# Get api key at:
# https://unsplash.com/oauth/applications

# folder_path - The destination folder where the generated images will be saved
# logo_path - The path to your app's logo image
# seasons - Generate images based on the current season of the year

ReleaseImage.config.api_key     = ENV.fetch("UNSPLASH_API_KEY")
ReleaseImage.config.keywords    = %w[nature wallpaper]
ReleaseImage.config.folder_path = File.join(APP_ROOT, "tmp/release_image")
ReleaseImage.config.logo_path   = File.join(APP_ROOT, "app/assets/images/logo/release_logo.png")
ReleaseImage.config.seasons     = true

version = ARGV[0]
date    = ARGV[1]

abort("Please provide a release version".red) unless version

puts ReleaseImage.generate(version: version, date: date, skip_download: options[:skip_download]).green

Use existing image

Sometimes you may want to skip downloading a random image and use a previously downloaded image instead. This can be achieved by setting the skip_download option to true. Image is downloaded by default and saved to the folder_path directory as image.jpg.

ReleaseImage.generate(version: version, date: date, skip_download: true)
