Using Images in Next.js
Next.js, a popular React framework, provides built-in support for image optimization and lazy loading. This makes it easy to work with images in your Next.js projects, ensuring fast load times and a good user experience.
The next/image component in Next.js allows you to easily include optimized images in your application. It automatically handles image optimization, lazy loading, and the generation of multiple sizes and formats for different devices and browsers.
Basic usage
Here’s an example of how to use the next/image component in a Next.js application:
{`import Image from 'next/image';
function MyComponent() {
return (
);
}`}
In this example, the src attribute specifies the path to the image, and the width and height attributes define the dimensions of the image. The alt attribute provides a description of the image for accessibility purposes.
Advanced options
Next.js also allows you to specify additional attributes for the next/image component, such as layout, objectFit, and priority.
{``}
The layout attribute can be set to fill, fixed, or responsive, depending on how you want the image to be displayed. The objectFit attribute defines how the image should be resized or cropped to fit its container. The priority attribute can be used to prioritize the loading of the image for a better user experience.
Conclusion
Next.js provides powerful image optimization and lazy loading features through its next/image component, making it easy to work with images in your Next.js projects. By using the next/image component, you can ensure that your images are optimized for different devices and browsers, leading to faster load times and a better user experience.
I love it when I find the solution to one of my problems while randomly scrubbing through coding videos
Unfortunately, I still got this "Error: Image with src "/…" is missing required "width" property.". I've already set style which contains width and height like you did in this video. I got an error but you didn't. What should I do?😭
Using next version 13.3.4 and when I use the first example in this video, what you called, "the most basic," <Image src={/etc} alt={/etc} style={{maxWidth: '100%', height: 'auto' }} /> I get the error 'missing required width property'. Why am I or how are you not? Solving this is why I'm here.
I have my frontend on nextjs 13 using app router and backed is in python django. And i want to use Image component currently both frontend and backend is on locally. Can you guide me how i can use the Image component of nextjs?
The image component in Next.js is particularly beneficial for individuals who want to avoid the complexities of handling various rendered sizes.
Love all your videos on NextJS, and love NextJS and what you guys are doing atm @leerob but just had to point out, in the English language, “height” is not pronounced with the “th” sound at the end. It rhymes with words like “right” or “bite” 😅
why my next images are breaking after i deployed my next website using gitlab pages
Thank you so much! That was very helpful!!!
crystal clear
Thanks for this Lee!
I was wondering how can i allow a 2mb image but during the upload itself it shrinks/compresses and THEN stores in the bucket at a much reduced size, saving some sorage space as well? Im using supabase.
Thanks.
I was wondering why in the Image srcset generated when specifying the sizes property, all the sources have the same pixel dimensions ? Am I doing something wrong ? I would have guessed that the image's pixel dimensions would be different for each specified size
hi ,
I am using images from the public folder but when I build and see the src and the browser downloads it does not compress them and leaves them in .jpeg or .png form and in theory I should optimize them what am I doing wrong?
that's how I use them
import Image from 'next/image'
<Image src={'/home/en/challengesallianz.jpg} fill alt="" className="h-[50%] w-full" />
and when I see the browser already compiled it appears the same
<img alt="" loading="lazy" decoding="async" data-nimg="fill" class="h-\[50%\] w-full" style="position:absolute;height:100%;width: 100%;left:0;top:0;right:0;bottom:0;color:transparent" src="/home/en/challengesallianz.jpg">
with the same size as the folder and in theory it should convert it to webp
<Image src='./tintin.svg' alt='tintin' style={{ height: "80%", width: "auto" }}/>
trying to do this, similar to how you did it in the video but I keep getting this error:
Image with src "./SVG/tintin.svg" is missing required "width" property.
Background image example is not good
what VSCode Theme do u use?
Images get 404 error and wont get displayed after deploying to AWS Amplify. Any thoughts?
any idea on how to use videos as backgrounds in next js please?
So finally😩 the annoy error gone now use like img tag
I mean the annoy require prop
I think the next step for the image component is to set the width and height and generate the blur version without having to import the image first, just using the normal /[your public assets].
Nice! So we do we still need to install Sharp or not?
