Rotate images

[supervanya]

I am embedding images into the document but I am noticing if the orientation of the jpeg image isn't correct. It is due to the EXIF metadata for orientation being something other than 1.

Would it be possible to specify rotation when creating the media object within drawingOptions:

const drawingOptions = {
  transformation: {
    rotate: {
      type: IMediaRotateType.Clockwise,
      value: 90,
    }
  }
}
Media.addImage(document, fileBuffer, actualWidth, actualHeight, drawingOptions)

Gladly

Could you provide the associated specification/documentation for this

Thanks

Will be included in: #822

I took most of your API advice, I like transformation, however, I thought maybe it will be too much for the user if they have to specify clockwise or anti clockwise rotation. It increases complexity without providing too much value. rotation is a simple number attribute in degrees.

Thanks

small question: did you publish this change to npm? I'm not getting the updated code of #822.

@ivschukin I don't think there was a release yet but if you really need this functionality you could try pointing your package.json to a specific commit instead:

{
  "name": "foo",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "dependencies": {
    "docx": "https://github.com/dolanmiu/docx.git#9557015c6cef7bcae6e7d61b8b20dd0ac44c5b8d", // add commit hash here
  }
}

If you decide to do this, you will also need to build the docx manually. I added a postinstall script to package.json:

{
  "name": "foo",
  "version": "0.0.0",
  "scripts": {
    "postinstall": "cd ./node_modules/docx && yarn install && yarn build || rm -rf node_modules/ && cd ../..",
  }
}
