---name: hyva-render-media-imagedescription: Generate responsive image code for Hyvä Theme templates using the Media view model. This skill should be used when the user wants to render images in a Hyvä template, create responsive picture elements, add hero images, product images, or any image that needs responsive breakpoints.

Hyvä Render Image

Generate responsive <picture> elements for Hyvä Theme templates using the \Hyva\Theme\ViewModel\Media view model.

When to Use

• Adding images to Hyvä PHTML templates
• Creating responsive images with different sources for mobile/desktop
• Implementing hero banners, product images, or CMS content images
• Optimizing images for Core Web Vitals (LCP, CLS)

Workflow

1. Gather Image Requirements

The user may provide image data in one of these ways:

Option A: Direct values - Ask the user for:

1. Image path(s) - Location in pub/media/ (e.g., wysiwyg/hero.jpg, catalog/product/...)
2. Image dimensions - Width and height in pixels
3. Responsive requirements - Different images for mobile vs desktop?
4. Image purpose - Hero/LCP image (eager loading) or below-fold (lazy loading)?
5. Alt text - Meaningful description for accessibility

Option B: PHP variable - The user provides a variable name (e.g., $imageData, $heroImage). Inform the user of the required array structure documented in references/rendering-images.md under ## Image Configuration Format.

2. Generate the Code

Refer to references/rendering-images.md for the complete API reference, code examples, and all configuration options.

Choose the appropriate pattern:

Scenario	Pattern to Use
Single image, literal values	Single Image Example
Single image from variable	Wrap in array: [$imageData]
Multiple images from variable	Pass directly: $images
Different images for mobile/desktop	Responsive Images with Media Queries
Need to style the <picture> wrapper	Picture Element Attributes

Base template:

<?php
/** @var \Hyva\Theme\ViewModel\Media $mediaViewModel */
$mediaViewModel = $viewModels->require(\Hyva\Theme\ViewModel\Media::class);

echo $mediaViewModel->getResponsivePictureHtml(
    $images,        // Array of image configs (see reference for format)
    $imgAttributes, // Optional: alt, class, loading, fetchpriority
    $pictureAttributes // Optional: class, data-* attributes for <picture>
);

3. Set Loading Strategy

Image Type	Attributes
Hero/LCP (above fold)	'loading' => 'eager', 'fetchpriority' => 'high'
Below fold	'loading' => 'lazy'
