I have a use case where I want to created (a) a Node application that (b) performs basic image manipulations (PNG resize and crop) but (c) where I cannot have external dependencies like native libraries, GraphicsMagick, ImageMagick, PhantonJS, Inkscape, etc.
It all has to be done in pure JavaScript.
Given how simple the manipulation I want to do is (just PNG resize and crop) this doesn't seem impossible. However, I cannot find a crop/resize library that doesn't ultimately have an external or native dependency.
Does such a genuinely pure JavaScript library exist for crop/resize? How difficult would it be to implement this in pure JavaScript, if I had to do it myself? And where should I start?
Alternatively, is there a suitable C function for this that I could compile using emscripten, for example?
