Generate Image and Video HTML 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/react";

cloudinaryImage = new CloudinaryImage("sample", { cloudName: "demo" });

const App = () => {
  return <AdvancedImage cldImg={img} plugins={[lazyload(),responsive(), accessibility(), placeholder()]} />;
};

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