Context

A Deno-based TypeScript utility is needed to scale images to fixed dimensions. The solution must work in the Deno runtime environment and support common image formats.

Goals / Non-Goals

Goals:

  • Scale images to specified fixed dimensions
  • Support PNG, JPEG, WebP, and GIF formats
  • Preserve aspect ratio with configurable options
  • Provide a simple CLI interface
  • Run on Deno runtime

Non-Goals:

  • Advanced image editing (filters, cropping, rotation)
  • Server-side API or web interface
  • Real-time image processing pipelines

Decisions

Decision Choice Rationale
Runtime Deno User specified TypeScript with Deno - built-in TypeScript support, modern security model
Image library deno-image or similar Deno-compatible library Native Deno support, no Node.js compatibility layer needed
CLI approach Deno args parsing Simple, no external dependencies for argument handling
Aspect ratio Configurable (stretch or fit) Flexibility for different use cases

Risks / Trade-offs

Risk Mitigation
Limited Deno image processing libraries Evaluate available options; fallback to WASM-based solutions if needed
Performance with large images Add warnings for very large files; consider streaming for batch operations
Format compatibility Test with common formats; document supported formats clearly
