'your_api_secret_here'
}

Run the above script with node upload.js.

global install

Or if you've installed cloudinate globally, you can run it from the command line like so:

$ cloudinate -k 'keys.js' -f 'images/**/*.jpg'

Options

You can pass the following options:

• files: a glob pattern of the files to upload (required, command line flag: -f)
• keys: an object containing your Cloudinary cloud_name, api_key and api_secret (required, command line flag: -k)
• relativeTo: a path, public_ids will be generated relative to this path (optional, command line flag: -r)

What does it do

Cloudinate will upload the files that match the supplied pattern. Uploaded files will be given a public_id according to their relative path and name, to make subsequent retrieval easier.

For example, successfully uploading images/1.jpg would result in output that resembles:

{
  public_id: 'images/1',
  version: {version number here},
  signature: {signature number here},
  width: 7200,
  height: 10800,
  format: 'jpg',
  resource_type: 'image',
  created_at: '2016-02-20T12:44:44Z',
  tags: [],
  bytes: 3008861,
  type: 'upload',
  etag: {etag number here},
  url: 'http://res.cloudinary.com/{cloud_name_here}/image/upload/v{version_number_here}/images/1.jpg',
  secure_url: 'https://res.cloudinary.com/{cloud_name_here}/image/upload/v{version_number_here}/images/1.jpg',
  original_filename: '1'
}
