hexo-tag-imgix

Support for imgix url substitution via a handy tag. Works in templates too.

_config.yml

Minimal options. This will effectively just substitute your internal urls for imgix urls, perhaps leveraging it as a CDN, or maybe you're putting the imgix query params directly on your image urls?

imgix:
  match: https://s3.amazonaws.com/example-bucket
  domain: example.imgix.net

All options. It can do a lot!

imgix:
  - 
    name: example
    match: https://s3.amazonaws.com/example-bucket
    domain: example.imgix.net
    secure_url: false
    srcset:
      scale: [ 0.5, 0.75, 1.00 ]
      sizes: 100vw
    params:
      w: 500
      h: 500
      blend: color
    filter: true
    tag: true
    helper: true
  - 
    name: uploads
    match: /assets/uploads
    domain: uploads.imgix.net
    secure_url: true
    srcset:
      scale: [ 0.5, 0.75, 1.00 ]
      sizes: (min-width: 36em) 33.3vw, 100vw
      min: 300
      max: 1000
    params:
      w: 800
    filter: false
    tag: true
    helper: false

Options

You can provide either a single "profile" object, or an array of profiles. Later profiles that define the same match will override earlier profiles.

• match*: A match string to test for domain substitution, applied to urls / paths provided to the tag/helper/filter. When a match is made this profile will be applied.
• domain*: An imgix domain, will be substituted for the match when the url is rebuilt
• name: If you provide a name you can reference this profile specifically in the helper. Useful if you have multiple profiles for the same match.
• securl_url: Whether this domain supports SSL
• srcset: If set, will create a scaled srcset on your output img tag
  • scale: Scaling values to use, 0.00-1.00
  • sizes: pushed straight into your images sizes attr
  • min: A minimum computed size to allow into your srcset
  • max: A maximum computed size to allow into your srcset
• filter: Enables the filter for this profile. It can upgrade image markup after rendering. Default is enabled.
• tag: Enables the tag for this profile. You can use this directly in markdown to manipulate images. Default is enabled.
• helper: Enables the template helper for this profile, which allows similar functionality in templates. Default is enabled.

* denotes a required property

Syntax

The syntax is almost identical to the Hexo img tag, but accepts colon-separated parameters in the space before the image url.

{% imgix [class names AND/OR params:values] /path/to/image [width] [height] ['title text' ['alt text']] %}

Usage

Minimal use in markdown

{% imgix https://s3.amazonaws.com/example-bucket/example.jpg %}

<img src="http://example.imgix.net/example.jpg" alt="" />

Sample args all

{% imgix blend:color inline-image https://s3.amazonaws.com/example-bucket/example.jpg 1000 500 "'This is a title'" "'This is alt text'" %}

<img src="http://example.imgix.net/example.jpg?w=1000&h=500&blend=color" class="inline-image" alt="This is alt text" title="This is a title" />

As a template helper, in ejs for example

<%- imgix(photo.src, { classes: ["class1", "class2"], attrs: { "height": 500, "width": 1000 }, params: { blend: "color" }, profile: "example" }) %>
<%- imgix_url(photo.src, { attrs: { "height": 500, "width": 1000 }, params: { blend: "color" }, profile: "example" }) %>

<img src="http://example.imgix.net/example.jpg?w=1000&h=500&blend=color" class="class1 class2" alt="" />
http://example.imgix.net/example.jpg?w=1000&h=500&blend=color

Suggestions

When using the filter processor I like to use hexo-markdown-it, along with the markdown-it-imsize plugin / module to specify image dimensions in my markdown, and generate source-size-aware imgix tags.
