## README

# Assets.js via Buffer

A fork of [assets-lib](https://assets-lib.glitch.me/) that uses Buffers instead of redirects to display images at local addresses.

**This utility is made for [glitch.com](https://glitch.com) projects, and shouldn't be used anywhere else**

### In a nutshell

The standard Assets.js automatically redirects your web browser to the actual asset URL when it requested the asset for a website/etc<br>
However, with assets-buffer, the asset is sent over in the body of the response.

### What this means

Navigating to [/assets/foobar.png](https://assets-lib.glitch.me/assets/foobar.png) on the old system redirects you to [https://cdn.hyperdev.com/us-east-1%3A1a0f89c8-26bf-4073-baed-2b409695e959%2Ffoobar.png](https://cdn.hyperdev.com/us-east-1%3A1a0f89c8-26bf-4073-baed-2b409695e959%2Ffoobar.png)<br>
Whereas navigating to [/assets/foobar.png](https://assets-buffer.glitch.me/assets/foobar.png) displays the same image without redirecting you.

## Getting Started

### Install:
Local) Just copy and paste the contents of [assets-buffer.js](https://glitch.com/edit/#!/assets-buffer?path=assets-buffer.js:1:0) into your Glitch project. **Express is required to be installed for assets-buffer.js to work**

NPM) Add this line to your package.json:

```json
{
  "dependencies": {
    "glitch-assets-buffer": "^1.1.2"
  }
}
```

### Example usage:
Then reference that file as follows:
```javascript
// LOCAL
var assets = require("./assets-buffer.js");

// NPM
var assets = require("glitch-assets-buffer");

var express = require("express");

var app = express();
app.use("/assets", assets);
```
