This package is a fork of gatsby-plugin-imgix developed by Angelo Ashmore. The original package has been replaced by @imgix/gatsby

The official Imgix plugin is based on this package and includes additional features such as gatsby-plugin-image support. Please migrate to @imgix/gatsby.

This repository and npm package exist for those who still need to use the old version for some reason. This version should not be used in new projects. The original package was forked to override dependency incopatibility with gatsby. I arsinclair don't have an intention to further develop this plugin, only to ensure that it can still be installed and ran alongside newer gatsby versions. As the BSD 2-clause license states, this package should be used at your own risk.

gatsby-plugin-imgix-legacy

Gatsby plugin which enables the use of Imgix to apply image transformations at request-time.

For most cases, this plugin can replace the use of gatsby-transformer-sharp and speed up your build times significantly.

How to use

// gatsby-config.js

module.exports = {
  plugins: [
    {
      resolve: 'gatsby-plugin-imgix-legacy',
      options: {
        // Imgix source domain. This is required.
        domain: 'example-domain.imgix.net',

        // Imgix source secure URL token. Providing this will automatically
        // secure all of your image URLs. This is required if your source type
        // is a Web Proxy.
        // See: https://docs.imgix.com/setup/securing-images
        //
        // Note that this is a private key and should be hidden behind an
        // environment variable.
        // See: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/environment-variables/#server-side-nodejs
        secureUrlToken: process.env.IMGIX_SECURE_URL_TOKEN,

        // Imgix source type. If your source type is a Web Proxy, set this to
        // "webProxy". Otherwise, you may omit this field. URLs provided to the
        // plugin will automatically be converted to a Web Proxy-compatible URL
        // if set to "webProxy".
        sourceType: 'webProxy',

        // List of fields to copy into `fields` as Imgix images. You may list
        // as many fields as needed.
        fields: [
          {
            // The node type containing the image to copy.
            nodeType: 'MarkdownRemark',

            // Name of the new field to create. If you set this to
            // "featuredImage", a field at `fields.featuredImage` will be
            // created.
            fieldName: 'featuredImage',

            // Function to get the URL in the node. This function should return
            // the URL as a string. If your field contains an array of URLs,
            // change the `getUrl` option name to `getUrls`.
            getUrl: (node) => node.frontmatter.featured_image,
          },
        ],
      },
    },
  ],
}

How to query

Fields setup in your configuration are copied into a fields property on the image's node.

For example, a ShopifyProduct node with an image field named featuredImage could be queried like the following:

Note: Learn to use the GraphQL tool and Ctrl+Spacebar at http://localhost:8000/___graphql to discover the types and properties of your GraphQL model.

query {
  allShopifyProduct {
    nodes {
      id
      fields {
        featuredImage {
          url
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

fields is a special Gatsby field reserved for plugins to add data to existing nodes. If fields does not already exist on your node, it will be added automatically.

See the documentation for createNodeField for more information.

Query image URLs with transformations

Imgix image transformations are applied via URL parameters. The url field accepts an imgixParams argument to build a URL with the provided parameters.

query {
  allShopifyProduct {
    nodes {
      id
      fields {
        featuredImage {
          # 800px width and grayscale
          url(imgixParams: { w: 800, sat: -100 })
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Query responsive images

Responsive images to display using gatsby-image can be queried using the fixed or fluid field.

Use this pattern where ...ImageFragment is one of the following fragments:

• GatsbyImgixFixed
• GatsbyImgixFixed_noBase64
• GatsbyImgixFluid
• GatsbyImgixFluid_noBase64

Learn about the different types of responsive images and fragments from gatsby-image’s official docs.

query {
  allShopifyProduct {
    nodes {
      id
      fields {
        featuredImage {
          fluid {
            ...ImageFragment
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Full example:

query {
  allShopifyProduct {
    nodes {
      id
      fields {
        featuredImage {
          fluid(maxWidth: 1000, maxHeight: 800) {
            ...GatsbyImgixFluid
          }
        }
      }
    }
  }
}

Programmatic use

The following functions are provided to build a gatsby-image-compatible object for fixed and fluid responsive images. These functions are used internally by this plugin to build the gatsby-image objects.

For plugin developers

gatsby-plugin-imgix-legacy can be used to provide gatsby-image support to your Imgix-backed plugin. Source plugins that serve Imgix URLs, such as gatsby-source-prismic, use this plugin for drop-in support of GraphQL-based image transformations.

The following functions can be used to integrate gatsby-plugin-imgix-legacy with your plugin.

All field config creators generate configs that can be provided to Gatsby's type builders.

createImgixTypes

Creates all types needed by the field config generators, including the shared Fixed and Fluid object types and interfaces.

All types returned by this function must be created to use the field creators. Alternatively, each type can be created individually using the exported functions.

import { GatsbyNode } from 'gatsby'
import { createImgixTypes } from 'gatsby-plugin-imgix-legacy'

export const createSchemaCustomization: GatsbyNode['createSchemaCustomization'] = async (
  gatsbyContext: CreateSchemaCustomizationArgs,
) => {
  const { actions, cache, schema } = gatsbyContext
  const { createTypes } = actions

  const imgixTypes = createImgixTypes({ cache, schema })

  createTypes(imgixTypes)
}

createImgixUrlFieldConfig

Creates a GraphQL field config object that resolves an Imgix URL string to one with URL parameters.

import { GatsbyNode } from 'gatsby'
import { createImgixUrlFieldConfig } from 'gatsby-plugin-imgix-legacy'

export const createSchemaCustomization: GatsbyNode['createSchemaCustomization'] = async (
  gatsbyContext: CreateSchemaCustomizationArgs,
) => {
  const { actions, schema } = gatsbyContext
  const { createTypes } = actions

  const ProductType = schema.buildObjectType({
    name: 'Product',
    fields: {
      imageUrl: createImgixUrlFieldConfig({
        resolveUrl: (node) => node.image,
      }),
    },
  })

  createTypes(ProductType)
}

createImgixFixedFieldConfig

Creates a GraphQL field config object that resolves an Imgix URL string to a gatsby-image-compatible FixedObject.

import { GatsbyNode } from 'gatsby'
import { createImgixFixedFieldConfig } from 'gatsby-plugin-imgix-legacy'

export const createSchemaCustomization: GatsbyNode['createSchemaCustomization'] = async (
  gatsbyContext: CreateSchemaCustomizationArgs,
) => {
  const { actions, cache, schema } = gatsbyContext
  const { createTypes } = actions

  const ProductType = schema.buildObjectType({
    name: 'Product',
    fields: {
      imageFixed: createImgixFixedFieldConfig({
        resolveUrl: (node) => node.image,
        cache,
      }),
    },
  })

  createTypes(ProductType)
}

createImgixFluidFieldConfig

Creates a GraphQL field config object that resolves an Imgix URL string to a gatsby-image-compatible FluidObject.

import { GatsbyNode } from 'gatsby'
import { createImgixFluidFieldConfig } from 'gatsby-plugin-imgix-legacy'

export const createSchemaCustomization: GatsbyNode['createSchemaCustomization'] = async (
  gatsbyContext: CreateSchemaCustomizationArgs,
) => {
  const { actions, cache, schema } = gatsbyContext
  const { createTypes } = actions

  const ProductType = schema.buildObjectType({
    name: 'Product',
    fields: {
      imageFluid: createImgixFluidFieldConfig({
        resolveUrl: (node) => node.image,
        cache,
      }),
    },
  })

  createTypes(ProductType)
}
