Image processing API

Sidenote

This project is taken from an idea of the Udacity Full Stack JavaScript Nanodegree but done outside of it due to hearing about it from a friend

In general this is my first project with TypeScript and should serve as an API to take images and create resized thumbnail versions of them, simple and dirty. Just take advantage if my code is of any help to you.

Functionality

• API will create a thumbnail version of an already existing full size image
• If the thumbnail already exist - for example from a previous try - it simply puts out the already existing thumbnail -> no new resizing
• height and width can be given with the query as parameters
• the resized thumbnail can also be given to the client for additional usecases
• also an endpoint is given to show the available full images

API reference

Parameter	Type	Description
filename	string	Required - filename of the full image to be resized
width	number	Required - final width
height	number	Required - final height
