’s tweet tips, get the original height/width pixel size off an image by its URL (as in, without querying for that information)

// <https://cdn.sanity.io/images/><project>/<dataset>/<uuid>-442x255.png?params=whatever

  const [originalWidth, originalHeight] = new URL(url).pathname
    .split('/')
    .filter((p) => p)
    .pop()
    .split('.')
    .slice(0, 1)
    .join('')
    .split('-')
    .pop()
    .split('x')
    .map((px) => parseInt(px))

// Returns 442, 255

Great tip!
To make this easier, lean on
@sanity/asset-utils :
import {getImageDimensions} from '@sanity/asset-utils'

const { aspectRatio, height, width } = getImageDimensions({
  url: "<https://cdn.sanity.io/images/><project>/<dataset>/<uuid>-442x255.png?params=whatever"
})

I'm a fan, too! It's my 6-months-from-now self that hates it 😂

Yes, well I’ve installed that library now and my code is 20 lines lighter 😄

Why not use regex?
const [w, h] = image_url.match(/(\d{1,})(?=\.|\x)/g);
(though it may match part of the hash so the url has to be split first)

I want to start an “obtuse and ill advised sanity tips” Twitter thread.
