Proxying asset url from Directus
hello !
I watched this tutorial by Alexandre Lichter : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J4E5uYz5AY8 and it works great!
But I'm now wandering how to proxy urls in image tags .
I have a Directus backend that holds data and images. By setting up a proxy, my nuxt app can just get data from the /api/items endpoint and the request is automatically redirected to the Directus backend. Great !
This will return data from https://mydirectus.com/items/Blogs
It also works for anchor tags:
This will show you the json from this endpoint. Perfect!
But I tried this:
And it doesn't work. Shoot! "Does ths file really exists ?" it asks.
What would be the right way to get the image without directly accessing https://mydirectus.com/assets/imageId ?

So I think I might have found a solution with the image module.
It provides a way to configure a provider url. When setting up the provider, you setup a baseUrl in the nuxt.config.ts file. My question is: will this url be exposed publicly ? or will it only be available server side ?
