Usage

The plugin extends to the onAfterUpload method of the Image object. Whenever an Image object is uploaded it will optimise the image using the options defined in app.yaml.

There are three keys in the config that are used regardless of the optimisation provider. These are Use, SaveOriginal and OriginalDir.

Use

Use accepts two values Kraken or TinyPNG. The value is used to decide which service to use to optimise the images.

SaveOriginal

SaveOrginal accepts a boolean, if true it will keep the original image - unoptimised - at the directory specified in the OriginalDir key.

OriginalDir

OriginalDir accepts a string representing the path to the directory that the original images should be saved to. This is only used if SaveOriginal is set to true.
