How to insert an image

The content structure

The new media type Cloudinary image will be automatically created after you install the module. The media type contains the following fields:

• Cloudinary Image (field_media_cloudinary_image)
• Cloudinary transformation (field_cloudinary_transformation)

Cloudinary Image field is using Image field type and stores image information in a common Drupal way. The only difference is in the upload destination, it uses remote stream Cloudinary files, so the file URI uses the following schema cloudinary://

Cloudinary transformation field is used to store custom image transformations created in the Cloudinary media library widget. You can edit any image before inserting it into the site and apply custom transformations.

Out of the box, the module provides the new block content type Cloudinary image with the following fields:

• Image (field_cloudinary_media) is a reference to Cloudinary image media.
• Caption (field_cloudinary_image_caption) is used to display a caption under the image.

Place an image on a page

You can use Cloudinary image block to insert it into the layout builder of your page.

Place an image everywhere

You can use Cloudinary media library widget everywhere, there is no limitation, it's working everywhere where media is applicable.

All you need is to have an entity reference field to Cloudinary image media in your entity type AND use Cloudinary media library field widget.

Use Default view mode for your reference field if you want to render an image as it is, but with the following features:

- Default image optimizations 
- Responsive breakpoints
- Individual image transformation

Use another view mode if you want to use a specific image style.

 How to...

2. Use alt and title attributes for outputted image

Alt and title attributes are automatically inserted. You can edit those attributes in contextual metadata.
