Blur Hash
---------

[](#blur-hash)

> An add-on for Statamic that encodes, decodes and generates [Blur Hash](https://github.com/woltapp/blurhash) images to use as placeholders during image loading.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

First, require BlurHash as a Composer dependency:

```
composer require thoughtco/statamic-blurhash

```

Optionally, you may publish the config file for the [BlurHash library](https://github.com/bepsvpt/blurhash) this addon makes use of, allowing you finer control over the image output.

```
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="Bepsvpt\Blurhash\BlurHashServiceProvider"

```

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

This add-on provides a number of tags:

### Outputting a BlurHash image

[](#outputting-a-blurhash-image)

`{{ blur_hash:image }}`

or

`{{ blur_hash :image="asset" }}`

or

`{{ blur_hash :url="url" }}`

or

`{{ blur_hash :id="asset_id" }}`

or

`{{ blur_hash :path="local_path" }}`

This tag will output an encoded image in the following format:

``

Any other parameters you pass will be added to the tag, for example:

`{{ blur_hash:image width="640" height="640" onload="console.log('loaded')" }}`

will output as:

``

If you want to override the output, you can publish the view to your own views folder by running:

```
php artisan vendor:publish --tag="statamic-blurhash"

```

it will then be found at `resources/views/vendor/statamic-blurhash/output.blade.php`

### Encoding a BlurHash image

[](#encoding-a-blurhash-image)

`{{ blur_hash:encode image="path_or_asset" }}`

or

`{{ blur_hash:encode :url="url" }}`

or

`{{ blur_hash:encode :id="asset_id" }}`

or

`{{ blur_hash:encode :path="path" }}`

This will return a BlurHash encoded URL, useful if you want to return this to JavaScript or a 3rd party service (such as Algolia).

### Decoding a BlurHash image

[](#decoding-a-blurhash-image)

`{{ blur_hash:decode hash="string" }}`

This will decode an BlurHash string to an image, following the same conventions as `Outputting a BlurHash image`.

-------
