## Demo
[JavaScript Load Image Demo](https://blueimp.github.io/JavaScript-Load-Image/)
## Description
JavaScript Load Image is a library to load images provided as File or Blob
objects or via URL.  
It returns an optionally scaled and/or cropped HTML img or canvas element via an
asynchronous callback.  
It also provides a method to parse image meta data to extract Exif tags and
thumbnails and to restore the complete image header after resizing.
## Setup
Include the (combined and minified) JavaScript Load Image script in your HTML
markup:
```html
<script src="js/load-image.all.min.js"></script>
```
Or alternatively, choose which components you want to include:
```html
<script src="js/load-image.js"></script>
<script src="js/load-image-orientation.js"></script>
<script src="js/load-image-meta.js"></script>
<script src="js/load-image-exif.js"></script>
<script src="js/load-image-exif-map.js"></script>
```
## Usage
### Image loading
In your application code, use the **loadImage()** function like this:
```js
document.getElementById('file-input').onchange = function (e) {
    loadImage(
        e.target.files[0],
        function (img) {
            document.body.appendChild(img);
        },
        {maxWidth: 600} // Options
    );
};
```
### Image scaling
It is also possible to use the image scaling functionality with an existing
image:
```js
var scaledImage = loadImage.scale(
    img, // img or canvas element
    {maxWidth: 600}
);
```
## Requirements
The JavaScript Load Image library has zero dependencies.
However, JavaScript Load Image is a very suitable complement to the
[Canvas to Blob](https://github.com/blueimp/JavaScript-Canvas-to-Blob) library.
## API
The **loadImage()** function accepts a
[File](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/File) or
[Blob](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Blob) object or a simple image URL
(e.g. `'https://example.org/image.png'`) as first argument.
If a [File](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/File) or
[Blob](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/Blob) is passed as parameter, it
returns a HTML **img** element if the browser supports the
[URL](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.URL) API or a
[FileReader](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/FileReader) object if
supported, or **false**.  
It always returns a HTML
[img](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/HTML/Element/Img) element when
passing an image URL:
```js
document.getElementById('file-input').onchange = function (e) {
    var loadingImage = loadImage(
        e.target.files[0],
        function (img) {
            document.body.appendChild(img);
        },
        {maxWidth: 600}
    );
    if (!loadingImage) {
        // Alternative code ...
    }
};
```
The **img** element or
[FileReader](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/FileReader) object returned by
the **loadImage()** function allows to abort the loading process by setting the
**onload** and **onerror** event handlers to null:
```js
document.getElementById('file-input').onchange = function (e) {
    var loadingImage = loadImage(
        e.target.files[0],
        function (img) {
            document.body.appendChild(img);
        },
        {maxWidth: 600}
    );
    loadingImage.onload = loadingImage.onerror = null;
};
```
The second argument must be a **callback** function, which is called when the
image has been loaded or an error occurred while loading the image. The callback
function is passed one argument, which is either a HTML **img** element, a
[canvas](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Canvas) element, or an
[Event](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/event) object of type **error**:
```js
var imageUrl = "https://example.org/image.png";
loadImage(
    imageUrl,
    function (img) {
        if(img.type === "error") {
            console.log("Error loading image " + imageUrl);
        } else {
            document.body.appendChild(img);
        }
    },
    {maxWidth: 600}
);
```
## Options
The optional third argument to **loadImage()** is a map of options:
* **maxWidth**: Defines the maximum width of the img/canvas element.
* **maxHeight**: Defines the maximum height of the img/canvas element.
* **minWidth**: Defines the minimum width of the img/canvas element.
* **minHeight**: Defines the minimum height of the img/canvas element.
* **sourceWidth**: The width of the sub-rectangle of the source image to draw
into the destination canvas.  
Defaults to the source image width and requires `canvas: true`.
* **sourceHeight**: The height of the sub-rectangle of the source image to draw
into the destination canvas.  
Defaults to the source image height and requires `canvas: true`.
* **top**: The top margin of the sub-rectangle of the source image.  
Defaults to `0` and requires `canvas: true`.
* **right**: The right margin of the sub-rectangle of the source image.  
Defaults to `0` and requires `canvas: true`.
* **bottom**: The bottom margin of the sub-rectangle of the source image.  
Defaults to `0` and requires `canvas: true`.
* **left**: The left margin of the sub-rectangle of the source image.  
Defaults to `0` and requires `canvas: true`.
* **contain**: Scales the image up/down to contain it in the max dimensions if
set to `true`.  
This emulates the CSS feature
[background-image: contain](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Scaling_background_images#contain).
* **cover**: Scales the image up/down to cover the max dimensions with the image
dimensions if set to `true`.  
This emulates the CSS feature
[background-image: cover](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/Guide/CSS/Scaling_background_images#cover).
* **aspectRatio**: Crops the image to the given aspect ratio (e.g. `16/9`).  
Setting the `aspectRatio` also enables the `crop` option.
* **pixelRatio**: Defines the ratio of the canvas pixels to the physical image
pixels on the screen.  
Should be set to `window.devicePixelRatio` unless the scaled image is not
rendered on screen.  
Defaults to `1` and requires `canvas: true`.
* **downsamplingRatio**: Defines the ratio in which the image is downsampled.  
By default, images are downsampled in one step. With a ratio of `0.5`, each step
scales the image to half the size, before reaching the target dimensions.  
Requires `canvas: true`.
* **crop**: Crops the image to the maxWidth/maxHeight constraints if set to
`true`.  
Enabling the `crop` option also enables the `canvas` option.
* **orientation**: Allows to transform the canvas coordinates according to the
EXIF orientation specification.  
Setting the `orientation` also enables the `canvas` option.
* **canvas**: Returns the image as
[canvas](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/HTML/Canvas) element if set to `true`.
* **crossOrigin**: Sets the crossOrigin property on the img element for loading
[CORS enabled images](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/HTML/CORS_Enabled_Image).
* **noRevoke**: By default, the
[created object URL](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/DOM/window.URL.createObjectURL)
is revoked after the image has been loaded, except when this option is set to
`true`.
They can be used the following way:
```js
loadImage(
    fileOrBlobOrUrl,
    function (img) {
        document.body.appendChild(img);
    },
    {
        maxWidth: 600,
        maxHeight: 300,
        minWidth: 100,
        minHeight: 50,
        canvas: true
    }
);
```
All settings are optional. By default, the image is returned as HTML **img**
element without any image size restrictions.
## Meta data parsing
If the Load Image Meta extension is included, it is also possible to parse image
meta data.  
The extension provides the method **loadImage.parseMetaData**, which can be used
the following way:
```js
loadImage.parseMetaData(
    fileOrBlob,
    function (data) {
        if (!data.imageHead) {
            return;
        }
        // Combine data.imageHead with the image body of a resized file
        // to create scaled images with the original image meta data, e.g.:
        var blob = new Blob([
            data.imageHead,
            // Resized images always have a head size of 20 bytes,
            // including the JPEG marker and a minimal JFIF header:
            loadImage.blobSlice.call(resizedImage, 20)
        ], {type: resizedImage.type});
    },
    {
        maxMetaDataSize: 262144,
        disableImageHead: false
    }
);
```
The third argument is an options object which defines the maximum number of
bytes to parse for the image meta data, allows to disable the imageHead creation
and is also passed along to segment parsers registered via loadImage extensions,
e.g. the Exif parser.
**Note:**  
Blob objects of resized images can be created via
[canvas.toBlob()](https://github.com/blueimp/JavaScript-Canvas-to-Blob).
### Exif parser
If you include the Load Image Exif Parser extension, the **parseMetaData**
callback **data** contains the additional property **exif** if Exif data could
be found in the given image.  
The **exif** object stores the parsed Exif tags:
```js
var orientation = data.exif[0x0112];
```
It also provides an **exif.get()** method to retrieve the tag value via the
tag's mapped name:
```js
var orientation = data.exif.get('Orientation');
```
By default, the only available mapped names are **Orientation** and
**Thumbnail**.  
If you also include the Load Image Exif Map library, additional tag mappings
become available, as well as two additional methods, **exif.getText()** and
**exif.getAll()**:
```js
var flashText = data.exif.getText('Flash'); // e.g.: 'Flash fired, auto mode',
// A map of all parsed tags with their mapped names as keys and their text values:
var allTags = data.exif.getAll();
```
The Exif parser also adds additional options for the parseMetaData method, to
disable certain aspects of the parser:
* **disableExif**: Disables Exif parsing.
* **disableExifThumbnail**: Disables parsing of the Exif Thumbnail.
* **disableExifSub**: Disables parsing of the Exif Sub IFD.
* **disableExifGps**: Disables parsing of the Exif GPS Info IFD.
