batch-c

• Problem/Solution
• Installation

Problem:

• You have a folder with images in them, there is nesting and mixed file types and you want to quickly convert all of the images to a different file format (probably WebP 😉) . Take the following file structure for example:

images/
├── SomeText.txt
├── Trees.jpg
├── foo
│   ├── SomeScript.js 
│   ├── Chair.jpg
│   └── Chair Copy.jpg
└── bar
    ├── Leaves.jpg
    └── baz
        └── Things.jpg

Solution:

    batch-c images --to webp

• Batch-c converts multiple images inside a directory, all while preserving file structure (including non image files)

• If we run the command above on the images directory from the previous example, we get this:

images-converted/
├── SomeText.txt
├── Trees.webp
├── foo
│   ├── SomeScript.js 
│   ├── Chair.webp
│   └── Chair Copy.webp
└── bar
    ├── Leaves.webp
    └── baz
        └── Things.webp

• Our file structure is preserved and all the images have been converted 👍

Installation

    npm install --global batch-c || npm i -G batch-c

Usage

    batch-c [DIRECTORY] --to [FILE_TYPE]
