Next.js Image Component scenarios to Load Optimized Images When Using Custom Loader
Quick question that's been bugging me - I'm trying to implement I've been banging my head against this for hours... I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but I'm using the Next.js Image component with a custom loader to fetch images from an external API. However, the images are not loading as expected, and I'm receiving a 'Failed to fetch' behavior in the console. My custom loader is designed to construct the image URL dynamically based on the image ID returned from the API. Here’s a snippet of my implementation: ```javascript // customLoader.js const customLoader = ({ src, width, quality }) => { return `https://api.example.com/images/${src}?w=${width}&q=${quality || 75}`; }; // ImageComponent.js import Image from 'next/image'; import customLoader from './customLoader'; const ImageComponent = ({ imageId }) => { return ( <Image loader={customLoader} src={imageId} alt="Dynamic Image" width={500} height={300} quality={90} /> ); }; ``` The scenario arises when trying to load images where my `imageId` is sometimes undefined. I've also tried adding fallback logic in my `customLoader`, but it still breaks when `imageId` is invalid or missing. Here's the fallback I attempted: ```javascript const customLoader = ({ src, width, quality }) => { if (!src) { return ''; // This still throws an behavior } return `https://api.example.com/images/${src}?w=${width}&q=${quality || 75}`; }; ``` When I leave `src` empty or pass a non-existent image ID, I get a warning: 'Image with src "" is missing or inaccessible'. I’ve checked that the image ID does exist, but it seems to unexpected result intermittently. I am using Next.js version 13.4.0. How can I handle cases where `imageId` might be invalid or undefined without breaking the Image component? Any best practices for this scenario would be greatly appreciated! Am I missing something obvious? Any ideas what could be causing this? The stack includes Javascript and several other technologies. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this. I'm working with Javascript in a Docker container on Ubuntu 20.04. Thanks, I really appreciate it!
