# 📦 plugin-ideal-image
import APITable from '@site/src/components/APITable';
Docusaurus Plugin to generate an almost ideal image (responsive, lazy-loading, and low quality placeholder).
:::info
By default, the plugin is **inactive in development** so you could always view full-scale images. If you want to debug the ideal image behavior, you could set the [`disableInDev`](#disableInDev) option to `false`.
:::
## Installation {#installation}
```bash npm2yarn
npm install --save @docusaurus/plugin-ideal-image
```
## Usage {#usage}
This plugin supports the PNG and JPG formats only.
```jsx
import Image from '@theme/IdealImage';
import thumbnail from './path/to/img.png';
// your React code
<Image img={thumbnail} />
// or
<Image img={require('./path/to/img.png')} />
```
:::caution
This plugin registers a [Webpack loader](https://webpack.js.org/loaders/) that changes the type of imported/require images:
- Before: `string`
- After: `{preSrc: string, src: import("@theme/IdealImage").SrcImage}`
:::
## Configuration {#configuration}
Accepted fields:
```mdx-code-block
<APITable>
```
| Option | Type | Default | Description |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| `name` | `string` | `ideal-img/[name].[hash:hex:7].[width].[ext]` | Filename template for output files. |
| `sizes` | `number[]` | _original size_ | Specify all widths you want to use. If a specified size exceeds the original image's width, the latter will be used (i.e. images won't be scaled up). |
| `size` | `number` | _original size_ | Specify one width you want to use; if the specified size exceeds the original image's width, the latter will be used (i.e. images won't be scaled up) |
| `min` | `number` | | As an alternative to manually specifying `sizes`, you can specify `min`, `max` and `steps`, and the sizes will be generated for you. |
| `max` | `number` | | See `min` above |
| `steps` | `number` | `4` | Configure the number of images generated between `min` and `max` (inclusive) |
| `quality` | `number` | `85` | JPEG compression quality |
| `disableInDev` | `boolean` | `true` | You can test ideal image behavior in dev mode by setting this to `false`. **Tip**: use [network throttling](https://www.browserstack.com/guide/how-to-perform-network-throttling-in-chrome) in your browser to simulate slow networks. |
```mdx-code-block
</APITable>
```
### Example configuration {#ex-config}
Here's an example configuration:
```js title="docusaurus.config.js"
module.exports = {
plugins: [
[
'@docusaurus/plugin-ideal-image',
// highlight-start
{
quality: 70,
max: 1030, // max resized image's size.
min: 640, // min resized image's size. if original is lower, use that size.
steps: 2, // the max number of images generated between min and max (inclusive)
disableInDev: false,
},
// highlight-end
],
],
};
```
