Image Compression with Golang

• bimg

  3 1,765 3.8 Go

  Go package for fast high-level image processing powered by libvips C library

  For image processing, I will use the bimg library because in my opinion it has a very intuitive API and is easy to use, in addition to being very fast.

• uuid

  8 3,280 2.9 Go

  Go package for UUIDs based on RFC 4122 and DCE 1.1: Authentication and Security Services. (by google)

  

  Another library I'm going to use is google/uuid, because I'm going to want to rename the image that we uploaded, in order to ensure that its name is unique.

  Postman helps you be more efficient while working with APIs. Using Postman, you can construct complex HTTP requests quickly, organize them in collections and share them with your co-workers.

  

  Now when we test our API using a tool similar to Postman you should get a result similar to this:

• libvips

  9 6,193 9.5 C

  A fast image processing library with low memory needs.

  

  However, this article has only one prerequisite, which is the installation of libvips, otherwise it will not be possible to process the images. If you happen to have Homebrew installed on your computer, the process is simpler.

• Fiber

  42 17,700 9.2 Go

  ⚡️ Express inspired web framework written in Go

  

  The framework I chose to create today's Api was Fiber, if you're used to working with Express, Koa or Fastify you'll feel at home.

• HomeBrew

  471 30,578 10.0 Ruby

  🍺 The missing package manager for macOS (or Linux)
