Api For Image Transforms

Description

Hii, I am currently building an api to get data of entries because graphql sucks :D I was planning to use your wonderful plugin for providing images.

I would like to be able to flexibly select the transform of the image in the frontend. So at the moment I would have to send every srcset of every image on that page with the api response. This can quickly lead to unnecessary amounts of data.

It would be cool if there was some kind of dynamic url to the image with transformation and width in it.

For example, an api response could look like this:

urls": {
  “16x9": ‘https://example.com/assets/16x9/_WIDTH_/example.jpg’,
  “auto": ‘https://example.com/assets/_WIDTH_/example.jpg’,
  “1x1": ‘https://example.com/assets/1x1/_WIDTH_/example.jpg’,
  “3x2": ‘https://example.com/assets/3x2/_WIDTH_/example.jpg’,
  “3x4": ‘https://example.com/assets/3x4/_WIDTH_/example.jpg’,
  “4x3": ”https://example.com/assets/4x3/_WIDTH_/example.jpg”
}

When calling https://example.com/assets/16x9/800/example.jpg, the example.jpg would then be loaded in 16/9 transform with 800px width. Of course, this assumes that this transform must also exist in imager-x-transforms.php.

And is there a function where I can get all named transforms?

I would be happy if you could share your opinion on this with me :)

@aelvan Hey, some time went by and the Query API Plugin that I was building is done.

That said, I'm still facing some issues with images and I would love to partner with you here. I think this could be an awesome pro feature on your end.

My Problem with images is that I have to generate all transforms upfront before I can send the response to the user. Otherwise the user has no srcset urls.

Feel free to share your opinion on this!
