Image Service API

astro:assets was designed to make it easy for any image optimization service to build a service on top of Astro.

What is an Image Service?

Astro provides two types of image services: Local and External.

Local services handle image transformations directly at build for static sites, or at runtime both in development mode and SSR. These are often wrappers around libraries like Sharp, ImageMagick, or Squoosh. In dev mode and in SSR, local services use an API endpoint to do the transformation.
External services point to URLs and can add support for services such as Cloudinary, Vercel, or any RIAPI-compliant server.

Building using the Image Services API

Service definitions take the shape of an exported default object with various required methods (“hooks”).

External services provide a getURL() that points to the src of the output <img> tag.

Local services provide a transform() method to perform transformations on your image, and getURL() and parseURL() methods to use an endpoint for dev mode and SSR.

Both types of services can provide getHTMLAttributes() to determine the other attributes of the output <img> and validateOptions() to validate and augment the passed options.

External Services

An external service points to a remote URL to be used as the src attribute of the final <img> tag. This remote URL is responsible for downloading, transforming, and returning the image.

import type { ExternalImageService, ImageTransform, AstroConfig } from "astro";

const service: ExternalImageService = {
  validateOptions(options: ImageTransform, imageConfig: AstroConfig['image']) {
    const serviceConfig = imageConfig.service.config;

    // Enforce the user set max width.
    if (options.width > serviceConfig.maxWidth) {
      console.warn(`Image width ${options.width} exceeds max width ${serviceConfig.maxWidth}. Falling back to max width.`);
      options.width = serviceConfig.maxWidth;
    }

    return options;
  },
  getURL(options, imageConfig) {
    return `https://mysupercdn.com/${options.src}?q=${options.quality}&w=${options.width}&h=${options.height}`;
  },
  getHTMLAttributes(options, imageConfig) {
    const { src, format, quality, ...attributes } = options;
    return {
      ...attributes,
      loading: options.loading ?? 'lazy',
      decoding: options.decoding ?? 'async',
    };
  }
};


export default service;

Local Services

To create your own local service, you can point to the built-in endpoint (/_image), or you can additionally create your own endpoint that can call the service’s methods.

import type { LocalImageService, AstroConfig } from "astro";

const service: LocalImageService = {
  getURL(options: ImageTransform, imageConfig: AstroConfig['image']) {
    const searchParams = new URLSearchParams();
    searchParams.append('href', typeof options.src === "string" ? options.src : options.src.src);
    options.width && searchParams.append('w', options.width.toString());
    options.height && searchParams.append('h', options.height.toString());
    options.quality && searchParams.append('q', options.quality.toString());
    options.format && searchParams.append('f', options.format);
    return `/my_custom_endpoint_that_transforms_images?${searchParams}`;
    // Or use the built-in endpoint, which will call your parseURL and transform functions:
    // return `/_image?${searchParams}`;
  },
  parseURL(url: URL, imageConfig) {
    return {
      src: params.get('href')!,
      width: params.has('w') ? parseInt(params.get('w')!) : undefined,
      height: params.has('h') ? parseInt(params.get('h')!) : undefined,
      format: params.get('f'),
      quality: params.get('q'),
    };
  },
  transform(buffer: Uint8Array, options: { src: string, [key: string]: any }, imageConfig): { data: Uint8Array, format: OutputFormat } {
    const { buffer } = mySuperLibraryThatEncodesImages(options);
    return {
      data: buffer,
      format: options.format,
    };
  },
  getHTMLAttributes(options, imageConfig) {
    let targetWidth = options.width;
    let targetHeight = options.height;
    if (typeof options.src === "object") {
      const aspectRatio = options.src.width / options.src.height;

      if (targetHeight && !targetWidth) {
        targetWidth = Math.round(targetHeight * aspectRatio);
      } else if (targetWidth && !targetHeight) {
        targetHeight = Math.round(targetWidth / aspectRatio);
      }
    }

    const { src, width, height, format, quality, ...attributes } = options;

    return {
      ...attributes,
      width: targetWidth,
      height: targetHeight,
      loading: attributes.loading ?? 'lazy',
      decoding: attributes.decoding ?? 'async',
    };
  }
};
export default service;

At build time for static sites and pre-rendered routes, both <Image /> and getImage(options) call the transform() function. They pass options either through component attributes or an options argument, respectively. The transformed images will be built to a dist/_astro folder.

In dev mode and SSR mode, Astro doesn’t know ahead of time which images need to be optimized. Astro uses a GET endpoint (by default, /_image) to process the images at runtime. <Image /> and getImage() pass their options to getURL(), which will return the endpoint URL. Then, the endpoint calls parseURL() and passes the resulting properties to transform().

getConfiguredImageService & imageConfig

If you implement your own endpoint as an Astro endpoint, you can use getConfiguredImageService and imageConfig to call your service’s parseURL and transform methods and provide the image config.

To access the image service config (image.service.config), you can use imageConfig.service.config.

import type { APIRoute } from "astro";
import { getConfiguredImageService, imageConfig } from 'astro:assets';

export const GET: APIRoute = async ({ request }) => {
  const imageService = await getConfiguredImageService();

  const imageTransform = imageService.parseURL(new URL(request.url), imageConfig);
  // ... fetch the image from imageTransform.src and store it in inputBuffer
  const { data, format } = await imageService.transform(inputBuffer, imageTransform, imageConfig);
  return new Response(data, {
      status: 200,
      headers: {
        'Content-Type': mime.getType(format) || ''
      }
    }
  );
}

See the built-in endpoint for a full example.

Hooks

`getURL()`

Required for local and external services

getURL(options: ImageTransform, imageConfig: AstroConfig['image']): string

For local services, this hook returns the URL of the endpoint that generates your image (in SSR and dev mode). It is unused during build. The local endpoint that getURL() points to may call both parseURL() and transform().

For external services, this hook returns the final URL of the image.

For both types of services, options are the properties passed by the user as attributes of the <Image /> component or as options to getImage(). They are of the following type:

export type ImageTransform = {
    // ESM imported images | remote/public image paths
    src: ImageMetadata | string;
    width?: number;
    height?: number;
    widths?: number[] | undefined;
    densities?: (number | `${number}x`)[] | undefined;
    quality?: ImageQuality;
    format?: OutputFormat;
    alt?: string;
    [key: string]: any;
};

`parseURL()`

Required for local services; unavailable for external services

parseURL(url: URL, imageConfig: AstroConfig['image']): { src: string, [key: string]: any}

This hook parses the generated URLs by getURL() back into an object with the different properties to be used by transform (in SSR and dev mode). It is unused during build.

`transform()`

Required for local services only; unavailable for external services

transform(buffer: Uint8Array, options: { src: string, [key: string]: any }, imageConfig: AstroConfig['image']): { data: Uint8Array, format: OutputFormat }

This hook transforms and returns the image and is called during the build to create the final asset files.

You must return a format to ensure that the proper MIME type is served to users in SSR and development mode.

`getHTMLAttributes()`

Optional for both local and external services

getHTMLAttributes(options: ImageTransform, imageConfig: AstroConfig['image']): Record<string, any>

This hook returns all additional attributes used to render the image as HTML, based on the parameters passed by the user (options).

`getSrcSet()`

أُضيفت في: astro@3.3.0 Experimental

Optional for both local and external services.

getSrcSet?: (options: ImageTransform, imageConfig: AstroConfig['image']): SrcSetValue[] | Promise<SrcSetValue[]>;

This hook generates multiple variants of the specified image, for example, to generate a srcset attribute on an <img> or <picture>’s source.

This hook returns an array of objects with the following properties:

export type SrcSetValue = {
  transform: ImageTransform;
  descriptor?: string;
  attributes?: Record<string, any>;
};

`validateOptions()`

Optional for both local and external services

validateOptions(options: ImageTransform, imageConfig: AstroConfig['image']): ImageTransform

This hook allows you to validate and augment the options passed by the user. This is useful for setting default options, or telling the user that a parameter is required.

See how validateOptions() is used in Astro built-in services.

User configuration

Configure the image service to use in astro.config.mjs. The config takes the following form:

import { defineConfig } from "astro/config";

export default defineConfig({
  image: {
    service: {
      entrypoint: "your-entrypoint", // 'astro/assets/services/squoosh' | 'astro/assets/services/sharp' | string,
      config: {
        // ... service-specific config. Optional.
      }
    }
  },
});
