get-image-data

get-image-data is a browser/server utility that extracts RGBA data from images. It also provides the image’s height and width.

Install

$ npm install get-image-data

Usage

Browser & Server

var image = require('get-image-data')

image('./image.jpg', function(error, info) {
  var height = info.height
  var width = info.width
  var data = info.data

  for (var i = 0, l = data.length, i < l; i += 4) {
    var red = data[i]
    var green = data[i + 1]
    var blue = data[i + 2]
    var alpha = data[i + 3]  
  }
})

Note

The image data will be contained within either a Uint8ClampedArray or a CanvasPixelArray depending on the environment. This shouldn’t be a problem, but it’s worth knowing.
