@mayas/cld-api

More friendly API Wrapper for Cloudinary SDK

🧰  Setup

1. Add @mayas/cld-api dependency to your project

npm i @mayas/cld-api

#Or by YARN
yarn add @mayas/cld-api

2. Create an .env file in the root directory with the following details

CLOUDNAME=replace_this_with_your_cloudname
API_KEY=replace_this_with_your_api_key
API_SECRET=replace_this_with_your_api_secret_key
// Any other field

🛑  Remember to add .env to .gitignore to avoid committing and pushing this file to remote repo by accident.

3. Start using 😃

CldApi

const { CldApi } = require('@mayas/cld-api');

const instance = new CldApi({
  cloudName: process.env.CLOUDNAME,
  apiKey: process.env.API_KEY,
  apiSecret: process.env.API_SECRET,  
  /* other Cloudinary options */
})

This is the class wrapper for basic Cloudinary APIs, which provides the following methods or fields:

CldApi.image

Instance that contains the functionalities for images

• CldApi.image.url(publicId, options?)

  • publicId : String - required The path to stored asset in Cloudinary. See here to know how to get publicId.
  • options : Object - Optional transformations or configurations to apply to the target asset.

  Returns a delivery url String for an asset from Cloudinary based on publicId and with transformations passed to options.

  // get delivery url for an asset "sample" on scaled size 500x500
  const url = instance.image
                .url('sample', {
                  crop: 'scale',
                  width: '500',
                  height: '500'
                })

• CldApi.image.fetchRemote(url, options?)

  • url : String - required - Valid URL path to an image.
  • options : Object - Additional effects/transformations to apply to the original image on delivery.

  Returns a Cloudinary delivery url String for the requested image.

  const url = instance.image
                .fetchRemote(
                  'https://icatcare.org/app/uploads/2018/07/Thinking-of-getting-a-cat.png',
                  { crop: 'scale', width: 200 })

  • publicId
    • Type: String
    • required
    • Path to original video stored in Cloudinary. See here to know how to get publicId.

  Returns the delivery URL of an video based on its publicId and options for additional effects/transformations to apply to the original version stored in Cloudinary.

  // get delivery url for an asset "sample" on scaled size 500x500
  const url = instance.image
                .url('sample', {
                  crop: 'scale',
                  width: '500',

  • required
  • Path to the target asset file for uploading
• options
  • Type: Object
  • Configuration options to apply to the target asset during uploading to Cloudinary.
• Returns a Promise<Asset | Error>

Tip: Check out Asset API to understand the structure of the uploaded asset returned from Cloudinary.

const instance = this.$cloudinary
                .upload('my-target-file-path', {
                  public_id: 'Example'
                })

CldApi.resources(options)

• options
  • Type: Object

Find and returns the assets stored in Cloudinary based on the options sent. Some options are presented below:

const instance = this.$cloudinary
                .resources({
                  type: "upload",
                  prefix: 'examples',
                  max_results: 50
                })

CldApi.resource(publicId, options?)

• publicId
  • Type: String
  • required
  • Path to the original asset stored in Cloudinary.
• options
  • Type: Object
  • options.type is required.

Tip: See Cloudinary delivery types for full list of available values.

const instance = this.$cloudinary
                .resource('my-target-public-id', {
                  type: 'upload'
                })

CldApi.config(options?)

                })

console.log(updateConfig) //{ cloud_name: 'your-new-cloud-name' }

CONSTANTS

const { CONSTANTS } = require('@mayas/cld-api')
