Create and customize images for social media posts with giphy & unsplash
This project utilizes the materialize css library based on google's Material Design Library
This project uses the interact.js library to include reposition, resize, and rotation functions with the gifs.
jQuery was utilized to shorten code and work with both materialize and interact.js.
The motivation behind developing this application was to create and image editor that is multiplatform cababilities for various social media sites. The app allows for API calls to unsplash for the background image. This allows for a lot of customizability. It also utilizes a giphy API call to generate and apply any amount of gifs to the background image. With the use of interact.js, the gifs can be repositioned, resized, and rotated for more customizability. Unwanted gifs can be dropped under the bottom of image contaienr to delete. With css-filters and materialize css, The background image can be altered with various sliders, then saved locally. During this project, I learned how to work with the interact.js library. I previously had no expierence with the library, but with the help of the docs and devs github, I was able to apply the UI components to the gifs.

The link to the deployed site is here. image-creator
When the page is first loaded, this is the home screen.
From here, the user can select a background image via a search bar to the unsplash API. As shown below, there is a functioning sidescroll bar. To make the desired image populate the image container, just click.
After an image is selected, the user can apply filters via the filter sidebar scrollers. The user then has the option to save the settings locally.
Next the user has the option to add gifs via the sticker sidebar menu via a Giphy API call. The user can add them by just clicking. Once added, the user can also reposition, resize, and rotate the images. Drag and drop functions work when the gif is clicked and held in the middle of the gif. The resize feature works from the bottom and ride sides/edge of the gif. The rotation function is activated by clicking the red rotation arrow. These steps are displayed below in a series of images.
To remove an unwanted gif, simply drag the gif under the image container and it will be deleted.
