Getting Started with CldImage
The CldImage component provides an easy way to deliver images from Cloudinary with the same experience you’d expect inside of a SvelteKit app.
With it comes access to more advanced features like dynamic cropping, background removal, overlays, and other Cloudinary transformations.
As CldImage is a wrapper around the Unpic Image component, you also gain access to all built-in Image component features will work out-of-the-box like Responsive Sizing.
Basic Usage
The basic required props include width, height, src, and alt:
<script>
import { CldImage } from 'svelte-cloudinary';
</script>
<CldImage
width="960"
height="600"
src="<Public ID>"
sizes="100vw"
alt="Description of my image"
/>The src property takes in a Cloudinary Public ID which includes the folder path along with the ID of the image itself.
The width and the height should represent the rendered size and the alt value should be a text-based description
of the image.
The sizes prop is optional, but recommended for Responsive Sizing.
Transformations
You can further take advantage of Cloudinary features like background removal and overlays by adding additional props:
<script>
import { CldImage } from 'svelte-cloudinary';
</script>
<CldImage
width="500"
height="500"
src="<Public ID>"
crop="fill"
removeBackground
tint="70:blue:green:purple"
underlay="<Public ID>"
sizes="100vw"
alt="Description of my image"
/>Using Cloudinary URLs
CldImage supports passing a fully qualified Cloudinary URL as the src, however, it
must include a version number (/v1234) in order to be correctly parsed.
<script>
import { CldImage } from 'svelte-cloudinary';
</script>
<CldImage
width="500"
height="500"
src="https://res.cloudinary.com/mycloud/image/upload/v1234/myimage"
alt="Description of my image"
/>Preserving URL Transformations
If using a full Cloudinary URL, you might already have transformations applied to your image.
To preserve those transformations, you can apply the preserveTransformations property:
<script>
import { CldImage } from 'svelte-cloudinary';
</script>
<CldImage
width="600"
height="600"
src="https://res.cloudinary.com/mycloud/image/upload/w_100,h_200,c_fill/v1234/myimage"
preserveTransformations
alt="Description of my image"
/>
