Configure Cloudinary
You can configure Cloudinary by passing your cloud name, accessible from your Cloudinary Dashboard. This configuration will generate an object that allows you to access the various methods from the library. Remember to replace tutorials in this example with your own cloud name: |
|
Add an image
Create a variable to store the image reference. Use the image method, which accepts the asset's public ID (the identifier of a Cloudinary image) as its parameter. You can view this sample image of a sneaker with public ID cld-sample-5 inside your Media Library. |
|
Optimize the image
Configure your image to be automatically delivered in the best format for the requesting browser and optimized for compression, resulting in the smallest file size while maintaining visual quality. | |
Render the image
Use a simple image tag with the image.toURL() method, placing the image's delivery URL in the src attribute of the image tag. Verify the delivery URL through Developer Tools to ensure Cloudinary delivers the image with the f_auto and q_auto qualifiers. |
