how to point URL to an s3 bucket after generation?

[simonhrogers]

Hello! Thanks very much for your work on this module, it is brilliant.

Can you point me in the right direction? I am looking for a way to point the URL to my s3 bucket e.g. https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/assets.my-website.org/slides after statically generating my site.

Previously I was adding the string: https://s3.eu-west-2.amazonaws.com/assets.my-website.org/slides through a computed property in my code.

This method no longer works because this prevents nuxt-image-loader-module from finding the images and correctly generating my application. I need a way of pointing all image URLs to my s3 after this has been done.

How can I do this? What is the standard approach for this?

Many Thanks,

Simon

Hi Simon,

Thanks for raising this issue and for your kind words.

S3 integration isn't something that I've tested so far. I can add this to the roadmap for this plugin, although I can't immediately put my attention on this due to busy work commitments.

I think S3 integration would be a worthy addition and as you have a real use case, I'd like to ask you a few questions so that I understand what you're trying to achieve.

Are you trying to:

• Put your entire compiled nuxt app on S3 and host from there
• Retrieve existing source images from an S3 bucket?
• Point the compiled <img> sources to a remote S3 bucket where the compiled images live?
• Is you S3 bucket publicly accessible - i.e. no access permissions set?

I'd like to see if there is a general solution that's not necessarily S3 specific so this module can support other image hosting solutions.

Thanks,

Barry

Thanks Barry!

I’m not well versed in best practices for asset storage – so I was posing a question about how would be best to handle this as much as anything.

I am hosting my app from Netlify currently, and had thought it would be nice to store all image assets on a separate s3 bucket, attached to a subdomain e.g. assets.my-domain.com

Given this idea, I had thought it would be nice if during the build / generation process, assets could be generated and then uploaded to this bucket – with links amended appropriately.

With this in mind, I think my objective is as you describe in your third point:

• Point the compiled <img> sources to a remote S3 bucket where the compiled images live?

The assets could certainly be made public if necessary or easier!

Thanks,

Simon
