IPX
High performance, secure and easy to use image proxy based on sharp and libvips.
Usage
Quick Start
You can use ipx
command to start server using:
$ npx ipx
The default server directory is the current working directory.
Programatic Usage
You can use IPX as a Connect/Express middleware or directly use ipx api.
import { createIPX, createIPXMiddleware } from "ipx";
const ipx = createIPX();
const app = express();
app.use("/image", createIPXMiddleware(ipx));
Examples
The examples assume that a static
folder with buffalo.png
file is present in the directory where IPX server is running.
Get original image:
http://localhost:3000/_/static/buffalo.png
Change format to webp
and keep other things same as source:
http://localhost:3000/f_webp/static/buffalo.png
Keep original format (png
) and set width to 200
:
http://localhost:3000/w_200/static/buffalo.png
Resize to 200x200px
using embed
method and change format to webp
:
http://localhost:3000/embed,f_webp,s_200x200/static/buffalo.png
