Create Custom Provider

Provider Entry

The runtime will receive a source, image modifiers and its provider options. It is responsible for generating a url for optimized images, and needs to be isomorphic because it may be called on either server or client.

import { joinURL } from 'ufo'
// import {} from '~image'

export function getImage(src, { modifiers, baseURL } = {}) {
  const { width, height, format, fit, ...providerModifiers } = modifiers
  const operations = []
  // process modifiers
  const operationsString = operations.join(',')
  return {
    url: joinURL(baseURL, operationsString, src)
  }
}

Parameters

src: Source path of the image.
modifiers: List of image modifiers that are defined in the image component or as a preset.
options: runtimeOptions returned by the main provider.

Return

url: Absolute or relative url of optimized image.
isStatic: A boolean value that determines whether the image should generate on static generation or not. If it is true during nuxt generate this image will be downloaded and saved in generate.outDir to be served as a static image.

Use your provider

Register provider

After you create your own provider, you should register it in the nuxt.config. In order to do that create a property inside image.provider.

export default {
  ...
  image: {
    providers: {
      customProvider: {
        name: 'customProvider', // optional value to overrider provider name
        provider: '~/providers/custom', // Path to custom provider
        options: {
          // ... provider options
        }
      }
    }
  }
}
