nuxt-image-directus

This Nuxt module provides a DirectusImg helper component for displaying images from a Directus instance. It also supports full static site generation by downloading all of the images on pre-rendered pages to a local directory and replaces the image source to the local path so the images can be statically served with the rest of the site.

Features

• Display an image from your Directus instance by specifying it's file ID

<DirectusImg src="6e0232e9-3a1c-4559-873e-f5a67cac8308" />

• Add the width and/or height properties and the image will be resized by Directus

<DirectusImg src="6e0232e9-3a1c-4559-873e-f5a67cac8308" width="400" />

• Add the quality, fit, and/or format properties

<DirectusImg src="6e0232e9-3a1c-4559-873e-f5a67cac8308" width="400" height="200" fit="cover" format="png" quality="80" />

• Add any additional advanced transformations supported by Directus' built-in sharp library:

<DirectusImg src="6e0232e9-3a1c-4559-873e-f5a67cac8308" width="400" :transforms="[['rotate', 180], ['blur', 10]]" />

Quick Setup

1. Add nuxt-image-directus dependency to your project

# Using pnpm
pnpm add -D nuxt-image-directus

# Using yarn
yarn add --dev nuxt-image-directus

# Using npm
npm install --save-dev nuxt-image-directus

2. Add nuxt-image-directus to the modules section of nuxt.config.ts

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    'nuxt-image-directus'
  ]
})

3. Set the URL to your Directus instance (and add a static access token if needed for Authentication)

• Added to the nuxt.config.ts file

export default defineNuxtConfig({
  modules: [
    'nuxt-image-directus'
  ],
  nuxtImageDirectus: {
    baseURL: 'https://yourdirectus.com',    // REQUIRED url to your Directus instance
    token: '0123456789abcdef'               // OPTIONAL static access token for authentication
  }
})

• OR set as environment variables (such as in a .env file)

DIRECTUS_URL=https://yourdirectus.com
DIRECTUS_TOKEN=0123456789abcdef

Usage

When running Nuxt in development mode or in the standard SSR/hybrid mode, the image will be linked directly to Directus. When running nuxi generate, all of the images in the pre-rendered routes will be downloaded and linked to the local static images.
