Automatically trigger a curation peset

[PepijnVDK1]

Is there a way to automatically trigger a curation preset?
This would come in handy to automatically generate thumbnails and other preset for optimization.

Kind regards

I might have the same question. What I'd like to do is programmatically generate as many images as I have in the preset configuration like WordPress does with add_image_size.

Thank you for your work by the way 🙏

I guess you could extend the Media model or observer to create them using the observer but that’s not really the way the plugin is meant to be used. Curation’s are meant to be one off focal point corrections for images at certain sizes. Other wise you should use the glider blade component to render the images at the sizes you need. It generates them on the fly and caches them. This keeps you from having wasted storage on your server for a bunch of image size that might not ever get served.

Thank you for your answer. The only thing with the glider component is that I doesn't seem possible to pre-render cached images so it can affect performances. I'll give it a go anyway. Thanks again.

The first request for the image is the only performance hit, after that all images are served from the cache. It's no different than how Laravel caches views.

Fair enough 👍
