Develop an image merger

Technologies: * Code: Node.js + typescript (‘any’ should not be used unless our consent was received priorly) + express (if needed). * Repository: GitHub. ----------------------------- User story #1 ----------------------------- Develop a piece of code that does the following: Input: Develop a piece of code that get as input an array of images in the following format: [{ image_url: ‘[login to view URL]’, image_width: 100, // In px, i.e. ‘100px’ image_height: 100, // In px, i.e. ‘100px’ image_x_location: 0, // Means to start on the left-most pixel image_y_location: 0, // Means to start on the upper-most pixel }, { .... }] Processing: * Paint the pictures on canvas. Each picture should be placed according to its 'image_x_location' and 'image_y_location'. * Popular image formats should be supported (PNG, SVG, JPG, etc.). * Uncovered canvas areas should be left transparent in the final result, NOT white! * If 2 pictures overlap - one should appear on top of the other, according to their order in the array. Example: If the picture in array[0] is all blue, and the picture in array[1] is all red and cover the blue picture entirely - then we should not see blue in the final result. If we change their order, so that the blue will be later, then we should see a red picture with a blue picture on top of it. * Transparent parts of pictures should show the layers underneath them. * The size of the picture in 'image_url' should be stretched or shrunk (but not be cut) to the height and width as mentioned in image_width and image_height. * After finishing to paint all images on the canvas - squash them into one layer (if needed). Output: The output is a picture file with the outcome of the canvas as its content. The output can be in one of the following formats: PNG, JPG, or SVG, whichever is easier. It doesn't matter where the picture should be saved (locally, FTP, AWS S3, etc.) as long it's easily accessible for the user. ------------------------------------- ----------------------------- User story #2 ----------------------------- Add to user story #1 support for GIF files. This means that images can be of the GIF type. If one of the pictures is a GIF file - the final result should be an animated GIF file, containing the original animated GIF files (at least the parts that were not covered by other pictures). ----------------------------- We’re looking for: * Developer/programmer. * Someone who can share his/her screen via programs that allow it. * Someone who can read a user-story and make sure to perform each and every requirement from it. * Someone who tests his/her code in such a way that all of his/her bugs are edge cases. * Someone who can be available for meetings and chatting in this timeframe: 7 AM-2 PM UTC, Monday-Friday. * Have experience with programmatically editing pictures or videos. * After finishing the first user-story - QA must be perfected and approved before continuing to the second user-story. The payout will be received only after the completion of both user stories. * Please write “I can assist” as the first 3 words of your response, to show that you’ve read this description.
