Option to designate format in the request

[etcook]

According to the imgix API documentation, you can get the exif data by utilizing the fm modifier. Unfortunately, that doesn't seem to be supported within imgix-rails. Adding the fm option would be helpful.

Here's what I've done to use fm to grab webp-format images:

ix_image_url(self.image.key, IMAGE_SIZES_IX[size.to_sym]) + '&fm=webp'

In mimi_types.rb:

IMAGE_SIZES_IX = {xl: { w: 1000, h: 1000 }, large: { w: 500, h: 500 }

In the view:

product.get_image_url(:large)

To add to what @abrambailey said, you can also pass in fm directly as a parameter:

<%= ix_image_url('unsplash/bridge.jpg', {fm:'json'}) %>

Using the ix_image_url function will generate a URL whose response body would contain the exif data. This would be preferred over using ix_image_tag which would wrap the same URL in an <img> tag.

I'm going to close this issue as it is fairly old, but feel free to comment back if any further questions arise.
