strapi-thumbhash v0.1.6

Strapi plugin strapi-thumbhash

A plugin for Strapi CMS that generates ThumbHash for your uploaded images.

This plugin works similarly to strapi-blurhash, except:

• It's rewritten in TypeScript
• It saves the hash as binary using JSON format (UInt8Array)
• It includes GraphQL Schema helper to resolve fields thumbHashBin as [Int] and thumbHashDataUrl as String

Installation

To install, run:

npm install strapi-thumbhash

Open/create file config/plugins.js. Enable this plugin by adding:

module.exports = {
    ...
    'strapi-thumbhash': {
      enabled: true,
      config: {
        // Set recreateOnBootStrap to true if you'd like to generate all hashes
        // on bootstrap. Depending on the amount of files, it may take some time.
        // It won't recreate hashes if they already exist.
        recreateOnBootStrap: true,
        regenerateOnUpdate: true
      }
    },
  }

How to generate thumbhash for an image

In the Strapi Dashboard open Content Manager. Edit one collection/single type. Add or edit a Media field type and save the collection/single type.

How to get thumbhash

Target a Strapi REST API endpoint. For example:

localhost:1337/api/products?populate=Image.*

The response will be a JSON containing thumbhash along with rest of the image data:

GraphQL

In order to use GraphqlResolvers, in your src/index.ts file of your Strapi project:

import ThumbHashGraphql from 'strapi-thumbhash/server/graphql';

export default {
  register({ strapi }: any) {
    // ....
    strapi.plugin('graphql').service('extension').use(ThumbHashGraphql);
  },
  // ..
};
