SrcSet.Core 5.0.0

SrcSet

Tools to create sets of responsive images for the web

Tools

This repository contains 3 projects:

• SrcSet: a CLI utility to create sets of responsive images
• SrcSet.Statiq: pipeline and helper for integrating responsive images into a Statiq site
• SrcSet.Core: a library used by the above, also available for public consumption

CLI

Requirements

• .NET 8 SDK

Installation

dotnet tool install -g SrcSet

Usage

srcset {file or directory} [-r] [space delimited set of widths]

e.g.

srcset IMG_9687.jpg 500 1000

will resize the image to 500 and 1000 pixels wide, with the filenames IMG_9687-0500.jpg and IMG_9687-1000.jpg

srcset all_images/

will resize all images in the all_images directory (recursively if -r is included) to each of the default widths

Statiq

This package contains a Statiq pipeline and HTML helper method to easily integrate responsive image generation into a Statiq site.

The process to accomplish this has two steps:

1. create the set of responsive images to use (using the pipeline)
2. reference the images in the generated HTML (using the HTML helper)

Step 1

To create a set of responsive images, place the originals (to be resized) alongside your other assets, and then in your bootstrapper code, add:

bootstrapper.AddPipeline("SrcSet", new ResponsiveImages("**/*.jpg"));

where the optional parameter **/*.jpg is a glob pointing to the image assets to resize.

A custom set of widths can also be passed as a second parameter:

bootstrapper.AddPipeline("SrcSet", new ResponsiveImages("**/*.jpg", new ushort[] { 100, 200, 300 }));

Step 2

In your Razor file, call the HTML helper to create an <img/> tag with the relevant attributes set:

@Html.Raw(ResponsiveImages.SrcSet("images/original.jpg"))

You can also customize the widths, default width, and add any other attributes here:

@Html.Raw(ResponsiveImages.SrcSet("images/original.jpg", new ushort[] { 100, 200, 300 }, 200))

@Html.Raw(ResponsiveImages.SrcSet("images/original.jpg", attributes: new Dictionary<string, string>
	{
		{ "class", "full-width" },
		{ "alt", "don't forget about accessibility!" }
	}
))

Library

The "Core" library can be used to incorporate SrcSet's functionality into your own app.

First, create a new SrcSetManager:

var manager = new SrcSetManager();

Then invoke it's SaveSrcSet() method:

await manager.SaveSrcSet("file.png", SrcSetManager.DefaultSizes);

If you need more control than the default constructor and sizes provide, you can pass in a specific logging mechanism (other than the default Console.WriteLine) and list of widths:

var manager = new SrcSetManager(Image.LoadAsync, (string s) => logger.LogDebug(s));
await manager.SaveSrcSet("file.png", new ushort[] { 100, 200, 300 });

Default widths

• 240px
• 320px
• 480px
• 640px
• 800px
• 960px
• 1280px
• 1600px
• 1920px
• 2400px

File types

SrcSet uses ImageSharp under the hood, and therefore should theoretically support all file types that ImageSharp supports by entering the filename as a parameter, however when entering a directory as a parameter, file types are limited to:

• jpg / jpeg / jfif
• png
• bmp / bm / dip
• gif
• tga / vda / icb / vst
