Payload CMS BlurHash Plugin by Zapal
Turbocharge your website performance by creating ultralight image placeholders, resulting in a smoother user experience.
📋 Requirements
- Payload version
1.7.2
or higher is required (version2.0.0
or higher is recommended)
🚀 Getting started
Instal the package with yarn add @zapal/payload-blurhash-plugin
or npm install @zapal/payload-blurhash-plugin
Now setup the plugin within your payload.config.ts
file as follows:
import { buildConfig } from 'payload/config';
import { blurHash } from '@zapal/payload-blurhash-plugin';
import path from 'path';
/* ... */
export default buildConfig({
plugins: [
blurHash({
collections: ['team-photos-collection', 'blog-images-collection'],
}),
],
/* ... */
});
The plugin will generate a readonly blurhash
field for each image uploaded to the specified collections. Generation
for imageSizes
are not supported yet (but it's in progress).
🎛️ Conditionally enabling/disabling

property.
blurHash({

collections: ['team-photos-collection', 'blog-images-collection'],
}),

💻 Local development
You can find the source code in the src
directory. For development purposes, you can use the dev
directory with all
the necessary files to test the plugin in a Payload project. Also we are strongly recommending to use your IDE debugger
instead of console.log
statements.
You need to follow these steps to start developing and testing the plugin locally:
- Go to
dev
directory (cd dev
) - Create
.env
file (cp .env.example .env
) - Setup environment variables in
.env
file - Install dependencies (
npm i
) - Run the project (
npm run dev
)
And you are ready to go!
