Transform and Optimize Assets

• See full documentation

import {CloudinaryImage} from '@cloudinary/url-gen/assets/CloudinaryImage';

export class AppComponent implements OnInit{
  img: CloudinaryImage;

  ngOnInit() {
     const myCld = new Cloudinary({ cloudName: 'demo'});
     this.img = myCld().image('sample');
  }
}

In your view add the component with your transformation

<advanced-image [cldImg]="this.img"></advanced-image>

Generate Image and Video HTML Tags

- Use <advanced-image> to generate image tags
- Use <advanced-video> to generate video tags

Advanced Plugin Features

• See full documentation
  
  We recommend the following order when using our plugins to achieve the best results:
  
  

import { CloudinaryImage } from "@cloudinary/url-gen";
import {
  lazyload,
  responsive,
  accessibility,
  placeholder
} from "@cloudinary/ng";

export class AppComponent {
  cloudinaryImage = new CloudinaryImage("sample", { cloudName: "demo" });
  plugins = [lazyload(),responsive(), accessibility(), placeholder()];
}

<advanced-image [cldImg]="cloudinaryImage" [plugins]="plugins">

You can omit any plugin, but the order from above should remain.

File upload

This SDK does not provide file upload functionality, however there are several methods of uploading from the client side.
