A react image renderer that uses the Contentful Images API.

Installation

$ npm install @moxy/react-contentful-image

This library is written in modern JavaScript and is published in both CommonJS and ES module transpiled variants. If you target older browsers please make sure to transpile accordingly.

Motivation

Contentful provides a very powerful Images API that besides retrieving image files, provides manipulation features such as resizing, cropping and compressing.

This react component returns a <picture> element. If no manipulations are made, the <picture> contains at least one <source> element, otherwise it will have two <source>. It also contains the native <img> as fallback for browsers that do not support the <picture> element.

Usage

import React from 'react';
import ContentfulImage from '@moxy/react-contentful-image';

const src = "//images.ctfassets.net/yadj1kx9rmg0/wtrHxeu3zEoEce2MokCSi/cf6f68efdcf625fdc060607df0f3baef/quwowooybuqbl6ntboz3.jpg";

const MyComponent = (props) => (
    <div {...props}>
        <ContentfulImage
            image={ src }
            format="png"
            resize={ { width: 100, height: 100 } } />
    </div>
);

export default MyComponent;

API

Besides the following supported props by the <ContentfulImage> component, additional props will be spread to the <img> element.

image

Type: string or object | Required: true

The actual image. It can be provided as an URL (string) or as a Contentful asset (object).

A Contentful asset usually has the following structure:

{
    // ...
    fields: {
        // ...
        file: {
            // ...
            url: 'my-image-url',
            // ...
        },
        // ...
    },
    // ...
}

Thus, you can pass it to this component and the image will be properly handled.

Example:

const src = 'my-image-url';

<ContentfulImage image={ src } />

or

const { image } = page.fields;

<ContentfulImage image={ image } />

format

Type: string | Required: false | Default: webp

The new format to convert the image. The possibilities are:

  • webp
  • jpg
  • png
  • progressive jpg
  • 8bit png

Example:

<ContentfulImage
    image={ src }
    format="progressive jpg" />

If no format prop is passed, this component will convert the image to webp by default as it provides small images weight with high visual quality. The example above will override this default value and will convert the image to progressive jpg. If you want to keep your image format with no conversions, please see optimize prop.

resize

Type: object | Required: false

Resizing configuration object. This object has the following shape:

  • width - Desired width
  • height - Desired height
  • behavior - Specifies the resizing behavior. The possible values are:
    • pad
    • fill
    • scale
    • crop
    • thumb
  • focusArea - Specifies the focus area when resizing. The possible values are:
    • top
    • right
    • bottom
    • left
    • center
    • top_right
    • top_left
    • bottom_right
    • bottom_left
    • face
    • faces

Example:

const resizeValues = {
    width: 100,
    height: 100,
    behavior: 'crop',
    focusArea: 'top_right'
};

// ...

<ContentfulImage
    image={ src }
    resize={ resizeValues } />

⚠️ Please, note the following warnings:

  • The maximum value for both width and height properties is 4000 pixels.
  • focusArea property won't have effect on the default or scale behavior.

cropRadius

Type: string or number | Required: false

Add rounded corners or create a circle/ellipsis. The possible values are:

  • max keyword - Creates a full circle/ellipsis
  • The size of the corner radius in pixels

Example:

<ContentfulImage
    image={ src }
    cropRadius="max" />

// or

<ContentfulImage
    image={ src }
    cropRadius={ 30 } />

quality

Type: number | Required: false

Sets the quality of the image. The value must be between 1 and 100.

Example:

<ContentfulImage
    image={ src }
    format="jpg"
    quality={ 10 } />

⚠️ This value will be ignored for 8-bit PNGs.

backgroundColor

Type: string | Required: false

Sets the background color when using cropRadius or the pad behavior. Color hex code is expected as the value.

Example:

<ContentfulImage
    image={ src }
    cropRadius="max"
    backgroundColor="#FFFFFF" />

optimize

Type: bool | Required: false | Default: true

If no format is passed, this component will use webp format as default. To convert to any other format, just use format prop to override the default value. If you want to keep your image with no format manipulations set this prop to false.

Example:

<ContentfulImage
    image={ src }
    optimize={ false } />
