This project is created for the Udacity Full Stack Javascript Developer Nanodegree Program.
The project consists of the Node.js project serving the API to handle resizing and serving resized images. The purpose of the API is to place images into your frontend with the size set via URL parameters but also to store resized images and serve properly scaled versions of your images to the frontend to reduce page load size.
The API can only serve existing images:
- encenadaport.jpg
- fjord.jpg
- icelandwaterfall.jpg
- palmtunnel.jpg
- santamonica.jpg
Images cannot be uploaded through the API, but it can be added to the project manually by uploading it into the /images/full directory.
To use an API, frist you have to build and start the aplication:
npm run build
npm run start:dev //if you want to test typescript code
or
npm run start:prod //if you want to test built code
If you want to make your life easier you can use:
npm run build-and-run-dev
or
npm run build-and-run-prod
To use an API just enter the URL in the browser or create GET request in the Postman.
http://localhost:3001/api/images?imagename={image_name}&width={width}&height={height}
Example: http://{url}/api/images?imagename=fjord&width=100&height=100
To run all tests, execute existing script
npm run build-and-test
