BoosterImage

The BoosterImage is a img implementation based on the module @nuxt/image.
It uses the provided API $img.

Features

With the current implementation of BoosterImage we can cover the following functionality:

• generation of multiple image resolutions (srcset)
• breakpoint-based differentiation of multiple image resolutions (srcset)
• optimized preloading of critical image resources
• lazy load of non-critical image resources
• base path support
• lazy hydration support
• load and optimize remote images from custom domains
• full SEO support

Usage

The BoosterImage is used to automatically generate and display different image sizes for different viewports.

The specified resources can be given by absolute path (static folder) or complete URL. nuxt/image downloads the resources fully automatically and stores the generated and optimized renditions in the destination folder.

WARNING

Important: For using BoosterImage do not disable @nuxt/image via disableNuxtImage.

Example

<template>
  <div>
    <booster-image v-bind="{ source, title, alt }" @load="onLoadImage"  />
  </div>
</template>

<script setup>
import BoosterImage from '#booster/components/BoosterImage';

defineProps({
  source: {
    type: Object,
    default() {
      return {
        format: 'jpg',
        src: '/img/image.jpg',
        sizes: {
          default: '100vw',
          xxs: '100vw',
          xs: '100vw',
          sm: '100vw',
          md: '100vw',
          lg: '100vw',
          xl: '100vw',
          xxl: '100vw'
        }
      };
    }
  },
  title: String,
  alt: String
});

const onLoadImage = () => console.log('Image loaded!');
</script>

Properties

{
  source: { … },
  title: 'Image Title',
  alt: 'Image Alt'
}

hydrate

• Type: Boolean
  • Default: true

The initialization of the BoosterImage in the client can be controlled manually.
Here for the property hydrate must be set externally. If true the BoosterImage is initialized.

source

• Type: Object

{
  format: '<output-format>', 
  src: '<file-path|url>', 
  sizes: { … }, 
  modifiers: { … }, 
  preset: { … }, 
  provider: '<provider>',
  densities: '<densities>'
}

format

Sets the image output format.

Available formats:

• avif
• webp
• png
• jpg

WARNING

Important: Note that if you specify src without a file extension, the format must be included.

src

Information on property src can be found at here.

sizes

Describes the image sizes in which the resource should be displayed. The image sizes are passed as an object and describe with the key-value pairs the image width and the width of the viewport depending on it, e.g. ImageWidth:MinWidth.

The image width, is definied by screens option from @nuxt/image

Example

In the following example, one image with two different image sizes by breakpoints and output format is webp.

[
  { format: 'webp', src: '/img/image.jpg', sizes: { default: '100vw', sm: '100vw' } }
]
