Feature request :support existing GAE image service #37

Open cometta opened 9 years ago

cometta commented 9 years ago

image service is beneficial and a must to have. Please support this for nodejs

rrch commented 9 years ago

Can you elaborate on which features of the image service you'd like us to support?

There are a lot of libraries for image manipulation in node.js already, e.g. gm and node-canvas.

just like existing appengine sdk comes with image services which integrated together with blobstore. It is very convenient to upload image into blobstore and use image services to generate a url with auto crop , resize with extra parameter like =s100-c ..etc . Addon, image is cache in google CDN.

I also think this is a nice feature to have. Another use case would be to resize the images before uploading them to Google Cloud Storage.

It's true that we have gm or node-canvas but they require external dependencies (ImageMagicK or Cairo for node-canvas) which would be a little bit tricky to install if you're doing nodejs with managed VM.

I'm currently using lwip which requires no runtime dependencies but the feature is very limited at the moment.
