Graphicsmagick for node not writing the whole jpg

Question

I am using https://github.com/aheckmann/gm to resize an image.

var fs = require(\'fs\');
var gm = require(\'gm\');

var input = __dirname   + \'/input.jpg\';         


        

Answer 1

Why don't you just write directly to the output stream when you get data?

var fs = require('fs');
var gm = require('gm');

var input = __dirname + '/input.jpg';
var output = __dirname + '/output.jpg';

gm(input).resize(350).stream(function(err, stdout, stderr) {

  var writeStream = fs.createWriteStream(output, {
    encoding: 'base64'
  });

  stdout.pipe(writeStream);

});
