AssetServerOptions

The configuration options for the AssetServerPlugin.

Signature
interface AssetServerOptions {    route: string;    assetUploadDir: string;    assetUrlPrefix?: string | ((ctx: RequestContext, identifier: string) => string);    previewMaxWidth?: number;    previewMaxHeight?: number;    presets?: ImageTransformPreset[];    imageTransformStrategy?: ImageTransformStrategy | ImageTransformStrategy[];    namingStrategy?: AssetNamingStrategy;    previewStrategy?: AssetPreviewStrategy;    storageStrategyFactory?: (        options: AssetServerOptions,    ) => AssetStorageStrategy | Promise<AssetStorageStrategy>;    cacheHeader?: CacheConfig | string;}

route

propertystring

The route to the asset server.

assetUploadDir

propertystring

The local directory to which assets will be uploaded when using the LocalAssetStorageStrategy.

assetUrlPrefix

propertystring | ((ctx: RequestContext, identifier: string) => string)

The complete URL prefix of the asset files. For example, "https://demo.vendure.io/assets/". A function can also be provided to handle more complex cases, such as serving multiple domains from a single server. In this case, the function should return a string url prefix.

If not provided, the plugin will attempt to guess based off the incoming request and the configured route. However, in all but the simplest cases, this guess may not yield correct results.

previewMaxWidth

propertynumber
Default:1600

The max width in pixels of a generated preview image.

previewMaxHeight

propertynumber
Default:1600

The max height in pixels of a generated preview image.

presets

An array of additional ImageTransformPreset objects.

imageTransformStrategy

The strategy or strategies to use to determine the parameters for transforming an image. This can be used to implement custom image transformation logic, for example to limit transform parameters to a known set of presets.

If multiple strategies are provided, they will be executed in the order in which they are defined. If a strategy throws an error, the image transformation will be aborted and the error will be logged, with an HTTP 400 response sent to the client.

namingStrategy

Default:<a href='/reference/core-plugins/asset-server-plugin/hashed-asset-naming-strategy#hashedassetnamingstrategy'>HashedAssetNamingStrategy</a>

Defines how asset files and preview images are named before being saved.

previewStrategy

propertyAssetPreviewStrategyv1.7.0

Defines how previews are generated for a given Asset binary. By default, this uses the SharpAssetPreviewStrategy

storageStrategyFactory

Default:() => <a href='/reference/core-plugins/asset-server-plugin/local-asset-storage-strategy#localassetstoragestrategy'>LocalAssetStorageStrategy</a>

A function which can be used to configure an AssetStorageStrategy. This is useful e.g. if you wish to store your assets using a cloud storage provider. By default, the LocalAssetStorageStrategy is used.

cacheHeader

propertyCacheConfig | stringv1.9.3
Default:'public, max-age=15552000'

Configures the Cache-Control directive for response to control caching in browsers and shared caches (e.g. Proxies, CDNs). Defaults to publicly cached for 6 months.
