Automatically Generate Thumbnails
This sample demonstrates how to automatically generate thumbnails for each images that are uploaded to Firebase Storage.
Functions Code
See file functions/index.js for the thumbnail generation code.
The thumbnail generation is performed using ImagMagick which is installed by default on all Cloud Functions instances. This is a CLI so we execute the command from node using the child-process-promise package. The image is first downloaded locally from the Firebase Storage bucket to the tmp
folder using the google-cloud SDK.
The dependencies are listed in functions/package.json.
Trigger rules
The function triggers on upload of any file to your Firebase project's default Cloud Storage bucket.
Deploy and test
To deploy and test the sample:
- Create a Firebase project on the Firebase Console and visit the Storage tab.
- Clone this repo:
git clone https://github.com/firebase/functions-samples
. - Open this sample's directory:
cd functions-samples/generate-thumbnail
- Setup your project by running
firebase use --add
and select the project you had created. - Install dependencies in the functions directory:
cd functions; npm install; cd -
- Deploy your project using
firebase deploy
- Go to the Firebase Console Storage tab and upload an image. After a short time an thumbnail image with the same name but a
thumb_
prefix will be created in the same folder (make sure you refresh the UI to see the new file).
