As I mentioned, the 2.0 "mosaic update" purpose was to help me generate >32Mb files for my test suite.
While it kinda works, it suffers for terrible, terrible performance, to the point it sometimes fail the test suite because it couldn't manage the mosaic in the 3600000(!)ms timeout I explicitly set for it.. Tests are supposed to be (at least somewhat) quick to run, this is too outrageaous to bear.
That's where the new mode "macrophilia" comes in. It's using sharp, which is a great module with nice interface & performance, to resize the image as much as I need, and returns approximately 100* quicker than mosaic mode.
I'm now swiftly creating 33Mb images using 5742
as height value & thiqq
parameter set to true
, which is perfect for my use case 😸
Mosaic mode still serves the purpose of generating near-infinity different (in a shasum context) images, & stays fun to use with number
in the single digit range, so it'll stay here.
Last but not least, I took the opportunity to refacto the code so it'll be a bit easier to maintain (tbh I've never thought this module would go beyond 1.0). It allowed me to spot the JSDOC being totally broken: it should be fine now.
While I was at it, I noticed how easy it would be to *19 the pool of images using thisanimedoesntexist along TWDNE, so I did that.
This is a "breaking change" in some way (for instance, if you had FW exceptions for TWDNE or relied on images having a fixed width/height), hence the major version upgrade.
Made this a major release because it adds some bloat (jimp + merge-img dependencies).
If you don't need this feature, you better stick to good ol' 1.1.1
Initial pool of images being only 100000, there was a chance to get duplicates.
Also, I needed to be able to generate some FAT files (>32Mb and >64Mb) for my test suite.
This option will generate a mosaic of waifus so the possibilities becomes 100000
* a lot
.
The option.mosaic.number
param is mandatory and must be in the 1-99 range.
The option.mosaic.options
is optional: it enable you to use merge-img option object in case you need it.
With this the possibilities becomes 100000
* a lot
* A LOT
.
I know math, you can twust this number owo. Example output with mosaic.number = 3
:
This module is born out of three things:
- A need of random image generation for imgbb-uploader module
- An urge to make good use of the scientific & civilizational breakthrough that are StyleGAN-generated anime girls
- Fun !
