How to use in Next.js

  1. In next.config.js add the following:
module.exports = {
  images: {
    loader: 'custom',
    loaderFile: './loader.js',
  },
}
  1. Create a file called loader.js in the root of your project and add the following:
'use client'

export default function myImageLoader({ src, width, quality }) {
    const isLocal = !src.startsWith('http');
    const query = new URLSearchParams();

    const imageOptimizationApi = '<image-optimization-domain>';
    // Your NextJS application URL
    const baseUrl = '<your-nextjs-app-domain>';

    const fullSrc = `${baseUrl}${src}`;

    if (width) query.set('width', width);
    if (quality) query.set('quality', quality);

    if (isLocal && process.env.NODE_ENV === 'development') {
        return src;
    }
    if (isLocal) {
        return `${imageOptimizationApi}/${fullSrc}?${query.toString()}`;
    }
    return `${imageOptimizationApi}/${src}?${query.toString()}`;
}
  • Replace <image-optimization-domain> with the URL of what you set on the Next Image Transformation API.
  • Replace <your-nextjs-app-domain> with the URL of your Nextjs application.
