Node Face Detector

!FlowType compatible

This is node module based on the use of face-recognition.js, written to cut faces from the images.

How to use

``
yarn add node-face-detector
`

Or

`
git clone https://github.com/YozhikM/node-face-detector.git
`

Then run two tasks, because the two Big Brothers (Nodemon and Babel) are watching you in two different folders

`
yarn build

yarn start
`

API

getCroppedFace function accepts a url as a string and an optional scale.

`js
function getCroppedFace(src: string, scale?: number = 1): Promise<{ buffer: Buffer, format: string }>
`

The src address can be either local or external - URL.
You can not use the image format returned in promise, but I am not responsible for the consequences.

Example

`js
getCroppedFace(
'https://almaty.hh.kz/photo/492004920.jpeg?t=1520531261&h=Yerj2GWZtRPEUR6cQFGSjw'
).then(({ buffer, format }) =>
fs.writeFile(./images/face_out.${format}, buffer, () => console.log('file writted'))
);
