Image transformations

The Image transformations app showcases popular on-the-fly image transformations using the Go SDK, including special effects, resizing, subject-aware cropping with gravity parameters, optimization, and overlays.

Here's what you'll see in the Image transformations app:

    Here's an excerpt from the code featuring the Overlays and Resize_crop functions from files in the custom lib package:

    overlays_ex.go
    Go
    package lib

import(
    "fmt"
    "github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary-go"
)

func Overlays(cld *cloudinary.Cloudinary) string {
    img_coffee, err := cld.Image("docs/sdk/go/coffee_cup")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("error")
    }

    // Add the transformation
    img_coffee.Transformation = "w_400,h_250,c_fill,g_south/l_nice_couple,w_1.3,h_1.3,g_faces,c_crop,fl_region_relative/e_saturation:50/e_vignette/fl_layer_apply,w_100,r_max,g_center,y_20,x_-20/l_balloon,h_55/e_hue:-20,a_5/fl_layer_apply,x_30,y_5/l_text:Cookie_40_bold:Love,co_rgb:f08/a_20,fl_layer_apply,x_-45,y_44/c_crop,w_300,h_250,x_30/r_60"

    // Generate and print the delivery URL
    url, err := img_coffee.String()
    fmt.Println(url)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("error")
    }
    return url
}

    resize_crop_ex.go
    Go
    package lib

import(
    "fmt"
    "github.com/cloudinary/cloudinary-go"
)

func Resize_crop(cld *cloudinary.Cloudinary) string {
    // Instantiate an object that stores information for asset with public ID "black_coat_portrait"
    img_fam, err := cld.Image("docs/sdk/go/family_video")
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("error")
    }

    // Add the transformation
    img_fam.Transformation = "w_350,h_350,c_fill,g_faces"

    // Generate and print the delivery URL
    url, err := img_fam.String()
    fmt.Println(url)
    if err != nil {
        fmt.Println("error")
    }
    return url
}
