FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package imager-x-imgix-download-transformer
Imgix download transformer for Imager X
A transformer for Imager X that uses Imgix for transforms, but stores the transformed images locally.
Requirements
This plugin requires Craft CMS 5.0.0 or later, Imager X 5.0.0 or later, and an Imgix account.
Usage
This plugin is a hybrid between the default craft transformer that uses GD or Imagick to generate image transforms
locally on the server, and the imgix transformer that uses Imgix. It uses Imgix to transform the
image, but downloads and stores the image locally on the server.
Why not just use imgix? Saves you some $$$.
Why not just use craft? Saves you a lot of CPU cycles and memory, and you're not limited by your server configuration.
All configuration is done through Imager's standard configuration,
just like you would when using the craft and imgix transformers. This transformer will use the configuration for each
where appropriate, so if you run into problems test that your configuration works for those transformers.
To activate the transformer, set the transformer config setting
to imgixdownload:
Cave-ats, shortcomings, and tips
The biggest cave-at by not letting Imgix serve the images through its CDN, is that auto: format doesn't work anymore. You'll
have to serve up different formats manually, preferably using <picture>, just like you would if you used local transforms.
Even though transforms aren't done on the server, there will still be some latency while waiting for Imgix to deliver the image. So just
like when using the craft transformer, you'll benefit from configuring
automatic generation of transforms for your project.
External storages and optimizers
work with this transformer exactly like it does for craft.
Imager will use your imagerUrl config setting when serving images, so you're free to add your own pull CDN if you like.
Installation
To install the plugin, follow these instructions:
- Install with composer via
composer require spacecatninja/imager-x-imgix-download-transformerfrom your project directory. - Install the plugin in the Craft Control Panel under Settings > Plugins, or from the command line via
./craft plugin/install imager-x-imgix-download-transformer.
Configuration
There is currently nothing to configure in this plugin, all configuration is done in the Imager X configuration.
Price, license and support
The plugin is released under the MIT license. It requires Imager X, which is a commercial plugin available in the Craft plugin store. If you need help, or found a bug, please post an issue in this repo, or in Imager X' repo.
