Example bin/release_image script:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby

require "dotenv/load"
require "optparse"
require "colorize"
require "release_image"

APP_ROOT = File.expand_path("..", __dir__)

options = {}

OptionParser.new do |opts|
  opts.banner = "Usage: bin/release_image version [date] [options]"

  opts.on("--skip-download", "Skip downloading a random image and use a previously downloaded image instead.") do
    options[:skip_download] = true
  end

  opts.on("-h", "--help", "Prints this help") do
    puts opts

# folder_path - The destination folder where the generated images will be saved
# logo_path - The path to your app's logo image

ReleaseImage.config.api_key     = ENV.fetch("UNSPLASH_API_KEY")
ReleaseImage.config.keywords    = %w[nature wallpaper]
ReleaseImage.config.folder_path = File.join(APP_ROOT, "tmp/release_image")
ReleaseImage.config.logo_path   = File.join(APP_ROOT, "app/assets/images/logo/release_logo.png")
ReleaseImage.config.seasons     = true

version = ARGV[0]
date    = ARGV[1]

abort("Please provide a release version".red) unless version

puts ReleaseImage.generate(version: version, date: date, skip_download: options[:skip_download]).green

Sometimes you may want to skip downloading a random image and use a previously downloaded image instead. This can be achieved by setting the skip_download option to true. Image is downloaded by default and saved to the folder_path directory as image.jpg.

ReleaseImage.generate(version: version, date: date, skip_download: true)
