AssetGoblin

Simply manipulate images or serve static files

Requirements

• ImageMagick and/or vips
• config.json file inside working directory formatted like below

{
  "port": "8080",
  "public_dir": "public",
  "image": {
    "formats": ["avif", "jpeg", "jpg", "png", "tiff", "webp"],
    "presets": {
      "lg": "960",
      "lg2x": "1920",
      "sm": "640",
      "sm2x": "1280"
    },
    "path": "/img/",
    "directory": "assets/img",
    "cache_dir": "cache",
    "avif_through_vips": false
  }
}

Note

During its first run AssetGoblin encodes the config in gob format. If you want to modify the configuration, edit your json file, then delete the gob file, so it can re-encode it.

Note

Avif through vips is disabled by default because that encoding is really slow at the moment. If you want to use avif files, you must have ImageMagick installed.

Images

Resizes image's width (while preserving original ratio) according to the queried preset and transforms it to the queried format, e.g. if you have your settings.json just like the one above and a path/to/image.png file inside /path/to/workdir/assets/img, you can do any of the following:

https://localhost:8080/img/lg/path/to/image.webp
https://localhost:8080/img/lg2x/path/to/image.png
https://localhost:8080/img/sm/path/to/image.jpg
https://localhost:8080/img/sm2x/path/to/image.avif

Static files

https://localhost:8080/path/to/file
