## Àpèjúwe
[Check out the Github Repository ♥](https://github.com/junaidbhura/auto-cloudinary)
This plugin provides a **super simple** [Cloudinary auto-upload](https://cloudinary.com/documentation/fetch_remote_images#auto_upload_remote_resources)
implementation for WordPress.
It is inspired by [Photon](https://developer.wordpress.com/docs/photon/) and [Tachyon](https://github.com/humanmade/tachyon-plugin).
Cloudinary will **automatically fetch and serve the images** from your media library
like a **CDN**, without you having to worry about the complicated upload API! Just
[set up auto-upload](https://github.com/junaidbhura/auto-cloudinary/wiki/Setup)
in your Cloudinary settings, enter the details in the pluginÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s options,
and youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’re all set!
Easy peasy 😎
### Important
This plugin is **incompatible with the official Cloudinary plugin**. YouÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá:’
d need to disable that plugin before using this one.
### Quick Links

### Why did you build this plugin?
There already is an **official Cloudinary plugin** available. But in my opinion,
itÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s a bit of an overkill and takes over the admin UI. This plugin
aims to be:
* **Super simple** and light-weight
* Totally seamless and **out of the way**
* A flexible tool for **WordPress developers**
### What is Cloudinary Auto-Upload?
Cloudinary gives you two options to upload files to itÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s servers:
1. The complicated **Upload API** 😱
2. The super easy and magical **Fetch API** 🎩
#### Upload API
_TL;DR: Too complicated and in the way_ 👎
Cloudinary gives you an API, using which, you can manually upload the images to
Cloudinary. So youÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’d need an **API key**, etc. The **official plugin**
uses this method. When you upload an image to the media library, it in turn, uploads
it to Cloudinary. This could be a problem if you have thousands of **existing images**,
and might not be flexible enough to support **custom architecture**.
#### Fetch API
_TL;DR: Magical_ 👍
This plugin uses the super easy **Auto-Upload** feature in the **Fetch API**. We
just tell Cloudinary where to find the files on our server (or on S3 or anywhere
on the Internet), and it **automatically downloads** it from there and saves it
on to itÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s servers the **first time you ask for it**, like a CDN
would!
### What does this plugin do?
This plugin does two main things:
1. Provides a simple function `cloudinary_url()` to get a Cloudinary auto-upload URL
for any image in your media library, with all the Cloudinary transformations, so
you can **dynamically manipulate an image on the fly**.
2. Attempts to automatically convert all image URLs on the front-end into a Cloudinary
auto-upload URL, so you can **use Cloudinary as an image CDN**.
### The magical function 🎩
**`cloudinary_url( $identifier, $args )`**
This function returns a Cloudinary Auto Upload URL for an image. Please read the
[Best Practices](https://github.com/junaidbhura/auto-cloudinary/wiki/Best-Practices)
page before using this.
#### Parameters
* **identifier** (integer/string)(required) : Either the ID of the attachment,
or a full image URL.
* **args** (array)(optional) : Arguments to manipulate the image.
#### Return Value
Returns a URL (string):
```
'https://res.cloudinary.com/cloud-name/auto-mapping-folder/2017/12/your-image.jpg'
```
#### Arguments
You can optionally send an array of arguments which can transform the image, and
set a dynamic file name. Ex:
```
array(
'transform' => array( // Optional. All transformations go here.
'width' => 300,
'height' => 200,
'crop' => 'fill',
'quality' => '80',
'gravity' => 'face',
),
'file_name' => 'whatever-file-name-you-want', // Optional. If you want to use a dynamic file name for SEO. Don't use the file extension!
);
```
HereÌtumọ̀ Yorùbá: ’s a [full list of transformations](https://cloudinary.com/documentation/image_transformations)
you can achieve with Cloudinary.
### Examples
```
array(
'width' => 300,
'height' => 200,
'crop' => 'fill',
'quality' => '80',
'gravity' => 'face',
),
'file_name' => 'dynamic-file-name',
) );
$url_2 = cloudinary_url( 'https://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/my-image.jpg', array(
'transform' => array(
'width' => 100,
'height' => 100,
),
) );
// $url_1 : https://res.cloudinary.com/cloud-name/images/w_300,h_200,c_fill,q_80,g_face/auto-mapping-folder/2017/12/my-image/dynamic-file-name.jpg
// $url_2 : https://res.cloudinary.com/cloud-name/w_100,h_100/auto-mapping-folder/2017/12/my-image.jpg
?>
