A node.js library to extract IPTC data from image headers
npm install @vip30/node-iptcThis module is based on the node-iptc: https://github.com/derekbaron/node-iptc but I added the support for encoding and typescript typing
This module extracts IPTC information from JPEG files.
IPTC is (mostly non-technical) structured metadata about the image with fields like creator/artist, copyright, keywords, category, etc.
For more information, see: http://www.adobe.com/devnet-apps/photoshop/fileformatashtml/#50577409_38034
Installing using npm:
npm install @vip30/node-iptc
``javascript`
var iptc = require('@vip30/node-iptc')
fs.readFile("myImage.jpeg", function(err, data) {
if (err) { throw err }
var iptc_data = iptc(data);
});
javascript
var iptc = require('@vip30/node-iptc')
fs.readFile("myImage.jpeg", function(err, data) {
if (err) { throw err }
var iptc_data = iptc(data, {
encoding: 'Big5' // default is utf-8
});
});
