#ImageFiles for Orion
This package give's an image cache for images originating from remote sites, aswell as the option to resize them on the fly. All images are stored in the MongoDB database (GridFS), and only retrieved from the remote site if the image does not exist in the database.
##To Install
meteor add jorisroling:orion-imagefile
##Extra
meteor add twbs:bootstrap
meteor add orionjs:bootstrap
meteor add iron:router
The UI (in OrionJS) is depending on the Bootstrap CSS framework, so make sure you use one (of your choice). Further, OrionJS needs to know we want bootstrap, and a router of choice needs to be installed.
##Use with remote URL
By adressing your own server with the path '/image?url=' For example:
<img src="/image?url=https://goo.gl/tYtM9F"
Mind you, you should make sure the URL passed is properly url encoded. Use encodeURIComponent() for this.
So the above example should probably read
<img src="/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fgoo.gl%2FtYtM9F"
As an bonus you could resize the image on the fly by using the extra parameter 'derivate' with values like 'resize' or 'thumbnail'. See the easyimage packages for all possible values and options. An example would be:
##Use with Orion images By using the URL scheme '/images/orion/<fileId>', the Orion image will be cached and fetched. This gets more interesting if you use it with the added option to resize the orion image by using the scheme '/image/orion/<fileId>/resize/<width>[/<height>]'.
