feat: Image Transformation Support.

[jamaluddinrumi]

it's really promising when i take a look of how sveltia maximize utilizing github.

but, how about image transformation and then store them to disk? i think we need that feature for supporting dynamic srcset image generation for our img elements.

similar feature is provided by storyblok image.

Thanks for checking out Sveltia CMS, @jamaluddinrumi! I’ve been thinking about this, but honestly it’s becoming less of a priority as some popular frameworks like Next.js and Hugo already provide an image optimization method. One of my clients has been using Uploadcare for their SvelteKit site, but SvelteKit now also has an experimental image optimizer, so the third-party solution is no longer necessary.

That said, I think a basic resizer/transformer/optimizer in the CMS is still useful, for example to prevent very large images from being uploaded by end users. And I understand that not all frameworks, including Vue I guess, provide such built-in functionality.

I’ll keep this on my to-do list!

I have added an image conversion method to generate asset thumbnails. I’ll use it to support simple image transformations. Basically, for websites, we just need WebP quality 85 (or SVG).

I have never used Unpic, but if you can use it, I think the built-in image translation is not needed 😆 Still, image optimization is nice to have in the CMS.

✨ wow, i'm just realized that this feature (feat: Image Transformation Support. #102) will make image srcset translation in our frontend is not needed anymore.

i'm stay following the progress.

@kyoshino Is it available as an option somewhere?

[kyoshino]

I haven’t implemented this yet, but it’s one of the features to be added before the 1.0 release. I’ll keep you posted.

[out of topic]

the potential of monetizing sveltia is so much promising till it can be used as another paid cms alternative as they (paid cms provider) will raising their services sooner or later.

[kyoshino]

Sveltia CMS should always be free 😆 The CMS market is crowded, it’s hard to survive though. But my goal is clear: making a great successor to Netlify CMS.

Image optimizer has landed in v0.68.0 😊
