Add support for dynamic images

[mseele]

Is there any possibility to load dynamic images? I have the following use case:
I load a list of events from my headless cms. All events have an attribute title image that is named like an image i have in my assets folder. Now i want to use vite-plugin-image-presets with the picture vue sfc and the image described in the event attribute.
Is there any pattern i can use to do this?

My workaround is a sfc called DynamicPicture that looks like this:

<template>
  <Picture :src="src" />
</template>

<script setup lang="ts">
import { computed } from 'vue'

import event_img_1 from '@/assets/events/event_img_1.jpg?preset=full'
import event_img_2 from '@/assets/events/event_img_2.jpg?preset=full'
import event_img_3 from '@/assets/events/event_img_3.jpg?preset=full'

let assets = new Map<string, any>([
  ['event_img_1.jpg', event_img_1],
  ['event_img_2.jpg', event_img_2],
  ['event_img_3.jpg', event_img_3],
])

const props = defineProps({
  name: {
    type: String,
    required: true,
  },
})

const src = computed(() => assets.get(props.name))
</script>

It works. But i need to add a line of code every time i add a new event image into the assets directory (what happens sometimes).

Unfortunately, Vite currently does not support passing query parameters in glob imports, which would be an automatic way to generate a similar structure to the map in your example. It might add it in the future, perhaps you can suggest it as a feature request in Vite.

This plugin does provide a programmatic API that can be used directly:

const image = await images.api.resolveImage('@/assets/events/${imageName}`, { preset: 'full' })

For certain use cases this is a reasonable approach, such as when using extendFrontmatter in îles.

Moving this to discussions, feel free to ask additional questions.
