Media-Bundle

Easy way to generate new media with specified size, totally out of the box.

Example:

At the frontend layer when we want to display our user image with dimensions (w: 120, h: 90) based on orginal size (1920x1080), user will wait too long.

Instead of uploading new resized image, we can specified for already existing image, new size - and new file will be generated.

Big adventage of this solution is that image with new size will be lazy loaded after first request - so we will not lose disk space if this file is not really needed. We can also delete all generated files and also save disk space.

oryginal file

  /static/oryg/*    <-- here we will have all our media files

Example request:

  /static/oryg/header-symfony-logo.png

-- new sizes

  /static/200x100/header-symfony-logo.png
  /static/120x50/header-symfony-logo.png

When we want to have new image with saving ratio scale:

  /static/0x100/header-symfony-logo.png  // width will by auto resized
  /static/100x0/header-symfony-logo.png  // height will by auto resized
