Include image-q library into your project

ES6 module

// will import ESM (ESNext) or UMD version depending on your bundler/node
import * as iq from 'image-q';

CommonJS

var iq = require('image-q');

As a global variable (Browser)

<script
  src="<path-to image-q/dist/umd/image-q.js>"
  type="text/javascript"
  charset="utf-8"
></script>

How to use

Please refer to API Documentation and Usage
