🎯 Key Modes Explained

  1. Base64 Conversion πŸ”„ Convert images to Base64 format directly in your application. This is useful for embedding images inline or when you need to ensure that images are included with your HTML or CSS.

Sample Code:

   import Img from 'universal-img-component';

   function App() {
     return (
       <div>
         <h2>Base64 Mode</h2>
         <Img 
           src="https://via.placeholder.com/150" 
           alt="placeholder" 
           mode="base64" 
           width="300px" 
           height="300px" 
         />
       </div>
     );
   }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. CDN Optimization 🌐 Leverage the ImageCDN service to optimize and deliver images efficiently. This mode is ideal for improving performance and scalability, especially when handling a large number of images.

Sample Code:

   import Img from 'universal-img-component';

   function App() {
     return (
       <div>
         <h2>CDN Mode</h2>
         <Img 
           src="https://via.placeholder.com/150" 
           alt="placeholder" 
           mode="cdn" 
           width="300px" 
           height="300px" 
         />
       </div>
     );
   }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Text-Based Images πŸ“ Create dynamic images with custom text using the Statically service. This mode allows you to generate images on-the-fly with personalized text and styling options.

Sample Code:

   import Img from 'universal-img-component';

   function App() {
     return (
       <div>
         <h2>Text-Based Image Mode</h2>
         <Img 
           text="Hello World" 
           mode="textbase" 
           fontsize="40px" 
           width="300px" 
           height="150px" 
         />
       </div>
     );
   }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Next.js Optimization πŸš€ For Next.js projects, this mode uses the built-in Image component from Next.js for optimized image loading and performance.

Sample Code:

   import Img from 'universal-img-component';

   function App() {
     return (
       <div>
         <h2>Next.js Mode</h2>
         <Img 
           src="https://via.placeholder.com/150" 
           alt="placeholder" 
           mode="next" 
           width="300px" 
           height="300px" 
         />
       </div>
     );
   }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode
  1. Normal Mode (Default) 🌟 Displays the image using the standard img tag. This mode is used when no special processing is required.

Sample Code:

   import Img from 'universal-img-component';

   function App() {
     return (
       <div>
         <h2>Normal Mode</h2>
         <Img 
           src="https://via.placeholder.com/150" 
           alt="placeholder" 
           mode="normal" 
           width="300px" 
           height="300px"
