# Bridgetown Cloudinary Plugin
[Bridgetown](https://www.bridgetownrb.com) is a Ruby-powered static site generator.
[Cloudinary](https://www.cloudinary.com) is digital asset management service which
makes uploading and serving resized, transformed, and compressed images and videos
easy and fast.
This plugin wires the two up so you can use Cloudinary images in your blog posts,
articles, product pages, site templates, and anywhere else you might need to
reference media optimized for mobile and responsive design.
(_Note: For users who may be familiar with the jekyll-cloudinary plugin, this is
unrelated and the usage is quite different. This plugin assumes you store your
images in Cloudinary directly, not your repo._)
## Installation
Run this command to add this plugin to your site's Gemfile:
```shell
$ bundle add bridgetown-cloudinary -g bridgetown_plugins
```
Or simply add this line to your Gemfile and run `bundle install`:
```ruby
gem 'bridgetown-cloudinary', group: "bridgetown_plugins"
```
Then modify your `bridgetown.config.yml` configuration to point to your Cloudinary
cloud name:
```yaml
cloudinary:
cloud_name: my-cloud-name
```
## Usage
The simplest usage of the Bridgetown Cloudinary plugin is to add a `cloudinary_id` to
the front matter of a page or document. For example:
```yaml
---
title: I'm a Blog Post
cloudinary_id: some-folder-with/image-in-cloudinary
category: neat
---
I'm a blog post with an image!
```
The plugin will automatically add `image.path` front matter with a generated URL to
the image in Cloudinary using the default configured transformation `open_graph`.
This sizes and compresses an image suitable for use on Twitter, Facebook, etc.
(See below for information on how to change the default transformation or add your
own.)
You can use `image.path` in a template:
`{{ post.image.path }}`
Since `image.path` is also referenced by the Bridgetown [Feed](https://github.com/bridgetownrb/bridgetown-feed) and [SEO](https://github.com/bridgetownrb/bridgetown-seo-tag) plugins,
your Cloudinary images will be picked up in those contexts automatically.
To reference other available sizes, you can use either a Liquid tag or filter,
depending on your needs. Using a tag:
`{% cloudinary_img "Alt text goes here", post.cloudinary_id, "large" %}`
Or a filter:
`
`
### Default Sizes Included
Here's a list of all the Cloudinary transformation strings that ship with the plugin:
```yaml
open_graph: "c_fill,g_face:center,w_1600,h_900,q_50" # default
tiny: "w_300,c_limit,q_90"
small: "w_600,c_limit,q_85"
medium: "w_1200,c_limit,q_80"
large: "w_1800,c_limit,q_80"
xlarge: "w_2048,c_limit,q_75"
```
The image format used in all cases is JPG.
### Optional Configuration Options
If you'd like to reference any of the configured image sizes directly through front
matter as an alternative to using tags or filters, you can switch this on in your
`bridgetown.config.yml`:
```yaml
cloudinary:
add_transformed_urls_to_image_front_matter: true
```
Then you'll be able to reference image sizes like so:
`
`
Be aware that if an `image` front matter variable has already defined for a document,
it will remain intact and the Cloudinary image transformations won't be apply for
that document.
You can also change or add your own transformations! Simply define them in your
config:
```yaml
cloudinary:
transformations:
tiny: w_300,c_limit,q_90 # this overrides the builtin tiny transformation
max_bw: e_grayscale,w_4096,c_limit,q_65 # this is a new custom transformation
```
If you configure transformations to get added to front matter, all custom
transformations will show up there as well:
`B&W image URL: {{ post.image.max_bw }}`
