## Introduction

Resizes an image to the required dimensions. It accepts a string with a file path to the image or a `October\Rain\Database\Attach\File` object (you will have one of these if you have used the attachOne or AttachMany relationship)

Please note, the not found image can be overwritten via the settings in the admin area.

<a name="filters"></a>
## Available filters
[`resize(int $width [, int $height , array $options])`](#resize), [`imageWidth()`](#imageDimensions), [`imageHeight()`](#imageDimensions)

<a name="string"></a>
### Using a string

Please note, if the filter alters the URL, you must apply resize afterwards

```
{{ 'assets/graphics/background.jpg' | theme | resize(500,500) }}
```

<a name="variable"></a>
### Using a variable

```
{{ property.image | resize(500) }}
```

<a name="resize"></a>
## resize(int $width [, int $height , array $options])

Resize an image according to the given params. If `$width` or `$height` is `0`, that value is calculated using original image ratio

### Options
Key | Description | Default | Options
--- | --- | --- | ---
mode | How the image should be fitted to dimensions | auto | exact, portrait, landscape, auto, fit or crop
offset | Offset the resized image | [0,0] | [int, int]
extension | The extension on the image to return | auto | auto, jpg, jpeg, gif, png
quality | The quality of compression _*requires cache clear_ | 95 | 0-100
sharpen | Sharpen the image across a scale of 0 - 100 _*requires cache clear_ | 0 | 0-100
compress | Whether the image should be compressed or not. Only takes effect when TinyPng compression is enabled. | true | true,false


### Usage in template
```
{{ property.image | resize(500, false, { mode: 'crop', quality: '80', extension: 'png' }) }}
```

### Usage in PHP

The image resizer can also be used easily in PHP, as follows:

```
use ToughDeveloper\ImageResizer\Classes\Image;

$image = new Image('/path/to/image.jpg');
$image->resize(150, 200, [ 'mode' => 'crop' ]);
```

### Usage in Backend List

The image resizer can also be used on backend lists with the type of `thumb`, e.g.

```
image:
    label: Image
    type: thumb
```

This works with:

 - AttachMany (uses first image) [Docs](https://octobercms.com/docs/backend/forms#widget-fileupload)
 - AttachOne [Docs](https://octobercms.com/docs/backend/forms#widget-fileupload)
 - Mediafinder [Docs](https://octobercms.com/docs/backend/forms#widget-mediafinder)

You can also optionally pass width (default 50), height (default 50) and options as follows:

```
image:
    label: Image
    type: thumb
    width: 75
    height: 100
    options:
        mode: crop
```

<a name="imageDimensions"></a>
## imageWidth() - imageHeight()

Return current image width/height - useful if you need to know the size of an image resized only by one side.
```
{{ '/path/to/image.jpg' | resize(250) | imageHeight() }}
```

## Image Compression via TinyPNG

The plugin integrates with the TinyPNG API to provide image compression. A developer API key is required, to obtain one visit https://tinypng.com/developers. Once obtained, enter it in the Image Resizer Settings area of October CMS backend. 

TinyPNG offer 500 free compression per month, the plugin automatically caches resized images to save credits, an option to not compress certain images is also available.

If you are focussed on pagespeed, it is recommended to set your image quality at 70-80 to obtain the lowest filesize whilst still retaining high quality images.
