# IIIF URL

Create and parse IIIF Image API URLs

![travis build status](https://travis-ci.org/NCSU-Libraries/iiif_url.svg?branch=master)

## Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

```ruby
gem 'iiif_url'
```

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install iiif_url

## Usage

Here's the simplest case of creating a IIIF URL with all params. By default only the path is given without the scheme, server, port, or IIIF prefix.

```ruby
iiif_base_url = "http://example.edu/prefix"
params = {
identifier: 'abc',
region: 'full',
size: 'full',
rotation: 0,
quality: 'default',
format: 'jpg'
}
url = IiifUrl.from_params(params)
# => "/abc/full/full/0/default.jpg"
full_url = File.join(iiif_base_url, url)
# => "http://example.edu/prefix/full/full/0/default.jpg"
```

If the base URL is set then it will form a full URL automatically:

```ruby
IiifUrl.set_base_url("http://example.edu/prefix")
params = {
identifier: 'abc',
region: 'full',
size: 'full',
rotation: 0,
quality: 'default',
format: 'jpg'
}
url = IiifUrl.from_params(params)
# => "http://example.edu/prefix/abc/full/full/0/default.jpg"
```

You can also pass in the base URL in with the params, which will override any value set for the base URL.

```ruby
IiifUrl.set_base_url("http://example.edu/prefix")
params = {
identifier: 'abc',
base_url: "http://example.org",
region: 'full',
size: 'full',
rotation: 0,
quality: 'default',
format: 'jpg'
}
url = IiifUrl.from_params(params)
# => "http://example.org/abc/full/full/0/default.jpg"
```

If the base URL is set you can prevent it being used and just return the path portion by setting the `base_url` option key to `false`:

```ruby
IiifUrl.set_base_url("http://example.edu/prefix")
params = {
identifier: 'abc',
base_url: false,
region: 'full',
size: 'full',
rotation: 0,
quality: 'default',
format: 'jpg'
}
url = IiifUrl.from_params(params)
# => "/abc/full/full/0/default.jpg"
```

A more complicated region and size:

```ruby
params = {
identifier: 'abc',
region: {
x: 0,
y: 0,
w: 1000,
h: 1200
},
size: {w: 300},
rotation: 0,
quality: 'default',
format: 'jpg'
}
url = IiifUrl.from_params(params)
# => "/abc/0,0,1000,1200/300,/0/default.jpg"
```

To use a percent region or percent size, you must prefix the keys like this:

```ruby
params = {
identifier: 'abc',
region: {
pctx: 10,
pcty: 10,
pctw: 80,
pcth: 80
},
size: {pct: 50}
}
url = IiifUrl.from_params(params)
# => "/abc/pct:10,10,80,80/pct:50/0/default.jpg"
```

If no identifier is passed in, then only the IIIF URL path will be returned:

```ruby
params = {
size: {pct: 50}
}
url = IiifUrl.from_params(params)
# => "/full/pct:50/0/default.jpg"
```

Even if a base_url is given if there is no identifier, then only the IIIF URL path will be returned:

```ruby
params = {
base_url: "http://example.org/prefix/",
size: {pct: 50}
}
url = IiifUrl.from_params(params)
# => "/full/pct:50/0/default.jpg"
```

## Defaults

You only need to specify values that are different from the defaults. The defaults are as specified:

| parameter | value |
|:-----------|:----------|
| identifier | null |
| region | "full" |
| size | "full" |
| rotation | "0" |
| quality | "default" |
| format | "jpg" |

```ruby
params = {
identifier: 'abc',
size: {w: 600}
}
url = IiifUrl.from_params(params)
# => "/abc/full/600,/0/default.jpg"
```

And without an identifier:

```ruby
params = {
size: {w: 600}
}
url = IiifUrl.from_params(params)
# => "/full/600,/0/default.jpg"
```

## Chainable

There may be cases where you do not have all of the params you need so you want to pass around a IiifUrl to add more params.

```ruby
url = IiifUrl.new
url.region({x:100, y:200, w: 300, h: 300})
url.size({w: 150}).format('png')
url.to_s
# => "/100,200,300,300/150,/0/default.png"
```

You can also pass in some initial params and then add on others:

```ruby
url = IiifUrl.new({size: {w: 100}})
url.identifier('abc')
url.format('png')
url.rotation(180)
url.to_s
# => "/abc/full/100,/180/default.png"
```

## Parser

IIIF URLs are parsed by segments including: region, size, rotation, quality, and format. The region and size segments can also be parsed into a string or hash. Rotation is always parsed into a hash. Quality and format are always a string.

Simple case for region and size parsed into strings:

```ruby
params = IiifUrl.parse("/full/full/0/default.png")
# => {region: "full", size: "full", rotation: {degrees: 0, mirror: false}, quality: 'default', format: 'png'}
```

With an identifier:

```ruby
params = IiifUrl.parse("/abc/full/full/0/default.png")
# => {identifier: "abc", region: "full", size: "full", rotation: {degrees: 0, mirror: false}, quality: 'default', format: 'png'}
```

Parameterized region and size:

```ruby
params = IiifUrl.parse("/0,100,200,300/75,/0/default.jpg")
# => {identifier: nil, region: {x:0, y:100, w: 200, h: 300}, size: {w: 75, h: nil}, rotation: {degrees: 0, mirror: false}, quality: "default", format: "jpg" }
```

Parse a full URL:

```ruby
params = IiifUrl.parse("http://example.org/prefix/abc/0,100,200,300/75,/0/default.jpg")
# => {identifier: abc, region: {x:0, y:100, w: 200, h: 300}, size: {w: 75, h: nil}, rotation: {degrees: 0, mirror: false}, quality: "default", format: "jpg" }
```

## Validation

No validation is done for creating or parsing a URL. This allows for extensions to the IIIF Image API.

## Development

After checking out the repo, run `bin/setup` to install dependencies. Then, run `rake test` 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).
