rollup-plugin-image-base64

Import JPG, PNG, GIF and SVG files.

Fork of rollup-plugin-image to skip the part in which a new Image() is created and just return the base64 as String

Installation

npm install --save-dev rollup-plugin-image-base64

Usage

// rollup.config.js
import imageBase64 from 'rollup-plugin-image-base64';

export default {
  entry: 'src/index.js',
  dest: 'dist/my-lib.js',
  plugins: [
    imageBase64()
  ]
};

You can now use images in your bundle like so:

import logo from './rollup.png';

console.log(logo); // base64 of image as String

Images are encoded using base64, which means they will be 33% larger than the size on disk. You should therefore only use this for small images where the convenience of having them available on startup (e.g. rendering immediately to a canvas without co-ordinating asynchronous loading of several images) outweighs the cost.
