ArtistAPhoto

Core Concepts

Fluent API

ArtistAPhoto uses a fluent (chainable) API pattern. Most methods return this, allowing you to chain operations:

editor
  .crop({ x: 0, y: 0, width: 500, height: 500 })
  .filter('grayscale')
  .brightness(20)
  .resize(400, 400);

Non-Destructive Editing

All edits are stored as operations in a queue. The original image is never modified, allowing you to:

  • Undo/redo any operation
  • Reset to the original image at any time
  • Preview changes before exporting

Operation Queue

Operations are applied in order when you call preview(), toCanvas(), toBlob(), toDataURL() or download().

// Operations are queued, not immediately applied
editor.brightness(20);  // Queued
editor.contrast(10);    // Queued

// Operations applied when rendering
const canvas = await editor.preview();
