Make a class for layering images in JavaScript based on a parent element, which the images are added to as absolutely positioned child elements, and can assume the parent element is itself absolutely or realtively positioned. The constructor will take a parent element. There will be an addLayer method where you can send it an object which will contain an image as well as several other properties. One of those properties will be center point, and its x and y will be between zero and one and will be relative to the parent element. (x:.5 and y: .5 will mean the child image is centered on the parent. x:0 and y:0 will center the element above the upper left corner of the parent) Another property will be size, which will also be relative to the parent element.The default center point will be x: 0.5 and y: 0.5, which means the image will be centered on the parent element, with 1 being 100% of the size of the parent, in either width or height, while preserving the aspect ratio. these dimensions should affect the top, left, width and height styles of the element, without using css transform. there should be a method that adjusts those styles, and it should be called only after the image has loaded, with it not displayed until that point.

javascript
class ImageLayer { constructor(parent) { this.parent = parent; } addLayer(layer) { const { image, center = { x: 0.5, y: 0.5 }, size = 1 } = layer; const imgElement = new Image(); imgElement.src = image; imgElement.style.position = "absolute"; imgElement.style.display = "none"; imgElement.onload = () => { const { width, height } = imgElement; const parentWidth = this.parent.offsetWidth; const parentHeight = this.parent.offsetHeight; const aspectRatio = width / height; let newWidth = parentWidth * size; let newHeight = newWidth / aspectRatio; if (newHeight > parentHeight * size) { newHeight = parentHeight * size; newWidth = newHeight * aspectRatio; } imgElement.style.top = `${(parentHeight - newHeight) * center.y}px`; imgElement.style.left = `${(parentWidth - newWidth) * center.x}px`; imgElement.style.width = `${newWidth}px`; imgElement.style.height = `${newHeight}px`; imgElement.style.display = "block"; }; this.parent.appendChild(imgElement); } }

change the above class so that it maintains an array of layers, each containing all the information sent, and the element that it created. put the contents of the onload function into its own method, so it can be called later if needed, such as if the parent element changes size or position. also, change the addLayer method to allow another optional argument called "where", which will be an object containing either a "next" or "prev" member, which is a layer that the new layer should be put before or after. return the new layer object to the caller, or return null if it could not be created or added as requested.

kotlin
class ImageLayer { constructor(parent) { this.parent = parent; this.layers = []; } adjustImage(imgElement, layer) { const { center = { x: 0.5, y: 0.5 }, size = 1 } = layer; const { width, height } = imgElement; const parentWidth = this.parent.offsetWidth; const parentHeight = this.parent.offsetHeight; const aspectRatio = width / height; let newWidth = parentWidth * size; let newHeight = newWidth / aspectRatio; if (newHeight > parentHeight * size) { newHeight = parentHeight * size; newWidth = newHeight * aspectRatio; } imgElement.style.top = `${(parentHeight - newHeight) * center.y}px`; imgElement.style.left = `${(parentWidth - newWidth) * center.x}px`; imgElement.style.width = `${newWidth}px`; imgElement.style.height = `${newHeight}px`; imgElement.style.display = "block"; } addLayer(layer, where = {}) { const { image } = layer; const imgElement = new Image(); imgElement.src = image; imgElement.style.position = "absolute"; imgElement.style.display = "none"; imgElement.onload = () => { this.adjustImage(imgElement, layer); }; this.parent.appendChild(imgElement); const newLayer = { ...layer, imgElement }; const { next, prev } = where; if (next) { const nextIndex = this.layers.indexOf(next); if (nextIndex === -1) { return null; } this.layers.splice(nextIndex, 0, newLayer); } else if (prev) { const prevIndex = this.layers.indexOf(prev); if (prevIndex === -1) { return null; } this.layers.splice(prevIndex + 1, 0, newLayer); } else { this.layers.push(newLayer); } return newLayer; } }

change the above class to be called LayeredGraphics, and to accept images, svg elements, and div elements. for images and svg elements, you can send either the source url, or an existing image or svg. check if the width and height are already available and skip the onload function if so. the first argument to addLayer will be either an DOM element (div, image or svg) or a string (a url, with an extension png, jpeg, jpg, gif, or svg).

kotlin
class LayeredGraphics { constructor(parent) { this.parent = parent; this.layers = []; } adjustElement(element, layer) { const { center = { x: 0.5, y: 0.5 }, size = 1 } = layer; const width = element.offsetWidth; const height = element.offsetHeight; const parentWidth = this.parent.offsetWidth; const parentHeight = this.parent.offsetHeight; const aspectRatio = width / height; let newWidth = parentWidth * size; let newHeight = newWidth / aspectRatio; if (newHeight > parentHeight * size) { newHeight = parentHeight * size; newWidth = newHeight * aspectRatio; } element.style.top = `${(parentHeight - newHeight) * center.y}px`; element.style.left = `${(parentWidth - newWidth) * center.x}px`; element.style.width = `${newWidth}px`; element.style.height = `${newHeight}px`; element.style.display = "block"; } addLayer(elementOrUrl, layer, where = {}) { let element; if (typeof elementOrUrl === "string") { const extension = elementOrUrl .split(".") .pop() .toLowerCase(); if (["png", "jpeg", "jpg", "gif"].includes(extension)) { element = new Image(); element.src = elementOrUrl; } else if (extension === "svg") { element = document.createElementNS( "http://www.w3.org/2000/svg", "svg" ); element.innerHTML = `<image xlink:href="${elementOrUrl}" />`; } else { return null; } element.style.display = "none"; if (!element.width || !element.height) { element.onload = () => { this.adjustElement(element, layer); }; } this.parent.appendChild(element); } else { element = elementOrUrl; } if (element.width && element.height) { this.adjustElement(element, layer); } const newLayer = { ...layer, element }; const { next, prev } = where; if (next) { const nextIndex = this.layers.indexOf(next); if (nextIndex === -1) { return null; } this.layers.splice(nextIndex, 0, newLayer); } else if (prev) { const prevIndex = this.layers.indexOf(prev); if (prevIndex === -1) { return null; } this.layers.splice(prevIndex + 1, 0, newLayer); } else { this.layers.push(newLayer); } return newLayer; } }

change the above function so that the onload function is assigned to the element before it is given a src attribute, so it isn't too late if the data is already cached.

kotlin
class LayeredGraphics { constructor(parentElement) { this.parentElement = parentElement; this.layers = []; } addLayer(elementOrUrl, properties = {centerX: 0.5, centerY: 0.5, size: 1}, where = {next: null, prev: null}) { let layerElement; if (typeof elementOrUrl === 'string') { layerElement = new Image(); layerElement.onload = this._handleImageLoad.bind(this, layerElement, properties); layerElement.src = elementOrUrl; } else if (elementOrUrl instanceof HTMLImageElement) { layerElement = elementOrUrl; if (layerElement.complete) { this._handleImageLoad(layerElement, properties); } else { layerElement.onload = this._handleImageLoad.bind(this, layerElement, properties); } } else if (elementOrUrl instanceof SVGElement) { layerElement = elementOrUrl; this._handleImageLoad(layerElement, properties); } else if (elementOrUrl instanceof HTMLDivElement) { layerElement = elementOrUrl; this._handleImageLoad(layerElement, properties); } else { return null; } layerElement.style.position = 'absolute'; this.parentElement.appendChild(layerElement); const newLayer = {element: layerElement, properties}; if (where.next) { const nextIndex = this.layers.indexOf(where.next); if (nextIndex === -1) return null; this.layers.splice(nextIndex, 0, newLayer); } else if (where.prev) { const prevIndex = this.layers.indexOf(where.prev); if (prevIndex === -1) return null; this.layers.splice(prevIndex + 1, 0, newLayer); } else { this.layers.push(newLayer); } return newLayer; } adjustLayers() { this.layers.forEach(layer => { const {element, properties} = layer; const {centerX, centerY, size} = properties; const parentRect = this.parentElement.getBoundingClientRect(); const width = size * parentRect.width; const height = size * parentRect.height; const left = (parentRect.width - width) * centerX + this.parentElement.offsetLeft; const top = (parentRect.height - height) * centerY + this.parentElement.offsetTop; element.style.left = `${left}px`; element.style.top = `${top}px`; element.style.width = `${width}px`; element.style.height = `${height}px`; }); } _handleImageLoad(layerElement, properties) { layerElement.onload = null; this.adjustLayers(); } }

change the class so that it maintains the aspect ratio of images/svgs based on their natural width and height. also, do not add the coordinates to the parent element's offset, since the parent element is relatively positioned

kotlin
class LayeredGraphics { constructor(parent) { this.parent = parent; this.layers = []; } addLayer(element, options = {}) { let layer; if (typeof element === "string") { layer = new Image(); layer.src = element; layer.style.position = "absolute"; layer.style.pointerEvents = "none"; } else if (element.nodeName === "IMG") { layer = element; layer.style.position = "absolute"; layer.style.pointerEvents = "none"; } else if (element.nodeName === "svg") { layer = element; layer.style.position = "absolute"; layer.style.pointerEvents = "none"; } else { layer = element; layer.style.position = "absolute"; } if (!options.hasOwnProperty("center")) { options.center = { x: 0.5, y: 0.5 }; } if (!options.hasOwnProperty("size")) { options.size = { width: 1, height: 1 }; } if (!options.hasOwnProperty("where")) { options.where = {}; } this.parent.appendChild(layer); if (typeof element === "string") { if (layer.naturalWidth && layer.naturalHeight) { this.applyStyles(layer, options); } else { layer.onload = () => this.applyStyles(layer, options); } } else { this.applyStyles(layer, options); } let newLayer = { element: layer, options: options }; if (!options.where.hasOwnProperty("next") && !options.where.hasOwnProperty("prev")) { this.layers.push(newLayer); return newLayer; } let index = this.layers.indexOf(options.where.next || options.where.prev); if (index === -1) { return null; } if (options.where.hasOwnProperty("next")) { this.layers.splice(index + 1, 0, newLayer); } else if (options.where.hasOwnProperty("prev")) { this.layers.splice(index, 0, newLayer); } return newLayer; } applyStyles(layer, options) { let parentWidth = this.parent.offsetWidth; let parentHeight = this.parent.offsetHeight; let width = parentWidth * options.size.width; let height = parentHeight * options.size.height; if (layer.naturalWidth && layer.naturalHeight) { let aspectRatio = layer.naturalWidth / layer.naturalHeight; if (width / height > aspectRatio) { width = height * aspectRatio; } else { height = width / aspectRatio; } } let left = parentWidth * options.center.x - width / 2; let top = parentHeight * options.center.y - height / 2;

from the previous class, the LayeredGraphics class, to also accept an optional argument maintainAspectRatio in the addLayer method. If set to true, the aspect ratio of the image or svg will be maintained while setting the width and height, and if set to false, the width and height will be set as specified, potentially stretching or compressing the image. Additionally, the class should have a removeLayer method that takes a layer object and removes it from the list of layers and from the DOM.

Certainly! Here is the updateLayer function:

Avatar of the person chatting

last time updateLayer had two arguments. can you give it to me as you were starting to do before, with layerProperties as the second argument?

Sure, here's the updateLayer function that accepts the layer object and a layerProperties object as arguments:

scss
updateLayer(layer, layerProperties) { const { center, size } = layerProperties; if (center) { const { x, y } = center; layer.center = { x, y }; } if (size) { const { width, height } = size; layer.size = { width, height }; } this.adjustStyles(layer); }

This function first updates the center and size properties of the layer object with the values from the layerProperties object, if they are present. Then it calls the adjustStyles method to update the styles of the layer based on the new properties.

can I have a new method for this class, called setLayerVisibility which takes a number from 0 to one as the visibilty (0 is essentially "off"). there should be a second argument for the time into the future to complete the transition. if the second argument is non zero, it will change the opacity with a css transition, which you should apply when setting the opacity. it should use a moderate ease in and out. please provide that method, and let me know if you need to make changes elsewhere in the class

Sure, you can add the setLayerVisibility method as follows:

css
setLayerVisibility(layer, visibility, time = 0) { layer.element.style.transition = `opacity ${time}s ease-in-out`; layer.element.style.opacity = visibility; }

This method takes in a layer object, a visibility value between 0 and 1, and an optional time argument for the duration of the opacity transition. If the time argument is not specified or is 0, the transition will be immediate. If the time argument is greater than 0, the opacity transition will occur over the specified duration with an ease-in-out effect.
