# Blurhash
This is a Ruby binding for the Blurhash library. With it you can encode an image as a small string that can be saved in the database, returned in API responses, and displayed as a blurred preview before the real image loads.
Blurhash is written by [Dag Ågren](https://github.com/DagAgren).
## Installation
Add this line to your application's Gemfile:
```ruby
gem 'blurhash'
```
And then execute:
$ bundle
Or install it yourself as:
$ gem install blurhash
## Usage
To generate the blurhash string from an image file, you need to read in the image pixel data yourself, for example with RMagick:
```ruby
require 'blurhash'
require 'rmagick'
image = Magick::ImageList.new('foo.png')
puts Blurhash.encode(image.columns, image.rows, image.export_pixels)
```
To display the visual component once you have the blurhash string, you need another library in JavaScript, Swift, Kotlin and so on. Fore more information, see [the original blurhash repository](https://github.com/woltapp/blurhash).
## Development
After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake spec` to run the tests. You can also run `bin/console` for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
To install this gem onto your local machine, run `bundle exec rake install`. To release a new version, update the version number in `version.rb`, and then run `bundle exec rake release`, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and tags, and push the `.gem` file to [rubygems.org](https://rubygems.org).
