Usage

Documentation: Using loaders

var url = require("image!./file.png");
// => emits file.png as a compressed file in the output directory and returns the public url
// => returns i. e. "/public-path/file.png"

By default the filename is the md5 hash of the file and the extension of the required resource is appended.

You can configure a custom filename template for your file (query param name).

• [optimizationLevel] png - Select an optimization level between 0 and 7.
• [progressive] jpg - Lossless conversion to progressive.
• [interlaced] gif - Interlace gif for progressive rendering.

Examples

require("image?optimizationLevel=5");

require("image?progressive=true");

require("image?interlaced=true");

require("image?optimizationLevel=5&progressive=true&interlaced=true");

loaders: [
  {test: /.*\.(gif|png|jpg)$/, loaders: ['image?optimizationLevel=7&interlaced=false']}
]

options

Options are applied to the correct files.

optimizationLevel (png)

Type: number
Default: 3

Select an optimization level between 0 and 7.

The optimization level 0 enables a set of optimization operations that require minimal effort. There will be no changes to image attributes like bit depth or color type, and no recompression of existing IDAT datastreams. The optimization level 1 enables a single IDAT compression trial. The trial chosen is what. OptiPNG thinks it’s probably the most effective. The optimization levels 2 and higher enable multiple IDAT compression trials; the higher the level, the more trials.

Level and trials:

1. 1 trial
2. 8 trials
3. 16 trials
4. 24 trials
5. 48 trials
6. 120 trials
7. 240 trials

progressive (jpg)

Type: boolean
Default: false

Lossless conversion to progressive.

interlaced (gif)

Type: boolean
Default: false

Interlace gif for progressive rendering.

svgoPlugins (svg)

Type: array Default: []

No plugins implemented at the moment.
