Timber\​ImageHelper

Implements the Twig image filters: https://timber.github.io/docs/v2/guides/cookbook-images/#arbitrary-resizing-of-images

  • resize
  • retina
  • letterbox
  • tojpg

Implementation:

  • public static functions provide the methods that are called by the filter
  • most of the work is common to all filters (URL analysis, directory gymnastics, file caching, error management) and done by private static functions
  • the specific part (actual image processing) is delegated to dedicated subclasses of TimberImageOperation
