image_info

A library to extract base information of the image file:

  • file size;
  • MIME type;
  • dimensions.

To get MIME type uses infer crate. If the file does not have a valid image MIME type, the tree_magic_mini crate is used by fallback to get the real MIME type as infer returns an error if the MIME is not for image (e.g. "plain/text").

To get dimensions uses imagesize crate.

Additional features

Reports error codes and error messages on failure.

Can render result as JSON string (useful for using from other languages as wrapper with binary code calling if the FFI is not an option). If you don't need this feature you can disable it within your Cargo.toml:


[dependencies]
image_info = {version = "0.2.0", default-features = false}

Usage

fn main() {
  let args: Vec<String> = std::env::args().collect();

  let path: &str = match args.get(1) {
    Some(arg) => arg,
    None => {
      println!("No path argument specified");
      std::process::exit(image_info::CODE_BAD_ARGS);
    }
  };

  let info = image_info::process_path(path);
  println!("{:?}", info);
  //InfoResult { mime_type: Some("image/jpeg"), width: Some(1920), height: Some(1280), error_message: None, error_code: 0 }
  //InfoResult { mime_type: Some("text/html"), width: None, height: None, error_message: Some("Error: mime type is not image/*: text/html"), error_code: 2 }

  //if "render" feature is enabled
  println!("{}", info.render());
  //{"mime_type":"image/jpeg","width":7724,"height":5148,"error_message":null,"error_code":0}
  //{"mime_type":"text/html","width":null,"height":null,"error_message":"Error: mime type is not image/*: text/html","error_code":2}
  std::process::exit(info.get_error_code());
}
