Generate <img> markup block for an image.

Project description

A module to generate performant HTML image markup for images. The markup will:

  • Use data-src attributes for lazysizes

  • Use predefined srcset break points

  • Resize assets.ubuntu.com images with ?w=XX&h=XX query parameters

  • Prefix all image URLs with cloudinary proxy URLs, for CDN and image transformations

Parameters

  • url (mandatory string): The url to an image (e.g. https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/9f6916dd-k8s-prometheus-light.png)

  • alt (mandatory string): Alt text to describe the image

  • width (mandatory integer): The number of pixels wide the image should be

  • height (mandatory integer): The number of pixels high the image should be

  • hi_def (mandatory boolean): Has an image been uploaded 2x the width and height of the desired size

  • extra_classes (optional): Class string to add to img element

  • extra attributes (optional): Extra <img> attributes (e.g. id) can be passed as additional arguments

Usage

The image_template function can be used directly to generate image Markup.

from canonicalwebteam import image_template

image_markup = image_template(
    url="https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/9f6916dd-k8s-prometheus-light.png",
    alt="Operational dashboard",
    width="1040",
    height="585",
    hi_def=True
)

However, the most common usage is to add it to Django or Flask template contexts, as an image function.

Add lazysizes

The markup generated will use lazysizes format - it will use data-src instead of src and add the lazyload class.

Therefore to use this plugin you need to have lazysizes loaded on your pages. The simplest way to achieve this is to include this in your <head>:

<script src="https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/842d27d3-lazysizes.min.js" async=""></script>

Django usage

Add it as a template tag:

# myapp/templatetags.py

from canonicalwebteam import image_template
from django import template
from django.utils.safestring import mark_safe


register = template.Library()

@register.simple_tag
def image(*args, **kwargs):
    return mark_safe(image_template(*args, **kwargs))


# settings.py

TEMPLATES[0]["OPTIONS"]["builtins"].append("myapp.templatetags")

Use it in templates:

# templates/mytemplate.html

{% image url="https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/9f6916dd-k8s-prometheus-light.png" alt="Operational dashboard" width="1040" height="585" hi_def=True %}

Flask usage

Add it as a template tag:

# app.py

from canonicalwebteam import image_template
from flask import Flask

app = Flask(__name__)

@app.context_processor
def utility_processor():
    return {"image": image_template}

Use it in templates:

# templates/mytemplate.html

{{
  image(
    url="https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/9f6916dd-k8s-prometheus-light.png",
    alt="Operational dashboard",
    width="1040",
    height="585",
    hi_def: True,
  ) | safe
}}

Generated markup

All the above examples will generate the following markup:

<img
  data-srcset="https://res.cloudinary.com/canonical/image/fetch/q_auto,f_auto,fl_sanitize,w_2080,h_1170/https%3A//assets.ubuntu.com/v1/9f6916dd-k8s-prometheus-light.png x2"
  data-src="https://res.cloudinary.com/canonical/image/fetch/q_auto,f_auto,fl_sanitize,w_1040,h_585/https%3A//assets.ubuntu.com/v1/9f6916dd-k8s-prometheus-light.png"
  alt="Operational dashboard"
  width="1040"
  height="585"
  class="lazyload"
/>

    src="https://res.cloudinary.com/canonical/image/fetch/q_auto,f_auto,fl_sanitize,w_1040,h_585/https%3A//assets.ubuntu.com/v1/9f6916dd-k8s-prometheus-light.png"
    alt="Operational dashboard"
    width="1040"
    height="585"
  />
