Rollup Plugin Imagemin: Optimize Images with Imagemin

rollup-plugin-imagemin

rollup-plugin-imagemin is a Rollup plugin that uses imagemin to optimize images in your Rollup build. If you've used imagemin on any other platform before, this will feel familiar to you.

Install

npm i rollup-plugin-imagemin --save-dev

Usage

// rollup.config.js
import { imagemin } from "rollup-plugin-imagemin";

export default {
  plugins: [
    imagemin()
  ],
  input: "src/index.js"
  output: {
    format: "esm",
    file: "./dist/index.js"
  }
};

// src/index.js
import someImage from "./some-image.png"; // <-- With the above config, this should output an optimized PNG to the dist folder.

Options

rollup-plugin-imagemin has number of useful options to help you tune your builds to your liking:

disable (default: false): Disable all optimizations and output unoptimized images. Useful for speedier development builds.
verbose (default: false): Enables verbose logging, such as optimization gains.
emitFiles (default: true): Whether to emit files. Could be useful for server side builds. Be aware that unless disable is set to true, images will still be optimized in memory, but will not be written to disk.
hashLength (default: 16): The length of hashes used in asset filenames.
include (default: "**/*.{svg,png,jpg,jpeg,gif}"): File glob pattern of assets to be processed by rollup-plugin-imagemin.
exclude (default: ""): File glob pattern of assets to not be processed by rollup-plugin-imagemin. The pattern defined by exclude is applied after the value of the include option pattern.
fileName (default: "[name]-[hash][extname]"): The output filename pattern of images optimized by rollup-plugin-imagemin. The pattern includes the following tokens:
- [name]: The basename of the input file.
- [hash]: The has of the input file.
- [extname]: The extension of the input file.
publicPath (default: ""): A folder for where to put optimized assets. Use this to separate your images into a separate folder.
preserveTree (default: false): If true, preserve directory structure relative to process.cwd(). Can also be a path specifying root from where directory structure should be preserved.
gifsicle: (default: { optimizationLevel: 3 }): Settings to merge with default, to pass to imagemin-gifsicle.
jpegtran (default: { progressive: true }): Settings to merge with default, to pass to imagemin-jpegtran.
pngquant: (default: { speed: 1, strip: true }): Settings to merge with default, to pass to imagemin-pngquant.
svgo: (default: { precision: 1, multipass: true }): Settings to merge with default, to pass to imagemin-svgo.
plugins: object with plugin names as keys and plugins as value to pass to imagemin. By default, {gifsicle: 'imagemin-gifsicle', jpegtran: 'imagemin-jpegtran', pngquant: 'imagemin-pngquant', svgo: 'imagemin-svgo'} are used. Each plugin function must be a factory, taking the plugin's config (the object at options[pluginName], merged with defaults), and returning an imagemin buffer transformer.

Using custom plugins

You can use custom plugins the following way:

// rollup.config.js
import imagemin from "rollup-plugin-imagemin";
import myCustomPlugin from "imagemin-my-custom-plugin";

export default {
  plugins: [
    imagemin({
        myCustomPlugin: {
            // Config to pass to `myCustomPlugin`'s factory
        },
        plugins: {
            myCustomPlugin,
        }
    })
  ],
  input: "src/index.js"
  output: {
    format: "esm",
    file: "./dist/index.js"
  }
};

Special thanks

This is my first Rollup plugin. As such, I drew extensive help from the Rollup documentation, but also from the rollup-plugin-url and rollup-plugin-image source code. If anything in the plugin looks familiar to either of those two, it's no coincidence, and I owe a lot to the authors of those plugins for inspiration and guidance.

EasyMDE: Simple, Beautiful and Embeddable JavaScript Markdown Editor

EasyMDE - Markdown Editor

This repository is a fork of SimpleMDE, made by Sparksuite. Go to the dedicated section for more information.

A drop-in JavaScript text area replacement for writing beautiful and understandable Markdown. EasyMDE allows users who may be less experienced with Markdown to use familiar toolbar buttons and shortcuts.

In addition, the syntax is rendered while editing to clearly show the expected result. Headings are larger, emphasized words are italicized, links are underlined, etc.

EasyMDE also features both built-in auto saving and spell checking. The editor is entirely customizable, from theming to toolbar buttons and javascript hooks.

- The function gets a file and onSuccess and onError callback functions as parameters. onSuccess(imageUrl: string) and onError(errorMessage: string)
imageUploadEndpoint: The endpoint where the images data will be sent, via an asynchronous POST request. The server is supposed to save this image, and return a JSON response.
- if the request was successfully processed (HTTP 200 OK): {"data": {"filePath": "<filePath>"}} where filePath is the path of the image (absolute if imagePathAbsolute is set to true, relative if otherwise);
- otherwise: {"error": "<errorCode>"}, where errorCode can be noFileGiven (HTTP 400 Bad Request), typeNotAllowed (HTTP 415 Unsupported Media Type), fileTooLarge (HTTP 413 Payload Too Large) or importError (see errorMessages below). If errorCode is not one of the errorMessages, it is alerted unchanged to the user. This allows for server-side error messages. No default value.

- sbOnUploaded: Status message displayed when the image has been uploaded. Defaults to Uploaded #image_name#.
- sizeUnits: A comma-separated list of units used to display messages with human-readable file sizes. Defaults to B, KB, MB (example: 218 KB). You can use B,KB,MB instead if you prefer without whitespaces (218KB).
errorMessages: Errors displayed to the user, using the errorCallback option, where #image_name#, #image_size# and #image_max_size# will replaced by their respective values, that can be used for customization or internationalization:
- noFileGiven: The server did not receive any file from the user. Defaults to You must select a file..
- typeNotAllowed: The user send a file type which doesn't match the imageAccept list, or the server returned this error code. Defaults to This image type is not allowed..

  <script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/highlight.js/latest/highlight.min.js"></script>
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/highlight.js/latest/styles/github.min.css">
- hljs: An injectible instance of highlight.js. If you don't want to rely on the global namespace (window.hljs), you can provide an instance here. Defaults to undefined.
- markedOptions: Set the internal Markdown renderer's options. Other renderingConfig options will take precedence.

Toolbar icons

Below are the built-in toolbar icons (only some of which are enabled by default), which can be reorganized however you like. "Name" is the name of the icon, referenced in the JavaScript. "Action" is either a function or a URL to open. "Class" is the class given to the icon. "Tooltip" is the small tooltip that appears via the title="" attribute. Note that shortcut hints are added automatically and reflect the specified action if it has a key bind assigned to it (i.e. with the value of action set to bold and that of tooltip set to Bold, the final text the user will see would be "Bold (Ctrl-B)").

Additionally, you can add a separator between any icons by adding "|" to the toolbar array.

Name	Action	Tooltip Class
bold	toggleBold	Bold fa fa-bold
italic	toggleItalic	Italic fa fa-italic
strikethrough	toggleStrikethrough	Strikethrough fa fa-strikethrough

Toolbar customization

Customize the toolbar using the toolbar option.

Only the order of existing buttons:

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE({
    toolbar: ["bold", "italic", "heading", "|", "quote"]
});

All information and/or add your own icons

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE({
    toolbar: [
        {
            name: "bold",
            action: EasyMDE.toggleBold,
            className: "fa fa-bold",
            title: "Bold",
        },
        "italics", // shortcut to pre-made button
        {
            name: "custom",
            action: (editor) => {
                // Add your own code
            },
            className: "fa fa-star",
            title: "Custom Button",
            attributes: { // for custom attributes
                id: "custom-id",
                "data-value": "custom value" // HTML5 data-* attributes need to be enclosed in quotation marks ("") because of the dash (-) in its name.
            }
        },
        "|" // Separator
        // [, ...]
    ]
});

Put some buttons on dropdown menu

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE({
    toolbar: [{
                name: "heading",
                action: EasyMDE.toggleHeadingSmaller,
                className: "fa fa-header",
                title: "Headers",
            },
            "|",
            {
                name: "others",
                className: "fa fa-blind",
                title: "others buttons",
                children: [
                    {
                        name: "image",
                        action: EasyMDE.drawImage,
                        className: "fa fa-picture-o",
                        title: "Image",
                    },
                    {
                        name: "quote",
                        action: EasyMDE.toggleBlockquote,
                        className: "fa fa-percent",
                        title: "Quote",
                    },
                    {
                        name: "link",
                        action: EasyMDE.drawLink,
                        className: "fa fa-link",
                        title: "Link",
                    }
                ]
            },
        // [, ...]
    ]
});

Shift-Ctrl-H	Shift-Cmd-H	"toggleHeadingBigger"
F9	F9	"toggleSideBySide"
F11	F11	"toggleFullScreen"

Here is how you can change a few, while leaving others untouched:

const editor = new EasyMDE({
    shortcuts: {
        "toggleOrderedList": "Ctrl-Alt-K", // alter the shortcut for toggleOrderedList
        "toggleCodeBlock": null, // unbind Ctrl-Alt-C
        "drawTable": "Cmd-Alt-T", // bind Cmd-Alt-T to drawTable action, which doesn't come with a default shortcut
    }
});

Shortcuts are automatically converted between platforms. If you define a shortcut as "Cmd-B", on PC that shortcut will be changed to "Ctrl-B". Conversely, a shortcut defined as "Ctrl-B" will become "Cmd-B" for Mac users.

The list of actions that can be bound is the same as the list of built-in actions available for toolbar buttons.

Advanced use

Event handling

You can catch the following list of events: https://codemirror.net/doc/manual.html#events

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE();
easyMDE.codemirror.on("change", () => {
    console.log(easyMDE.value());
});

Removing EasyMDE from text area

You can revert to the initial text area by calling the toTextArea method. Note that this clears up the autosave (if enabled) associated with it. The text area will retain any text from the destroyed EasyMDE instance.

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE();
// ...
easyMDE.toTextArea();
easyMDE = null;

If you need to remove registered event listeners (when the editor is not needed anymore), call easyMDE.cleanup().

Useful methods

The following self-explanatory methods may be of use while developing with EasyMDE.

const easyMDE = new EasyMDE();
easyMDE.isPreviewActive(); // returns boolean
easyMDE.isSideBySideActive(); // returns boolean
easyMDE.isFullscreenActive(); // returns boolean
easyMDE.clearAutosavedValue(); // no returned value

How it works

EasyMDE is a continuation of SimpleMDE.

SimpleMDE began as an improvement of lepture's Editor project, but has now taken on an identity of its own. It is bundled with CodeMirror and depends on Font Awesome.

CodeMirror is the backbone of the project and parses much of the Markdown syntax as it's being written. This allows us to add styles to the Markdown that's being written. Additionally, a toolbar and status bar have been added to the top and bottom, respectively. Previews are rendered by Marked using GitHub Flavored Markdown (GFM).

SimpleMDE fork

I originally made this fork to implement FontAwesome 5 compatibility into SimpleMDE. When that was done I submitted a pull request, which has not been accepted yet. This, and the project being inactive since May 2017, triggered me to make more changes and try to put new life into the project.

Changes include:

FontAwesome 5 compatibility
Guide button works when editor is in preview mode
Links are now https:// by default
Small styling changes
Support for Node 8 and beyond
Lots of refactored code
Links in preview will open in a new tab by default
TypeScript support

My intention is to continue development on this project, improving it and keeping it alive.

Hacking EasyMDE

You may want to edit this library to adapt its behavior to your needs. This can be done in some quick steps:

Follow the prerequisites and installation instructions in the contribution guide;
Do your changes;
Run gulp command, which will generate files: dist/easymde.min.css and dist/easymde.min.js;
Copy-paste those files to your code base, and you are done.

How To Customize WordPress Plugins? (4 Easy Ways To Do)

This is image title
WordPress needs no introduction. It has been in the world for quite a long time. And up till now, it has given a tough fight to leading web development technology. The main reason behind its remarkable success is, it is highly customizable and also SEO-friendly. Other benefits include open-source technology, security, user-friendliness, and the thousands of free plugins it offers.

Talking of WordPress plugins, are a piece of software that enables you to add more features to the website. They are easy to integrate into your website and don’t hamper the performance of the site. WordPress, as a leading technology, has to offer many out-of-the-box plugins.

However, not always the WordPress would be able to meet your all needs. Hence you have to customize the WordPress plugin to provide you the functionality you wished. WordPress Plugins are easy to install and customize. You don’t have to build the solution from scratch and that’s one of the reasons why small and medium-sized businesses love it. It doesn’t need a hefty investment or the hiring of an in-house development team. You can use the core functionality of the plugin and expand it as your like.

In this blog, we would be talking in-depth about plugins and how to customize WordPress plugins to improve the functionality of your web applications.

What Is The Working Of The WordPress Plugins?

Developing your own plugin requires you to have some knowledge of the way they work. It ensures the better functioning of the customized plugins and avoids any mistakes that can hamper the experience on your site.

1. Hooks

Plugins operate primarily using hooks. As a hook attaches you to something, the same way a feature or functionality is hooked to your website. The piece of code interacts with the other components present on the website. There are two types of hooks: a. Action and b. Filter.

A. Action

If you want something to happen at a particular time, you need to use a WordPress “action” hook. With actions, you can add, change and improve the functionality of your plugin. It allows you to attach a new action that can be triggered by your users on the website.

There are several predefined actions available on WordPress, custom WordPress plugin development also allows you to develop your own action. This way you can make your plugin function as your want. It also allows you to set values for which the hook function. The add_ action function will then connect that function to a specific action.

B. Filters

They are the type of hooks that are accepted to a single variable or a series of variables. It sends them back after they have modified it. It allows you to change the content displayed to the user.

You can add the filter on your website with the apply_filter function, then you can define the filter under the function. To add a filter hook on the website, you have to add the $tag (the filter name) and $value (the filtered value or variable), this allows the hook to work. Also, you can add extra function values under $var.

Once you have made your filter, you can execute it with the add_filter function. This will activate your filter and would work when a specific function is triggered. You can also manipulate the variable and return it.

2. Shortcodes

Shortcodes are a good way to create and display the custom functionality of your website to visitors. They are client-side bits of code. They can be placed in the posts and pages like in the menu and widgets, etc.

There are many plugins that use shortcodes. By creating your very own shortcode, you too can customize the WordPress plugin. You can create your own shortcode with the add_shortcode function. The name of the shortcode that you use would be the first variable and the second variable would be the output of it when it is triggered. The output can be – attributes, content, and name.

3. Widgets

Other than the hooks and shortcodes, you can use the widgets to add functionality to the site. WordPress Widgets are a good way to create a widget by extending the WP_Widget class. They render a user-friendly experience, as they have an object-oriented design approach and the functions and values are stored in a single entity.

How To Customize WordPress Plugins?

There are various methods to customize the WordPress plugins. Depending on your need, and the degree of customization you wish to make in the plugin, choose the right option for you. Also, don’t forget to keep in mind that it requires a little bit of technical knowledge too. So find an expert WordPress plugin development company in case you lack the knowledge to do it by yourself.

1. Hire A Plugin Developer3
This is image title

One of the best ways to customize a WordPress plugin is by hiring a plugin developer. There are many plugin developers listed in the WordPress directory. You can contact them and collaborate with world-class WordPress developers. It is quite easy to find a WordPress plugin developer.

Since it is not much work and doesn’t pay well or for the long term a lot of developers would be unwilling to collaborate but, you will eventually find people.

2. Creating A Supporting Plugin

If you are looking for added functionality in an already existing plugin go for this option. It is a cheap way to meet your needs and creating a supporting plugin takes very little time as it has very limited needs. Furthermore, you can extend a plugin to a current feature set without altering its base code.

However, to do so, you have to hire a WordPress developer as it also requires some technical knowledge.

3. Use Custom Hooks

Use the WordPress hooks to integrate some other feature into an existing plugin. You can add an action or a filter as per your need and improve the functionality of the website.

If the plugin you want to customize has the hook, you don’t have to do much to customize it. You can write your own plugin that works with these hooks. This way you don’t have to build a WordPress plugin right from scratch. If the hook is not present in the plugin code, you can contact a WordPress developer or write the code yourself. It may take some time, but it works.

Once the hook is added, you just have to manually patch each one upon the release of the new plugin update.

4. Override Callbacks

The last way to customize WordPress plugins is by override callbacks. You can alter the core functionality of the WordPress plugin with this method. You can completely change the way it functions with your website. It is a way to completely transform the plugin. By adding your own custom callbacks, you can create the exact functionality you desire.

We suggest you go for a web developer proficient in WordPress as this requires a good amount of technical knowledge and the working of a plugin.

How to Image Cropping, Zooming, and Scaling with Angular & JavaScript

When building a web application there is a good chance you’re going to need to work with images eventually, even if it is something as simple as allowing a user to upload a profile image. In theory this is a simple task, but in reality, your website theme is probably anticipating images of a certain resolution or aspect ratio. If the user tries to upload an image that doesn’t meet your requirements, it might break your theme.

We’re going to see how to include image manipulation capabilities in your Angular application using the popular cropperjs JavaScript package.

To get an idea of what we’re going to accomplish, take a look at the following animated image:

Image Manipulation with Angular

In the above animation you’ll notice a source image which has a crop box. Altering the crop box will affect the image preview to the right of the source image. This image preview is an entirely new image that represents our manipulations and it can be downloaded as such.

Create a New Angular Project for the Web

Before getting too involved with this tutorial, the assumption is that you’ve got the Angular CLI installed and configured. For context, I’m using Angular 8.0.2 in this example. If you’re using an older or newer version, things may vary slightly.

From the CLI, execute the following:

ng new image-cropper-example

The above command will start the project creation process. When prompted, choose the defaults as we won’t be doing anything particularly fancy when it comes to Angular.

After the project has been created, navigate into the project and execute the following:

npm install cropperjs --save

The above command will install our cropperjs JavaScript dependency. As a fun fact, jQuery is not a requirement for this example.

Installing the cropperjs package will only install the JavaScript side of things. We’ll still need the CSS for visualizing our image manipulation box within the source image.

Open the project’s src/index.html file and include the following:

<!doctype html>
<html lang="en">
    <head>
        <meta charset="utf-8">
        <title>Image Cropping Project</title>
        <base href="/">
        <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">
        <link rel="icon" type="image/x-icon" href="favicon.ico">
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/cropperjs/1.5.1/cropper.min.css">
    </head>
    <body>
        <app-root></app-root>
    </body>
</html>

The only change made was in the cropper.min.css file that is now included. You can use it as part of the CDN or download it to be included directly within your project.

Before we get into the core code, let’s create a component to hold our image manipulation code:

ng g component ImageCropper

The above command will create appropriate TypeScript, HTML, and CSS files for our new component. You’ll see how each of these are used in the next step.

Manipulate Images with Simple JavaScript in the Browser

We’re going to do most of our development in the new component that we had just created, but before we do that, you might want to find an image to use. For this example, the image should be placed in the project’s src/assets directory.

Open the project’s src/app/image-cropper/image-cropper.component.css file and include the following CSS:

.img-container {
    width: 640px;
    height: 480px;
    float: left;
}

.img-preview {
    width: 200px;
    height: 200px;
    float: left;
    margin-left: 10px;
}

The above CSS is not critical to the success of our project, but it makes it a little more attractive to look at. Essentially we are defining the source canvas size and the destination image size.

Now open the project’s src/app/image-cropper/image-cropper.component.html file where we can add the markup for our component:

<div class="img-container">
    <img #image [src]="imageSource" crossorigin>
</div>
<img [src]="imageDestination" class="img-preview">

We’re getting a little ahead of ourselves here, but we have two <img> components, one for our source image and one for our destination image. Each component has a src variable that we’ll define later in our TypeScript. Notice that the source image has an #image attribute on it. This is a reference variable that we’ll use within the TypeScript, giving us access to the DOM element. Remember, we can’t just use query selectors in Angular like we can vanilla JavaScript.

With the component HTML out of the way, open the project’s src/app/image-cropper/image-cropper.component.ts file where we’ll do a bulk of the work:

import { Component, OnInit, ViewChild, Input, ElementRef } from '@angular/core';
import Cropper from "cropperjs";

@Component({
    selector: 'image-cropper',
    templateUrl: './image-croppper.component.html',
    styleUrls: ['./image-croppper.component.css']
})
export class ImageCroppperComponent implements OnInit {

    @ViewChild("image", { static: false })
    public imageElement: ElementRef;

    @Input("src")
    public imageSource: string;

    public imageDestination: string;
    private cropper: Cropper;

    public constructor() {
        this.imageDestination = "";
    }

    public ngAfterViewInit() {
        this.cropper = new Cropper(this.imageElement.nativeElement, {
            zoomable: false,
            scalable: false,
            aspectRatio: 1,
            crop: () => {
                const canvas = this.cropper.getCroppedCanvas();
                this.imageDestination = canvas.toDataURL("image/png");
            }
        });
    }

    public ngOnInit() { }

}

The above code is complete, but we’re going to break it down to explain what is happening. It isn’t much, but it is still good to know.

At the top we are importing the cropperjs package that we had previously downloaded and installed.

Remember that #image reference from the HTML file? We’re accessing it through the @ViewChild and mapping it to a variable to be used within our TypeScript code. The @Input is referring to a possible attribute called src which we’ll see later.

Because we’re working with elements in the view, we need to wait until the view has initialized before we make any attempts. To do this we can make use of the ngAfterViewInit method. Inside the ngAfterViewInit method we initialize our Cropper using the entire imageElement that we obtained from the HTML. During the initialization process we can define a few options. There are quite a few to choose from, but for us, we’re going to disable zooming and scaling of our image. In other words we’re only going to allow moving and cropping. We’re also going to define a crop box with a square aspect ratio. None of these are required options. The important option is the crop method, one of many possible event methods. The crop method is triggered every time something happens to the crop box. This is important to us because we want to constantly update our preview image.

The preview image is created by getting the cropped canvas and exporting it to an image.

At this point in time our component is done, but not yet being used. To use it, open the project’s src/app/app.component.html file and include the following:

<image-cropper src="assets/angular.png"></image-cropper>

Notice that we’re using image-cropper which is the selector value from the project’s src/app/image-cropper/image-cropper.component.ts file. We’re also using src which was the @Input that we defined in that same TypeScript file. The src should reference an image within our src/assets directory.

Conclusion

You just saw how to add image manipulation functionality to your Angular web applications through the cropperjs package. If you’d like to upload these altered images, you might want to check out my previous tutorial titled, Upload Files to Node.js using Angular.
