Catalyst::Controller::Imager

generate scaled or mangled images by allowing verbose URIs.

A typical URI looks like

http://yoursite.tld/image/ <modifier> / path/to/image.ext

where modifier can be a simple rule like

• h-42

  if you like to get the image scaled to 42 px

• w-200

  for width scaling

• h-200-w-200

  if both is wanted

• thumbnail

  to get a thumbnail image of configurable size

• foo

  choose names you like and define what should happen behind the curtain

• thumbnail-blur-9

  any combination of rules and parameters is allowed

Every image is calculated on-the-fly and optionally cached for faster access next time.
