option to extract images

[quentincaffeino]

• Rollup Plugin Name: plugin-image
• Rollup Plugin Version:

Feature Use Case

Transforming image to base64 isn't very smart size wise and also ci/cd could apply some optimizations to the raw images later.

Feature Proposal

To add some property that would allow to extract used images into dest folder.

plugins: [
...
image({ extract: 'public/images' })
...
]

Why not just straight out copy?

To omit exporting and applying extra processing on unused images.

Thanks for opening a new feature request. It sounds like you're after https://www.npmjs.com/package/rollup-plugin-image-files, which does exactly what you've described. Generally speaking, we try not to duplicate the efforts of community members' plugins (unless of course the plugin is widely used and becomes unmaintained).

We'll decline for now to add this feature set to plugin-image, and encourage you to try out the third party plugin linked above.

I've made my research before writing, plugin description says that it is made for React Native.

This was written for a library that would be consumed by react-native applications.

Yes but did you try it? If it doesn't quite meet your needs, please ask the author to work with you to improve it.
