The published npm package will continue to be available as before, no changes necessary!

photon.js

JavaScript library for the WordPress.com Photon image manipulation service.

How to use

Node.js

Install for Node.js via npm:

$ npm install photon

Now you can simply require('photon') in your module to generate Photon URLs.

var photon = require('photon');

var url = photon('https://cloudup.com/logo/cloudup-salmon-logo.png')

console.log(url);
// https://i2.wp.com/cloudup.com/logo/cloudup-salmon-logo.png

Browser

Include dist/photon.js in a <script> tag. A photon global variable function is exposed:

<script src="photon.js"></script>
<script>
  var url = photon('https://cloudup.com/logo/cloudup-salmon-logo.png')

  console.log(url);
  // https://i2.wp.com/cloudup.com/logo/cloudup-salmon-logo.png
</script>

You can also consume photon.js via browserify when installed via npm (see Node.js instructions above).
