Features​

  • Dynamic image generation
  • Integration with storage solutions
  • Optimized handling for high-resolution images

Installation Instructions​

To install the plugin, use the following command:

bun install plugin-image-generation

Configuration Requirements​

Environment Variables​

Ensure the following environment variables are set:

Variable NameDescription
IMAGE_STORAGE_BUCKETName of the storage bucket.

import { generateImage } from 'plugin-image-generation';

const image = await generateImage({
  width: 800,
  height: 600,
  backgroundColor: '#ffffff',
  text: 'Hello World',
  font: 'Arial',
});

console.log('Generated Image:', image);

Upload to Storage​

The plugin supports direct integration with storage solutions for uploading images.

import { uploadImage } from 'plugin-image-generation';

const uploadResult = await uploadImage({
  imagePath: 'path/to/image.png',
  bucketName: 'my-storage-bucket',
});

console.log('Image uploaded successfully:', uploadResult);
