Cloudimage Angular Plugin

Cloudimage Responsive plugin will resize, compress and accelerate images across the World in your Angular application. It leverages the HTML5 <picture> and srcset elements to deliver the right image size based on the client's screen size and pixel ratio (retina or non-retina).

NOTE: Your original (master) images should be stored on a server or storage bucket (S3, Google Cloud, Azure Blob...) reachable over HTTP or HTTPS by Cloudimage. If you want to upload your master images to Cloudimage, contact us at [e-mail].

Demo

To see the Cloudimage Responsive plugin in action, please check out the Demo page. Play with your browser's viewport size and observe your Inspector's Network tab to see how Cloudimage delivers the optimal image size to your browser, hence accelerating the overall page loading time.

Installation

$ npm install --save ng-cloudimage-responsive

And then include it in your module (see app.module.ts):

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { CIModule, CIService, CIConfig } from 'ng-cloudimage-responsive';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';

const ciConfig = {
  token: 'demo',
  baseUrl: 'https://jolipage.airstore.io/'
};

@NgModule({
    declarations: [ AppComponent ],
    imports: [ BrowserModule, CIModule ],
    providers: [
      {provide: CIConfig, useValue: ciConfig},
      CIService
    ],
    bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class MyAppModule {}

Simple Usage

<ci-img src="img.jpg" alt="Demo image" ratio="1.5"></ci-img>

Note: as you see, using the Cloudimage plugin is very easy - just use the ci-img instead of the img tag.

filters

Type: String | Default: 'n' | optional

Parameters like fcontrast, fpixelate, fgaussian, backtransparent, rotation to apply filters on your image by default

placeholderBackground

Type: String | Default: '#f4f4f4' | optional

Parameters like fcontrast, fpixelate, fgaussian, backtransparent, rotation to apply filters on your image by default

baseUrl

operation/o

see doc

Type: String | Default: width | optional

width - to resize with a specific width

height - to resize with a specific height

crop - to crop the image at the center

fit - to resize the image in a box and keeping the proportions of the source image

cover - to resize the image in a box without keeping the proportions of the source image

size/s

Type: String/Object | optional

Size of an image which is used as a base for creating retina ready and responsive image element.

Examples (PR - stands for your device Pixel Ratio):

[width]: s="250" => width: 250 * PR (px); height: auto;

[width x height]: s="125x200" => width: 125 * PR (px); height: 200 * PR (px);

[Width and height for different screen resolutions]:

s={{ xs: '50x100', sm:'100x125', md: '150x150', lg:'200x175', xl:'300x200' }}

*You can drop some breakpoints, for example s={{ sm:'100x125', xl:'300x200' }}

NOTE: if size is set to undefined, Cloudimage uses a special algorithm to detect the width of image container and set the image size accordingly.

filters/f

see doc

Type: String | Default: none | optional

Filters allow you to modify the image's apperance and can be added on top of the resizing features above.

fgrey - apply a greyscale filter on the image

fgaussian[0..10] - apply a gaussian blur filter on the image

fcontrast[-100..100] - apply a contrast filter on the image

fbright[0..255] - apply a brightness filter on the image

fpixelate[0..100] - apply a pixelate filter on the image
