Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require imsus/laravel-imgproxy

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="imgproxy-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    'endpoint' => env('IMGPROXY_ENDPOINT', 'http://localhost:8080'),
    'key' => env('IMGPROXY_KEY'),
    'salt' => env('IMGPROXY_SALT'),
    'default_source_url_mode' => env('IMGPROXY_DEFAULT_SOURCE_URL_MODE', 'encoded'),
    'default_output_extension' => env('IMGPROXY_DEFAULT_OUTPUT_EXTENSION', 'jpeg'),
];

Configuration

You can configure the package by updating the values in your .env file:

IMGPROXY_ENDPOINT=http://localhost:8080
IMGPROXY_KEY=your_hex_key_here
IMGPROXY_SALT=your_hex_salt_here
IMGPROXY_DEFAULT_SOURCE_URL_MODE=encoded
IMGPROXY_DEFAULT_OUTPUT_EXTENSION=jpeg

Note

The key and salt are required only if you want to generate signed URLs. If you don't want to generate signed URLs, you can leave them empty.

Caution

The key and salt should be in hex-encoded format. Generate them using: openssl rand -hex 32

Error Handling

The package includes comprehensive validation and will throw InvalidArgumentException for invalid parameters:

try {
    $url = imgproxy('invalid-url')
        ->setQuality(150)  // Invalid: > 100
        ->build();
} catch (InvalidArgumentException $e) {
    // Handle validation error
    echo $e->getMessage(); // "Quality must be between 0 and 100"
}

For invalid URLs, the package gracefully returns the original URL instead of throwing an exception.

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

Problem: Getting "insecure" URLs instead of signed URLs

http://localhost:8080/insecure/width:300/height:200/...

Solution: Ensure IMGPROXY_KEY and IMGPROXY_SALT are set in your .env file with valid hex values.

Problem: Invalid hex key/salt errors

InvalidArgumentException: The key must be a hex-encoded string.

Solution: Generate proper hex keys:

# Generate 32-byte hex key and salt
openssl rand -hex 32

Problem: Images not loading/404 errors Solutions:

Verify ImgProxy server is running at the configured endpoint
Check source image URLs are accessible
Ensure ImgProxy server can reach source URLs (firewall/network issues)

Problem: Poor image quality
Solutions:

Increase quality setting: ->setQuality(90)
Use appropriate output format: ->setExtension(OutputExtension::WEBP)
Avoid excessive sharpening: ->setSharpen(1.0) instead of higher values

Debug Mode

Enable plain URL mode for debugging:

$debugUrl = imgproxy('https://example.com/image.jpg')
    ->setMode(SourceUrlMode::PLAIN)
    ->setWidth(300)
    ->build();

echo $debugUrl;
// Output: http://localhost:8080/signature/width:300/plain/https://example.com/image.jpg@jpg

Advanced Usage & Patterns

Performance Optimization

Choose optimal quality settings based on image use case:

// Thumbnails - prioritize small file size
$thumbnail = imgproxy($image)
    ->setWidth(150)
    ->setHeight(150)
    ->setQuality(60)
    ->setExtension(OutputExtension::WEBP)
    ->build();

// Hero images - balance quality and size
$hero = imgproxy($image)
    ->setWidth(1920)
    ->setHeight(1080)
    ->setQuality(85)
    ->setExtension(OutputExtension::WEBP)
    ->build();

// Product images - prioritize quality
$product = imgproxy($image)
    ->setWidth(800)
    ->setHeight(600)
    ->setQuality(95)
    ->setSharpen(0.5)
    ->build();

Format Selection Strategy

// Modern browsers - use AVIF for best compression
$avifUrl = imgproxy($image)
    ->setExtension(OutputExtension::AVIF)
    ->setQuality(75)  // AVIF allows lower quality with better visual results
    ->build();

// Fallback for older browsers - use WebP
$webpUrl = imgproxy($image)
    ->setExtension(OutputExtension::WEBP)
    ->setQuality(85)
    ->build();

// Universal fallback - use JPEG
$jpegUrl = imgproxy($image)
    ->setExtension(OutputExtension::JPEG)
    ->setQuality(90)
    ->build();

Laravel Integration

Blade Directives

Create custom Blade directives for common use cases:

// In AppServiceProvider::boot()
use Illuminate\Support\Facades\Blade;

Blade::directive('imgproxy', function ($expression) {
    return "<?php echo imgproxy($expression)->build(); ?>";
});

Blade::directive('avatar', function ($expression) {
    return "<?php echo imgproxy($expression)->setWidth(150)->setHeight(150)->setResizeType(\Imsus\ImgProxy\Enums\ResizeType::FILL)->build(); ?>";
});

{{-- Usage in Blade templates --}}
<img src="@imgproxy($product->image)" alt="Product">
<img src="@avatar($user->avatar)" alt="User Avatar">

Eloquent Accessors

Add image processing to Eloquent models:

class User extends Model
{
    public function getAvatarUrlAttribute(): string
    {
        if (!$this->avatar) {
            return '/default-avatar.png';
        }

        return imgproxy($this->avatar)
            ->setWidth(150)
            ->setHeight(150)
            ->setResizeType(ResizeType::FILL)
            ->setExtension(OutputExtension::WEBP)
            ->setQuality(85)
            ->build();
    }
}

API Resources

Use in API resources for consistent image URLs:

class UserResource extends JsonResource
{
    public function toArray($request)
    {
        return [
            'id' => $this->id,
            'name' => $this->name,
            'avatar' => [
                'small' => imgproxy($this->avatar)->setWidth(50)->setHeight(50)->build(),
                'medium' => imgproxy($this->avatar)->setWidth(150)->setHeight(150)->build(),
                'large' => imgproxy($this->avatar)->setWidth(300)->setHeight(300)->build(),
            ],
        ];
    }
}

Common Patterns

Avatar Processing

class UserAvatar
{
    public static function generate(string $imageUrl, int $size = 150): string
    {
        return imgproxy($imageUrl)
            ->setWidth($size)
            ->setHeight($size)
            ->setResizeType(ResizeType::FILL)
            ->setExtension(OutputExtension::WEBP)
            ->setQuality(85)
            ->setSharpen(0.5)
            ->build();
    }
}

// Usage
$avatarUrl = UserAvatar::generate($user->profile_image, 200);

Responsive Images

Generate multiple image sizes for responsive images:

class ResponsiveImage
{
    public static function generateSrcset(string $imageUrl, array $sizes): array
    {
        $srcset = [];

        foreach ($sizes as $width) {
            $url = imgproxy($imageUrl)
                ->setWidth($width)
                ->setHeight(intval($width * 0.75)) // 4:3 aspect ratio
                ->setResizeType(ResizeType::FILL)
                ->setExtension(OutputExtension::WEBP)
                ->setQuality(85)
                ->build();

            $srcset[] = "{$url} {$width}w";
        }

        return $srcset;
    }
}

// Usage
$sizes = [400, 800, 1200, 1600];
$srcset = ResponsiveImage::generateSrcset($image, $sizes);
$srcsetString = implode(', ', $srcset);

<img src="{{ imgproxy($image)->setWidth(800)->build() }}"
     srcset="{{ $srcsetString }}"
     sizes="(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 50vw"
     alt="Responsive image">

Image Processing Recipes

Photo Enhancement

// Portrait enhancement
$enhancedPortrait = imgproxy($portrait)
    ->setWidth(600)
    ->setHeight(800)
    ->setResizeType(ResizeType::FILL)
    ->setBrightness(8)       // Slightly brighter
    ->setContrast(1.1)       // Enhanced contrast
    ->setSaturation(1.05)    // Subtle saturation boost
    ->setSharpen(0.8)        // Gentle sharpening
    ->setQuality(92)
    ->build();

// High contrast black and white
$highContrastBW = imgproxy($image)
    ->setWidth(800)
    ->setHeight(600)
    ->setSaturation(0)       // Remove all color
    ->setContrast(1.5)       // High contrast
    ->setBrightness(-5)      // Slightly darker
    ->setSharpen(2.0)        // Sharp details
    ->build();

E-commerce Optimization

// Clean product photos
$productClean = imgproxy($product)
    ->setWidth(800)
    ->setHeight(800)
    ->setResizeType(ResizeType::FIT)
    ->setBrightness(15)      // Bright and clean
    ->setContrast(1.1)       // Good contrast
    ->setSharpen(1.5)        // Sharp product details
    ->setQuality(95)         // High quality for products
    ->setExtension(OutputExtension::WEBP)
    ->build();

Security Best Practices

Environment Configuration

# Use strong, unique keys
IMGPROXY_KEY=$(openssl rand -hex 32)
IMGPROXY_SALT=$(openssl rand -hex 32)

# Use HTTPS in production
IMGPROXY_ENDPOINT=https://imgproxy.yoursite.com

# Consider using encoded mode for security
IMGPROXY_DEFAULT_SOURCE_URL_MODE=encoded

URL Validation

Always validate source URLs before processing:

class ImageProcessor
{
    private array $allowedDomains = [
        'your-cdn.com',
        'storage.googleapis.com',
        's3.amazonaws.com',
    ];

    public function processImage(string $imageUrl): string
    {
        $parsedUrl = parse_url($imageUrl);

        if (!in_array($parsedUrl['host'], $this->allowedDomains)) {
            throw new InvalidArgumentException('Image domain not allowed');
        }

        return imgproxy($imageUrl)
            ->setWidth(800)
            ->setHeight(600)
            ->setQuality(85)
            ->build();
    }
}
