Plugin Configuration

The CloudinaryVue Plugin accepts a components object with the Cloudinary components to install

• components can also be passed as an array:

  components:[CldImage. CldTransformation]

          myTransformation : CldTransformation
      }

In order to properly use this library you have to provide it with a few configuration parameters. All configuration parameters can be applied directly to the element, using a CldContext component or while installing a plugin (second argument of Vue.use).

<template>
  <div>
    <h1>Hello, world!</h1>

    <cld-image cloudName="demo" publicId="sample" crop="scale" width="300" />

    <cld-context cloudName="demo">
      <cld-image publicId="sample">
        <cld-transformation crop="scale" width="200" angle="10" />
      </cld-image>
    </cld-context>
  </div>
</template>

• CldContext
• CldTransformation
• CldImage
• CldVideo
• CldPoster (only used together with CldVideo)

CldContext

CldContext allows you to define shared configuration and resource transformation parameters that are applied to all children elements.

CldImage

outputs HTML img tag with a correct src attribute for provided Cloudinary resource, based on configuration and transformation parameters provided as attributes of this component instance, parent CldContext and children CldTransformation instances.

CldVideo

outputs HTML video tag with a correct sources for provided Cloudinary resource, based on configuration and transformation parameters provided as attributes of this component instance, parent CldContext and children CldTransformation instances.

CldPoster (optional)

specify image resource to be provided to poster attribute of the video element

CldTransformation

The Transformation element allows you to defined additional transformations on the parent element. You can also use built-in transformation attribute available in CldImage and CldVideo for the same effect.

For example:

<cld-image cloudName="demo" publicId="sample">
  <cld-transformation angle="-45" />
  <cld-transformation effect="trim" angle="45" crop="scale" width="600" />
  <cld-transformation overlay="text:Arial_100:Hello" />
</cld-image>
