[![Build Status](https://img.shields.io/travis/nodeca/probe-image-size/master.svg?style=flat)](https://travis-ci.org/nodeca/probe-image-size)
[![NPM version](https://img.shields.io/npm/v/probe-image-size.svg?style=flat)](https://www.npmjs.org/package/probe-image-size)
[![Coverage Status](https://coveralls.io/repos/github/nodeca/probe-image-size/badge.svg?branch=master)](https://coveralls.io/github/nodeca/probe-image-size?branch=master)

> Get image size without full download. Supported image types:
> JPG, GIF, PNG, WebP, BMP, TIFF, SVG, PSD.

Key features:

- small size, no heavy dependencies
- works with remote and local data
- effective with big images (speed/memory), download minimal data from remotes
- easy to browserify (splitted to components)


Install
-------

```bash
npm install probe-image-size --save
```

Example
-------

```js
var probe = require('probe-image-size');

// Get by URL
//
probe('http://example.com/image.jpg').then(result => {
  console.log(result); // =>
  /*
    {
      width: xx,
      height: yy,
      type: 'jpg',
      mime: 'image/jpeg',
      wUnits: 'px',
      hUnits: 'px',
      url: 'http://example.com/image.jpg'
    }
  */
});

// By URL with options
//
probe('http://example.com/image.jpg', { timeout: 5000 }).then(function (result) {
  console.log(result);
});

// With callback
//
probe('http://example.com/image.jpg', function (err, result) {
  console.log(result);
});

// From the stream
//
var input = require('fs').createReadStream('image.jpg');

probe(input).then(result => {
  console.log(result);

  // terminate input, depends on stream type,
  // this example is for fs streams only.
  input.destroy();
});

// From a Buffer
//
var data = require('fs').readFileSync('image.jpg');

console.log(probe.sync(data));
```


API
---

### probe(src [, options, callback]) -> Promise

`src` can be of this types:

- __String__ - URL to fetch
- __Stream__ - readable stream

`options` - HTTP only. See [`got` documentation](https://github.com/sindresorhus/got).
Defaults changed to `{ retries: 1, timeout: 30000 }`

`result` (Promise) contains:

```js
{
  width: XX,
  height: YY,
  length: ZZ, // byte length of the file (if available, HTTP only)
  type: ..., // image 'type' (usual file name extention)
  mime: ...,  // mime type
  wUnits: 'px', // width units type ('px' by default, can be different for SVG)
  hUnits: 'px', // height units type ('px' by default, can be different for SVG)
  url: ..., // last url for the image in chain of redirects (if no redirects, same as src) (HTTP only)
}
```

Returned errors can be extended with 2 fields:

- `code` - equals to `ECONTENT` if the library failed to parse the file;
- `status` - equals to a HTTP status code if it receives a non-200 response.

If callback (legacy node style) provided, `Promise` will not be returned.

__Note 1.__ If you use `Stream` as source, it's your responsibility to close that
stream in callback. In other case you can get memory leak, because stream will
be left in paused state. With http requests that's not a problem - everything
is released automatically, as soon as possible.

__Note 2.__ We still support legacy v2.x signature for http probe (`src` is
Object as described in [request](https://github.com/request/request)). But it
will be deprecated in next versions.


### sync.probe(src) -> result|null

Sync version can eat arrays, typed arrays and buffers. On success it returns
the same result as async version. On fail it returns null.

__Note.__ Formats like JPEG & TIFF can store size anywhere (far from the head).
That usually does not happens, but if you need guarantees - always provide full
file content to sync methods. We strongly recommend to use async version
as memory-friendly.
