# Fly
> A project from [DailyDrip](https://www.dailydrip.com).
Fly is an OTP application you can use to transform files on the fly with various
workers.
It's very much in-progress at present! As in, it doesn't work at all like you
want yet! Ultimately, you will be able to use it to generate URLs that specify
Just-in-Time transformations of a given file.
For now, the API will certainly change as it's *extremely early in development*.
## Installation
The package can be installed by doing the following:
1. Add `fly` to your list of dependencies in `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[{:fly, "~> 0.1.0"}]
end
```
2. Ensure `fly` is started before your application:
```elixir
def application do
[applications: [:fly]]
end
```
## Configuration
Here's an example configuration - you'll need **something** configured for the
app, so use this until you know more :)
```elixir
config :fly, :workers,
%{
static: {Fly.Worker.StaticText, %{}},
pngify: {Fly.Worker.Pngify, %{}},
resize: {Fly.Worker.Resize, %{}}
}
```
## Building a worker
You can look at the [Fly.Worker.Resize](lib/fly/worker/resize.ex) worker to see
an example of building a worker. You configure them in your application
configuration. An example is in [this project's config.exs](config/config.exs).
## Using a worker
For now, you can just run workers directly:
```elixir
Fly.run(:resize, input, %{size: "100x"})
```
