Ruby Lepton

A Ruby wrapper library for Dropbox JPEG Lepton compression tool.

Install Dropbox Lepton

On macOS with Homebrew:

$ brew install lepton

On linux:

$ sudo apt update
$ sudo apt install lepton

This guide assumes you have Dropbox Lepton installed.

$ gem install ruby_lepton

or include inside Gemfile

gem "ruby_lepton"

Install ruby lepton:

$ bundle exec ruby_lepton install

Compress method

RubyLepton::Base.compress(path_to_source_file, options)

returns output file path: "output/filename.lep"

Decompress method

RubyLepton::Base.decompress(path_to_source_file, options)

returns output file path: "output/filename.jpeg"

options can be passed as hash {binary: true}

Supported options: binary

Generate binstubs for CLI commands:

$ bundle binstubs ruby_lepton

ruby_lepton executable will be generated under bin/ folder

Compress a image:

$ bundle exec ruby_lepton compress [PATH] [OPTIONS]

Decompress a file:

$ bundle exec ruby_lepton decompress [PATH] [OPTIONS]

File is generated after compression and decompression under output/ folder

Options

$ bundle exec ruby_lepton compress path_to_file --verbose
$ bundle exec ruby_lepton decompress path_to_file --no-verbose

By default, file is generated after compression and decompression under output/ folder

RubyLepton::Base.decompress(path_to_source_file)

Binary data will be returned instead of file by passing {binary: true} option

RubyLepton::Base.decompress(path_to_source_file, {binary: true})

File is not generated when --binary option is passed
