How to convert files on demand (synchronously)?

Example 1: docx to pdf

if($fileWord = $page->file('test.docx')) {
    $filePDF = $fileWord->cloudconvert(
        [
            'inputformat' => 'docx',
            'outputformat' => 'pdf',
        ], 
        str_replace('.docx', '.pdf', $fileWord->root()),
        false // wait for conversion to be done
    );
    echo $fileWord->url().PHP_EOL;
    if($filePDF) {
        echo $filePDF->url();
    }
}

Hooks: How to convert files on upload/replace (asynchronously by default)?

Example 2: gif to webm and mp4

In Kirbys config file add this... then use panel to upload a gif to an image/file section.

function customConvertHook($file) {
    if($file->extension() == 'gif') {

        $file->cloudconvert(
            [
                'inputformat' => 'gif',
                'outputformat' => 'webm',
                'save' => true, // keep file at cloud to avoid another download from cloudconvert-server
            ]
        );

        $file->cloudconvert(
            [
                'inputformat' => 'gif',
                'outputformat' => 'mp4',
            ]
        );
    }
}

return [
    // ... other config settings
    'hooks' => [
        'file.create:after' => function($file) {
            customConvertHook($file);
        },
        'file.replace:after' => function($newFile, $oldFile) {
            customConvertHook($newFile);
        },
    ]
];

Other Usecases

Example 3: convert ai to svg and optimize

This example shows how to use this plugin with my thumb imageoptim plugin.

$fileSvg = $file->cloudconvert(
    [
        'inputformat' => 'ai',
        'outputformat' => 'svg',
    ], 
    null, // auto-rename with extension
    false // on-demand aka synchonous aka wait
);
if($fileSvg) {
    // NOTE: resize() is called to trigger stuff like optimziers (see thumb-imageoptim plugin)
    $fileSvgOptimized = $fileSvg->resize();
    echo svg($fileSvgOptimized->root()); // use kirbys svg helper to inline the svg
}

Example 4: How to convert image files for srcsets? jpg to webp.

This example shows how to use this plugin with my srcset plugin.

config file

return [
    // ... other settings
    'bnomei.srcset.types' => ['jpg', 'webp'],
    'bnomei.srcset.resize' => function (\Kirby\Cms\File $file, int $width, string $type) {
        // NOTE: resize() is called to trigger stuff like optimziers (see thumb-imageoptim plugin)

        // use jpg to create webp
        if($file->extension() == 'jpg' && $type == 'webp') {
            $fileWebp = $file->cloudconvert(
                [
                    'inputformat' => 'jpg',
                    'outputformat' => 'webp',
                ], 
                null, // auto-rename with extension
                false // on-demand aka synchonous aka wait
            );
            if($fileWebp) {
                return $fileWebp->resize($width);
            }
        }
        // otherwise default to returning image
        return $file->resize($width);
    }
];

Global cloudconvert helper function

This plugin provides a helper function to call the cloudconvert api.

$obj = cloudconvert($options); // will change extension but keep path
$obj = cloudconvert($options, $outputPath); // provide different path
$obj = cloudconvert($options, $outputPath, $async); // a/sync

Retrun Values

  • Kirby\Cms\File if $options['file'] is one as well and $async == false
  • otherwise it returns an instance of CloudConvert\Process
  • or null on error

Performance

TD;DR Calling File-Method has best performance since it only converts the file if it was modified or is new.

File-Object

Using Kirby\Cms\File object for $options['file'] is recommended. In that case the modified timestamp will be checked against a cached value and a conversion triggered only if a file was modified or output does not exist. This is the default behaviour for the FileMethod provided by this plugin.

DANGER: There is no check (yet) if a file is currently processed by cloudconvert. This might be improved at a later point.

Path

When a path is used then file will be created only if ouput does not exist. You need to do modification checks and removing of old files yourself before starting the conversion.

Settings

TIP: you can also set a callback if you use the dotenv Plugin 'bnomei.cloudconvert.apikey' => function() { return env('CLOUDCONVERT_APIKEY'); },

TIP: consider setting up presets to manage your settings from within the cloudconvert dashboard instead of the Kirby config file.
