RESPONSIVE IMAGES FOR WORDPRESS

Library that will make working with images in your responsive Wordpress template a breeze.

What's in the box:

• Generates \<img> tags with precise srcset and sizes attributes for images from WP Media Library.
• Generates \<img> tags wrapped in aspect-ratio preserving wrapper for both WP Media images and theme images. Great to prevent CLS with lazyloaded images.
• Clean API to define responsive image sizes in either mobile-first (min-width) or desktop-first (max-width) manner.
• Helper to define images sizes based on taken colums in Bootstrap grid for each breakpoint.
• Replace responsive image in Gutenberg image block.
• Generates sanitized and minified \<svg> code, which can be safely inlined to HTML.

Code

Output

Thanks a lot to Adam Laita and his post about image optimization (in Czech only). It was the original inspiration for this library.

Instalation

Option 1: with Composer

Recommended way to install the library is using Composer:

Include composer's autoload in functions.php:

Option 2: without Composer

1. Download source code of the library and unzip it into your theme directory.
2. Require files manually in functions.php

WP Plugins

1. Install Fly Dynamic Image Resizer and activate it on local development version. You can use this on production as well, but you would miss the speed of CDN.

2. On production version install, activate and configure Auto Cloudinary, which will automatically upload all your images to Cloudinary using it's fetch API.

This library decides whether to use Fly Dynamic Image Resizer or Auto Cloudinary plugin, but make sure only one of these plugins is activated at a time. If none of these plugins is activated, library will fall back to default Wordpress attachment getter wp_get_attachment_image_src() with size given as array.

The library can work with SVGs as well. To support SVGs in WP Media Library, install SVG Support.

With this, you are ready to instantiate all classes described below directly in your template files. However to optimize your images and code as much as possible, there are more steps suggested.

Working with image sizes

To work with responsive images, we first has to prepare one or more image sizes for various breakpoints. Image sizes can be defined using following classes:

• Fronty\ResponsiveImages\Sizes\ImageSize is representation of image dimensions and transformations. This class alone is used for non-responsive images, where only one size is required.
• Fronty\ResponsiveImages\Sizes\ImageSizeList is representation of group of ImageSize objects and is used for responsive images, where different size is required for each breakpoint.
• Fronty\ResponsiveImages\Sizes\BootstrapSizes is helper class to generate ImageSizeList according to specified container width and grid columns.

See detailed documentation of these objects.

Working with images

Library includes two main classes for work with images:

• Fronty\ResponsiveImages\UploadImage for images uploaded by user in WP Media Gallery
• Fronty\ResponsiveImages\ThemeImage for images located inside your theme directory (logos, backgrounds, etc.)

See detailed documentation of these objects.

WP filters

Both ThemeImage and UploadImage objects allows you to change some of their outputs using WP filter mechanism.

See list of all filters available.

Dependencies

Nette\Utils

The code depends on lightweight utility classes from Nette\Utils, especially following classes:

• HTML elements for img HTML tags handling
• Strings for safe UTF-8 strings manipulation
• ArratHash for smart array-like object

Other dependencies

• enshrined/svg-sanitize: Remove ids and classes of uploded SVGs before they are inlined to template.
• paquettg/php-html-parser Replace responsive image tag in Gutenberg image block.

@todo

• nemazat src v lazyloadingu, misto toho dat placeholder (doplnit do konfigurace)
• UploadImage
