file_data

require 'file_data'

## Step 1: Read in the exif data using either a file path or a stream

# Using a file path...
file_path = '/home/user/desktop/my_file.jpg' # Path to an exif file
exif_data = FileData::Exif.all_data(file_path) # read in all of the exif data from the file path

# Or using a stream...
exif_data = File.open(file_path, 'rb') do |f|
  FileData::Exif.all_data(f)
end

## Step 2: Data is divided into image data and thumbnail data. Pick which you want to work with.

# Both objects are hash-like and should respond to all hash method except .length which instead will return the value of :Image_Structure_Length,
image_data = exif_data.image
thumbnail_data = exif_data.thumbnail

## Step 3: Extract the tag values

### Step 3A: Extract tags with a known name (ones that are listed in the "Known Tag Keys" section below)

# Convenience methods are added for the names after the last underscore in the known tag names (casing and underscores are ignored in the convenince method names)

bits_per_sample = image_data.BitsPerSample # Gets :Image_Structure_BitsPerSample from the :Tiff section
bits_per_sample = image_data.bits_per_sample # Also gets :Image_Structure_BitsPerSample from the :Tiff section

### Step 3B: Extract tags without a known name (ones NOT listed in the "Known Tag Keys" section below)

# Use the format "#{ifd_id}-#{tag_id}" for the unknown tag to key into the data
unknown_gps_tag_value = image_data["34853-99999"]
