Installing

Please read Modules instalation section before.

git clone https://github.com/ivanoff/images-manipulation-performance.git

cd images-manipulation-performance

npm install

Testing

npm test

Using

IN=<source_folder> OUT=<result_folder> node src/index.js

where <source_folder> is foulder where original images are stored, <result_folder> is folder, where result images will be saved.

for example:

IN=static/original OUT=static/result node src/index.js

In this example you can see, than sharp module is the best, regards to speed of processing of images (~9 images per second on my local computer)
