@unpic/astro v0.0.46

@unpic/astro

A high-performance, responsive image service and component library for Astro. Generates a responsive <img> tag that follows best practices, with the correct srcset, sizes and styles. Detects image URLs from most image CDNs and CMSs and can resize images with no build step.

@unpic/astro has two parts, which can be used independently but work best together:

• A component library which provides a <Image> component and a <Source> component for art direction.
• An Astro image service, which allows you to use the regular Astro Image component unchanged, and have it automatically generate the correct srcset and attributes for all images.

Features

• Just an <img> tag! No extra elements, no runtime JavaScript. Easy to style.
• Automatically generates correct srcset and sizes attributes for responsive images
• Handles responsive resizing of images, preserving aspect ratio
• Uses native lazy loading and aync decoding for offscreen images
• Handles different image layouts: fixed, constrained and full width
• Uses eager loading and high priority fetching for important images
• Delivers modern image formats, including WebP and AVIF if supported by your browser
• No built step or server-side rendering required: uses your existing image CDN or CMS, with no additional configuration
• Supports most image CDNs and headless CMSs, including Cloudinary, Contentful, Imgix, and Shopify
• Generates image placeholders to display while images are loading.
