Installation - Step-by-Step Guide 🪜

• Step 1: Install Remige in your local project with:

$ npm install remige

• Step 2: To use Remige, import ImagePool and set up your image processing pipeline:

import { ImagePool } from "remige";
import { cpus } from "os";

const imagePool = new ImagePool(cpus().length);

Ensure to only create one ImagePool instance to avoid memory issues during parallel image processing.

Usage

All API remains same as @squoosh/lib

Ingesting Images

Ingest images using imagePool.ingestImage(), accepting ArrayBuffer from fs.readFile() or fetch().

import fs from "fs/promises";

const file = await fs.readFile("./path/to/image.png");
const image = imagePool.ingestImage(file);

Preprocessing and Encoding Images

Preprocess and encode images to various formats:

const preprocessOptions = {
  resize: {
    width: 100,
    height: 50,
  },
};

await image.preprocess(preprocessOptions);

const encodeOptions = {
  mozjpeg: {}, // default settings
  jxl: {
    quality: 90,
  },
};

const result = await image.encode(encodeOptions);

Closing ImagePool

Close the ImagePool pipeline to prevent ingesting and encoding new images:

await imagePool.close();

Writing Encoded Images to File System

Write encoded images to the file system:

const rawEncodedImage = image.encodedWith.mozjpeg.binary;

await fs.writeFile("/path/to/new/image.jpg", rawEncodedImage);

Extracting Image Information

Extract decoded and encoded image information:

console.log(await image.decoded);
console.log(image.encodedWith.jxl);

Auto Optimizer

Remige includes an experimental auto optimizer:

const encodeOptions = {
  mozjpeg: "auto",
};
