Features of AVIF include:
* Lossless and lossy compression.
* High dynamic range (HDR) images
* Wide color gamut images (i.e. 10- and 12-bit color depths)
* Transparency (through alpha planes).
* Animations (with an optional cover image).
* Auxiliary image sequences, where the file contains a single primary
image and a short secondary video, like Apple's Live Photos.
* Metadata rotation, mirroring, and cropping.
The AVIF format is still relatively new and some of these features aren't well
supported by browsers or other software:
* Animated AVIFs aren't supported by Firefox or by libvips.
* HDR images aren't supported by Firefox.
* Rotated, mirrored, and cropped AVIFs aren't supported by Firefox or Chrome.
* Image grids, where the file contains multiple images that are tiled
together into one big image, aren't supported by Firefox.
* AVIF as a whole has only been supported for a year or two by Chrome
and Firefox, and less than a year by Safari.
For these reasons, only basic AVIFs that don't use animation, rotation,
cropping, or image grids can be uploaded.
This directory contains library code used through Danbooru. This includes things like defining API clients, dealing with
sources, parsing tag searches, storing and resizing images, and so on.
Many of the files here use the Service Object pattern. Instead of putting complex code in models or controllers, it goes
here, in plain old Ruby objects (POROs). This keeps models and controllers simpler, and keeps domain logic isolated and
independent from the database and the HTTP request cycle.
