Blogger resizeImage Operator

The resizeImage operators are useful when we want to ensure that an image is displayed in a suitable size. Generally this will be used to get a cropped thumbnail of an image If the ratio is provided, or to create a responsive image.

Blogger Operator [resizeImage] Example

URL of the image is wrapped with double quotes, The result of operation is, image will be resized to 640px width and cropped to 640x240px.

Blogger Operator [sourceSet]

sourceSet is operator used in srcset attribute, is HTML attribute which allows us to tell the Browser to specify different kind of images for different screen-sizes or orientation or display-types based on different condition.

<img> tag can't work alone with srcset attribute. we still need the src attribute. In short, we have two attribute in single <img> tag, src and srcset.

The operator sourceSet syntax almost like the operator resizeImage, the different is on the newSize part. In this part we set multiple image width dimension separated by comma.

Example with expression

<img expr:src='data:post.featuredImage'
     expr:srcset='sourceSet(data:post.featuredImage, [256,512,945,1684])'/>
