NAME

Data::Validate::Image - Validates an image and returns basic info

SYNOPSIS

my $validator = Data::Validate::Image->new();
my $image_info = $validator->validate( '/path/to/image' );
if ( defined( $image_info ) ){
#valid image, do things here
} else {
#invalid image
}

DESCRIPTION

A simple image validator class, which provides a single validate method that upon success returns a hash ref of image properties:

{
'width' => 'image width',
'height' => 'image height',
'size' => 'image filesize (KB)',
'mime' => 'image mime type',
'file_ext' => '*correct* file extenstion',
'frames' => 'frame count', # requires convert from ImageMagick
'animated' => 1 || 0, # requires convert from ImageMagick
}

For invalid images the validate method returns undef.

IMPORTANT

REQUIRES convert (from ImageMagick) to detect the frames and animated properties.

I used convert over PerlMagick because I found PerlMagick to be very unstable.

METHODS

validate

Returns image properties for valid image or C<undef> for invalid image
