automate-placeholder

I wrote this for an assignment done for my brother at Themeforest.

How it works

This script/converted exe (Windows only) searches relative directory(directories) for images (*.jpg, *.png) and goes to http://placehold.it for their appropriate placeholder, downloads it, and replaces the original images.

Usage

This can be used in two forms.

• Ruby script: you need to download all the gems necessary. Then run in terminal: ruby placeholder.rb (NON-WINDOWS)
• Exe File: you need to download gem ocra, then create an exe file. (WINDOWS ONLY)

Why PhantomJS?

I chose phantomjs because it's headless, and Chrome/Firefox/IE Drivers needs to be added in the path, so that's another hassle.

Windows

• Download phantomjs from here.
• Extract phantomjs.exe.
• Keep it in the same folder as placeholder.rb file.

Mac

• On Terminal: brew install phantomjs

Run

Windows

On windows you can create an Exe using ocra.

• On cmd, type gem install ocra
• Then ocra placeholder.rb
• An .exe file is created. Double click it to run.

Mac

On mac, ocra does not work. So:

• On terminal, type ruby placeholder.rb
