How can I load images dynamically using next.js without encountering any issues with the background URL?

edit

There are multiple ways to load images dynamically in Next.js without encountering issues with the background URL. Here are a few options:

1. Using the next/image component:

The next/image component is a built-in feature of Next.js that provides automatic image optimization, lazy loading, and a responsive image layout. You can use it to load images dynamically by passing the image URL as a prop. Here's an example:

import Image from 'next/image';
//...
function MyComponent({ imageUrl }) {
  return (
    <>
      <div
        style={{
          backgroundImage: `url(${imageUrl})`,
          backgroundRepeat: 'no-repeat',
          backgroundSize: 'cover',
        }}
      >
        {/* ... */}
      </div>
      <Image src={imageUrl} alt="" />
    </>
  )
}

In this example, the div element uses the background URL to display the image, while the Image component loads the image dynamically.

1. Using the img HTML tag:

If you prefer using the img HTML tag instead, you can dynamically create an img element with the image URL as its src attribute. Here's an example:

function MyComponent({ imageUrl }) {
  const imgRef = React.useRef();
  React.useEffect(() => {
    if (imgRef.current) {
      imgRef.current.src = imageUrl;
    }
  }, [imageUrl]);

  return (
    <>
      <div
        style={{
          backgroundImage: `url(${imageUrl})`,
          backgroundRepeat: 'no-repeat',
          backgroundSize: 'cover',
        }}
      >
        {/* ... */}
      </div>
      <img ref={imgRef} alt="" />
    </>
  );
}

In this example, we create a ref to the img element and update its src attribute dynamically using the useEffect hook.

1. Using a CSS module:

Another option is to load the image dynamically using a CSS module. You can create a CSS module with a class that has a background-image property and set the value dynamically using JavaScript. Here's an example:

/* styles.module.css */
.myBackgroundImage {
  background-image: url('');
}

import styles from './styles.module.css';

function MyComponent({ imageUrl }) {
  const divRef = React.useRef();
  React.useEffect(() => {
    if (divRef.current) {
      divRef.current.style.backgroundImage = `url(${imageUrl})`;
    }
  }, [imageUrl]);

  return (
    <div ref={divRef} className={styles.myBackgroundImage}>
      {/* ... */}
    </div>
  );
}

In this example, we create a CSS module with a class that has a background-image property with an empty URL. We use the useEffect hook to update the background-image value dynamically, and we apply the class to the div element using the className prop.
