ImageTagHelper
The Image Tag Helper enhances the img (<img>) tag. It requires a src tag as well as the boolean attribute asp-append-version.
If the image source (src) is a static file on the host web server, a unique cache busting string is appended as a query parameter to the image source. This ensures that if the file on the host web server changes, a unique request URL is generated that includes the updated request parameter. The cache busting string is a unique value representing the hash of the static image file.
If the image source (src) isn’t a static file (for example a remote URL or the file doesn’t exist on the server), the <img> tag’s src attribute is generated with no cache busting query string parameter.
Image Tag Helper Attributes
asp-append-version
When specified along with a src attribute, the Image Tag Helper is invoked.
An example of a valid img tag helper is:
<img src="~/images/asplogo.png"
asp-append-version="true" />If the static file exists in the directory ..wwwroot/images/asplogo.png the generated html is similar to the following (the hash will be different):
The value assigned to the parameter v is the hash value of the file on disk. If the web server is unable to obtain read access to the static file referenced, no v parameters is added to the src attribute.
src
To activate the Image Tag Helper, the src attribute is required on the <img> element.
[!NOTE] The Image Tag Helper uses the
Cacheprovider on the local web server to store the calculatedSha512of a given file. If the file is requested again theSha512does not need to be recalculated. The Cache is invalidated by a file watcher that is attached to the file when the file’sSha512is calculated.
