🏗️ Advanced Usage

Custom Components

Create your own components by extending the Component class:

from dolze_image_templates.components import Component
from PIL import Image, ImageDraw

class CustomShapeComponent(Component):
    def __init__(self, position, size, color, **kwargs):
        super().__init__(position=position, **kwargs)
        self.size = size
        self.color = color

    def render(self, image, context):
        draw = ImageDraw.Draw(image)
        # Draw a custom shape
        draw.polygon([
            (self.x, self.y + self.size[1] // 2),
            (self.x + self.size[0] // 2, self.y),
            (self.x + self.size[0], self.y + self.size[1] // 2),
            (self.x + self.size[0] // 2, self.y + self.size[1])
        ], fill=tuple(self.color))
        return image

# Register the custom component
from dolze_image_templates import get_template_registry
registry = get_template_registry()
registry.register_component('custom_shape', CustomShapeComponent)

Using Hooks

Dolze Templates provides hooks for extending functionality:

from dolze_image_templates import hooks

@hooks.register('before_render')
def log_render_start(template_name, context):
    print(f"Rendering template: {template_name}")

@hooks.register('after_render')
def process_rendered_image(image, template_name, context):
    # Apply custom image processing
    return image.filter(ImageFilter.SHARPEN)

📚 API Reference

Core Classes

TemplateEngine

The main class for processing templates.

engine = TemplateEngine(
    output_dir='output',
    cache_dir='.cache',
    auto_create_dirs=True
)

# Process a template file
result = engine.process_from_file('template.json')

# Process a template dictionary
result = engine.process_template('template_name', template_config, context={})

# Clear cached assets
engine.clear_cache()

TemplateRegistry

Manages available components and template loaders.

from dolze_image_templates import get_template_registry

registry = get_template_registry()

# Register a custom component
registry.register_component('custom', CustomComponent)


# Get a component class
component_cls = registry.get_component('text')

🛠️ Template Structure

Templates in Dolze are defined using a JSON structure that describes the layout, styling, and content of the generated image. Here's a comprehensive guide to the template structure:

Basic Template Structure

{
  "template_name": {
    "metadata": {
      "name": "Social Media Post",
      "description": "A template for social media posts",

      "author": "Your Name"
    },
    "settings": {
      "size": [1080, 1080], // width, height in pixels
      "background_color": [255, 255, 255, 255], // RGBA values (0-255)
      "background_image": null, // Optional background image URL or path
      "output_format": "png", // png, jpg, webp, etc.
      "output_quality": 95 // 1-100 for lossy formats
    },
    "variables": {
      "title": "Default Title",
      "subtitle": "Default Subtitle",
      "image_url": "https://example.com/default.jpg"
    },
    "components": [
      // Component definitions go here
    ]
  }
}

Examples

See the examples/ directory for complete examples of how to use each template.

# Generate all example templates
python examples/generate_examples.py

Customization

Adding Custom Fonts

1. Place your font files in the fonts/ directory
2. Reference them in your templates using the font name (without extension)

Creating Custom Templates

1. Create a new JSON file in the dolze_image_templates/templates/ directory
2. Define your template structure following the format shown above
3. Register your template in the TemplateRegistry

Development

Running Tests

python -m pytest tests/

Building the Package

python setup.py sdist bdist_wheel

License

MIT } result = processor.process_json(json_data)

Print paths to generated images

for key, path in result.items(): print(f"{key}: {path}")

## JSON Schema

The input JSON must contain at least an `image_url` field:

```json
{
  "image_url": "https://example.com/image.jpg"
}

Additional fields can be added for future extensions:

{
  "image_url": "https://example.com/image.jpg",
  "text": {
    "title": "My Title",
    "description": "Description text"
  },
  "cta": {
    "text": "Click Here",
    "url": "https://example.com"
  }
}

Extending the System

The ImageProcessor class is designed to be easily extended. To add new features:

1. Add new methods to the ImageProcessor class
2. Update the process_json method to use these new features

See the extensions.py file for examples of adding text and CTA buttons.
