Image provider definition - 5 UI

Deprecated

Image provider definition has been deprecated since Magnolia 6.0. It is part of the Magnolia 5 UI framework.

For the updated implementation, see Preview definition for Magnolia 6 UI instead.

What is an image provider

Image provider is a component that renders images used in apps. It generates the portrait image at the bottom of the action bar and the thumbnails for the thumbnail view.

Here is an example image provider definition that uses default classes.

imageProvider:
  class: info.magnolia.ui.imageprovider.definition.ConfiguredImageProviderDefinition
  imageProviderClass: info.magnolia.ui.imageprovider.DefaultImageProvider
  originalImageNodeName: jcr:content

Property Description

Property	Description
`class`	required Image provider definition class that reads the configuration properties and can supply additional parameters to the image provider class. The definition class must implement the ImageProviderDefinition interface. Set the value to a fully-qualified class name.
`imageProviderClass`	required Actual implementation that generates thumbnail images. The class must implement the ImageProvider interface. You can use DefaultImageProvider which provides images for objects of MIME type `image/*` and delegates to the Imaging module to generate and store the images.
`imageExtension`	optional, default is `png` Extension used to deliver the image.
`imagingServletPath`	optional, default is `/.imaging` Path where the imaging servlet resides.
`originalImageNodeName`	optional, default is `originalImage` Name of the JCR node where the original source image is stored. For example, if a file upload field on a form stores the image in a node named `photo` set the value to `photo`. Here are the default image generator configurations that DefaultImageProvider uses. `portrait` is displayed at the bottom of the action bar and `thumbnail` in the thumbnail view.
