spescina/timthumb

An image proxy for Laravel

This project is not under development anymore. Check spescina/imgproxy instead

I think that this feature has to be left outside the framework. I don't like that Laravel has to be booted upon each image request., _(*1)

Timthumb

An image proxy for Laravel, _(*2)

Installation

To install Timthumb as a Composer package to be used with Laravel 4, simply add this to your composer.json:, _(*3)

"spescina/timthumb": "1.0.*"

and run composer update., _(*4)

Once it's installed, you have to register the service provider. In app/config/app.php add the following line of code to the providers array:, _(*5)

'Spescina\Timthumb\TimthumbServiceProvider'

If you want in app/config/app.php add the following line of code to the alias array, _(*6)

'Timthumb' => 'Spescina\Timthumb\Facades\Timthumb'

Then, publish the config files with php artisan config:publish spescina/timthumb., _(*7)

Then, publish the asset files with php artisan asset:publish spescina/timthumb., _(*8)

Set 0 width or 0 height to let Timthumb mantain the original image ratio, _(*10)
