gatsby-transformer-kontent-image

Extends assets from Kentico Kontent to include fields that can be consumed by gatsby-image.

Install

npm install --save @rshackleton/gatsby-transformer-kontent-image

yarn add @rshackleton/gatsby-transformer-kontent-image

How to use

Add the plugin to your gatsby-config.js:

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `@rshackleton/gatsby-transformer-kontent-image`,
      options: {
        // See "Options" below.
      },
    },
  ],
};

Options

There are two main ways to use this plugin; remote or local. The default is remote.

Remote

The remote option will expose fixed, fluid and resize fields on the KontentAsset GraphQL type.

Fixed

The following arguments are available:

{
  allKontentItemArticle {
    nodes {
      elements {
        banner {
          value {
            fixed(width: 1000) {
              ...KontentAssetFixed
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

<GatsbyImage fixed={nodes[0].elements.banner.value[0].fixed} />

Fluid

The following arguments are available:

{
  allKontentItemArticle {
    nodes {
      elements {
        banner {
          value {
            fluid(maxWidth: 1000) {
              ...KontentAssetFluid
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

<GatsbyImage fluid={nodes[0].elements.banner.value[0].fluid} />

Resize

The following arguments are available:

The resize field can be used to just retrieve a single resized image URL - this isn't intended to be used with Gatsby Image.

Local

The plugin currently supports a single option to create local File nodes that can be further transformed by gatsby-transformer-sharp.

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: `@rshackleton/gatsby-transformer-kontent-image`,
      options: {
        local: true,
      },
    },
  ],
};

The plugin will include a localFile field on the KontentAsset GraphQL type. This will be processed by gatsby-transformer-sharp and used with the gatsby-image component.

{
  allKontentItemArticle {
    nodes {
      elements {
        banner {
          value {
            localFile {
              childImageSharp {
                fixed(width: 1000) {
                  ...GatsbyImageSharpFixed
                }
              }
            }
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

<GatsbyImage
  fixed={nodes[0].elements.banner.value[0].localFile.childImageSharp.fixed}
/>

The drawback to using local mode is the overhead introduced during the build as assets are downloaded from Kontent and processed by Sharp. This can easily add several minutes to builds with large numbers of image variants.

Fragments

The plugin provides several fragments for use in GraphQL queries:

fragment KontentAssetFixed on KontentAssetFixed {
  base64
  height
  src
  srcSet
  width
}

fragment KontentAssetFluid on KontentAssetFluid {
  aspectRatio
  base64
  sizes
  src
  srcSet
}

fragment KontentAssetFixed_withWebp on KontentAssetFixed {
  base64
  height
  src
  srcSet
  srcWebp
  srcSetWebp
  width
}

fragment KontentAssetFluid_withWebp on KontentAssetFluid {
  aspectRatio
  base64
  sizes
  src
  srcSet
  srcWebp
  srcSetWebp
}

fragment KontentAssetFixed_noBase64 on KontentAssetFixed {
  height
  src
  srcSet
  width
}

fragment KontentAssetFluid_noBase64 on KontentAssetFluid {
  aspectRatio
  sizes
  src
  srcSet
}

fragment KontentAssetFixed_withWebp_noBase64 on KontentAssetFixed {
  height
  src
  srcSet
  srcWebp
  srcSetWebp
  width
}

fragment KontentAssetFluid_withWebp_noBase64 on KontentAssetFluid {
  aspectRatio
  sizes
  src
  srcSet
  srcWebp
  srcSetWebp
}
