Image resizing using Node.js Stream and Sharp - Cloud Storage trigger

This sample demonstrates how to use Node.js Stream to read image from Cloud Storage, generate a thumbnail image using Sharp and upload it back to Cloud Storage. This is a alternative approach for using ImageMagick, see generate-thumbnail.

Functions Code

See file functions/index.js for the thumbnail generation code.

The thumbnail generation is performed using Sharp. Download, resize input/output and upload uses Node.js Stream

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:

1. Create a Firebase project on the Firebase Console.
2. Get the code, for instance using git clone https://github.com/firebase/functions-samples
3. Enter the correct directory cd functions-samples/image-sharp
4. If you do not have it yet, install the Firebase CLI npm install -g firebase-tools
5. Setup the CLI to use your Firebase project using firebase use --add and select your Firebase project
6. Deploy your project's code using firebase deploy
7. Go to the Firebase Console Storage tab and upload an image. After a short time a 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).
