Introduction

This library allows for cross-browser image downscaling and resizing utilizing <canvas>. The code was part of Ross Turner's HTML5-ImageUploader. Note that this is meant to be a browser-only utility and will not work in Node.js. Adapted from original work to allow manyally setting the exif-orientation for rotation and flipping purposes.

readAndCompressImage(file, config)
  .then(resizedImage => {
    // Upload file to some Web API
    const url = `http://localhost:3001/upload`;
    const formData = new FormData();
    formData.append('images', resizedImage);
    const options = {
      method: 'POST',
