# `Tessera.Storage.Local`
[🔗](https://github.com/alexdont/tessera/blob/v0.1.0/lib/tessera/storage/local.ex#L1)

Default `Tessera.Storage` implementation that copies tiles into a
caller-supplied root directory on the local filesystem.

## Required opt

  * `:root` — base directory; intermediate dirs are created as needed.

## Example

    Tessera.generate_tile(input, {1, 0, 0}, "my-image",
      image_width: 4032,
      image_height: 3024,
      storage: Tessera.Storage.Local,
      storage_opts: [root: "/var/tiles"]
    )

Tiles land at `/var/tiles/my-image_files/1/0_0.jpg`; the manifest from
`Tessera.generate_manifest/3` lands at `/var/tiles/my-image.dzi`.
