Implementing Next.js Sanity Image using a Blurred Placeholder with Sanity as a Loader

11 repliesLast updated: Sep 16, 2021
Does anyone have a working example of “Next.js Sanity Image” using a blur placeholder with Sanity as a loader?
This is my code:
<Image
      src={nextSanityImage.src}
      loader={nextSanityImage.loader}
      width={width}
      height={height}
      layout="responsive"
      placeholder="blur"
      blurDataURL={nextSanityImage.blurDataURL}
      alt={alt}
      priority={priority}
    />
I see that I have the correct url in 
blurDataURL
, but it never shows
Yes
But you say it’s set, so probably not.
It is also hard to debug and test
I’ve tried to block the main image in my network dev tools tab, but I’m not sure that might break it
Hmm, seems like there is only an issue in Firefox, maybe it loads it different based on timings
If you didn’t want to use this plugin, you can check out my custom solution that does this (blur up): https://github.com/ndimatteo/HULL/blob/main/components/photo.js
I came up with my own solution, but I wish I had looked at HULL first 😅
