For basic setups you'll likely only need the `outputImage()` method. However, if you plan to use Glide with a queuing server or in other more complex configurations, these methods will be useful. ## Available methods ~~~ php getSourcePath(); // Get the source path $server->getCachePath(); // Get the cache path $server->sourceFileExists(); // Check if a source file exists $server->cacheFileExists(); // Check if a cache file exists $server->outputImage(); // Generate and output manipulated image $server->getImageResponse(); // Generate and return response object of manipulated image $server->makeImage(); // Generate manipulated image ~~~ ## Accepted method parameters All of the above methods will accept an instance of the `Symfony\Component\HttpFoundation\Request` class. However, sometimes it's desirable to manually pass the image path and manipulation parameters. Glide makes this easy by also allowing you to pass a `$path` and `$params` combination to the above methods. Consider the following example: ~~~ php outputImage( '/users/' . $id . '.jpg', [ 'w' => 300, 'h' => 400, 'fit' => 'crop', ] ); }); ~~~
