Usage example

import ImageResizer from '@bam.tech/react-native-image-resizer';

ImageResizer.createResizedImage(
  path,
  maxWidth,
  maxHeight,
  compressFormat,
  quality,
  rotation,
  outputPath
)
  .then((response) => {
    // response.uri is the URI of the new image that can now be displayed, uploaded...
    // response.path is the path of the new image
    // response.name is the name of the new image with the extension
    // response.size is the size of the new image
  })
  .catch((err) => {
    // Oops, something went wrong. Check that the filename is correct and
    // inspect err to get more details.
  });

Sample app

A basic, sample app is available in the example folder. It uses the module to resize a photo from the Camera Roll.

API

createResizedImage(
  /**
   * uri parameter accepts`path` or `uri`.
   * This property has been tested with the output of @bam.tech/react-native-image-picker,
   * react-native-vision-camera, @react-native-camera-roll/camera-roll and http link
   **/
  uri,
  maxWidth,
  maxHeight,
  compressFormat,
  quality,
  (rotation = 0),
  outputPath,
  (keepMeta = false),
  (options = {})
); // Returns a Promise

The promise resolves with an object containing: path, uri, name, size (bytes), width (pixels), and height of the new file. The URI can be used directly as the source of an <img> component.

Limitations

• If you are using @react-native-camera-roll/camera-roll with new architecture enabled this library is not going to work. If you try to display an image with the uri of the library using <img> you are going to have the following error: No suitable image URL loader found for ph://.... This error come from the ReactNative ImageLoader, which is the one we are currently using. Help/PR for solving this are welcome. Until then, we recommend using react-native-image-picker.
• Image EXIF orientation are correctly handled on Android only, But not yet on IOS #402.
