SnapOtterandGitHub ecc0a45f0e docs: per-tool reference pages for all 157 tools (+ fix docs build) (#261)
* fix(docs): keep gray-matter on js-yaml 3 so the docs site builds

The js-yaml >=4.2.0 override from #257 forced js-yaml 4 onto gray-matter (used by vitepress and vitepress-plugin-llms), which calls the removed yaml.safeLoad and broke `vitepress build`. Scope a gray-matter>js-yaml ^3.14.1 override so gray-matter keeps the v3 API (build-time, trusted frontmatter only) while app code stays on js-yaml 4.2.0+.

* docs: add per-tool reference pages for all 157 tools, with a modality sidebar

Generate /tools/<id> pages for the 104 tools that lacked one (video 29, audio 17, document 36, data 10, and 12 newer image tools), matching the existing page format (API endpoint, parameters from the OpenAPI spec, curl example, response, notes). Async/AI tools document the 202+SSE flow and feature-bundle requirement.

Sidebar: add Video / Audio / PDF & Documents / Data groups with per-tool links, fold the 12 new image tools into the existing image categories, and replace the placeholder rest.md-anchor group. Docs site builds cleanly (157 pages, no dead links).

LQIP Placeholder

Generate a tiny low-quality image placeholder (LQIP) from a source image. Returns a small placeholder file along with a base64 data URI, ready-to-use HTML <img> tag, and CSS background-image snippet for immediate embedding.

API Endpoint

POST /api/v1/tools/lqip-placeholder

Accepts multipart form data with an image file and a JSON settings field.

Parameters

Parameter Type Required Default Description
width integer No 16 Target width in pixels (4-64)
blur number No 2 Blur radius for the blur strategy (0-20)
strategy string No "blur" Placeholder strategy: blur, pixelate, or solid
format string No "webp" Output format: webp, png, or jpeg
quality integer No 50 Output quality (1-100)

Example Request

curl -X POST http://localhost:1349/api/v1/tools/lqip-placeholder \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer si_your-api-key" \
  -F "file=@photo.jpg" \
  -F 'settings={"width": 20, "strategy": "blur", "format": "webp"}'

Example Response

{
  "jobId": "a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890",
  "downloadUrl": "/api/v1/download/a1b2c3d4-e5f6-7890-abcd-ef1234567890/photo.webp",
  "originalSize": 2450000,
  "processedSize": 280,
  "dataUri": "data:image/webp;base64,UklGR...",
  "width": 20,
  "height": 13,
  "bytes": 280,
  "strategy": "blur",
  "html": "<img src=\"data:image/webp;base64,UklGR...\" width=\"20\" height=\"13\" alt=\"\" />",
  "css": "background-image: url(data:image/webp;base64,UklGR...);"
}

Notes

  • The dataUri field contains the complete data URI, ready for use in src attributes or CSS without any additional requests.
  • The html and css fields provide copy-paste snippets for common use cases.
  • The blur strategy produces a soft, blurred thumbnail. The pixelate strategy creates a blocky mosaic. The solid strategy returns a single averaged color.
  • Typical placeholder sizes are 200-500 bytes, making them suitable for inlining directly in HTML.
  • Height is calculated automatically to preserve the source image's aspect ratio.
  • HEIC, RAW, PSD, and SVG inputs are automatically decoded before processing.
