-    import Cloudinary, { CldImage, CldTransformation } from "cloudinary-vue";
+### Transform and Optimize Assets 
+- [See full documentation](https://cloudinary.com/documentation/vue_image_manipulation)

-    Vue.use(Cloudinary, {

-        CldImage,
-        CldTransformation
-      }
-    });
+   ```jsx

+        <cld-context cloudName="demo">
+          <cld-image publicId="sample">
+            <cld-transformation crop="scale" width="200" angle="10" />
+          </cld-image>
+        </cld-context>
    ```
-
-2. **A Local setup** - You can also import the cloudinary components manually in each of your components.
-
-# Plugin Configuration
-The CloudinaryVue Plugin accepts a `components` object with the Cloudinary components to install
-
-   - `components` can also be passed as an array: 
-      ```javascript
-      components:[CldImage. CldTransformation]
-      ```
-
-   - `components` can also be used to rename the cloudinary components:   
-       ```javascript
-           components: {
-               myImage: CldImage,
-               myTransformation : CldTransformation
-           }
-       ```
-
-# General usage
-
-In order to properly use this library you have to provide it with a few configuration parameters. All configuration parameters can be applied directly to the element, using a `CldContext` component or while installing a plugin (second argument of `Vue.use`).
-
-```html
-<template>
-  <div>
-    <h1>Hello, world!</h1>
-
-    <cld-image cloudName="demo" publicId="sample" crop="scale" width="300" />

+    ```jsx
+    // Chain (compose) multiple transformations
    <cld-context cloudName="demo">
-      <cld-image publicId="sample">
-        <cld-transformation crop="scale" width="200" angle="10" />
-      </cld-image>
-    </cld-context>
-  </div>
-</template>
-```
-
-Required:
-
- `cloudName` - The cloudinary cloud name associated with your Cloudinary account.
-
-Optional:
-
- `privateCdn`, `secureDistribution`, `cname`, `cdnSubdomain` - Please refer to [Cloudinary Documentation](https://cloudinary.com/documentation/react_integration#3_set_cloudinary_configuration_parameters) for information on these parameters.
-
-### Specific usage
-
-The library includes 5 components:
-
- `CldContext`
- `CldTransformation`
- `CldImage`
- `CldVideo`
- `CldPoster` (only used together with `CldVideo`)
-
-#### CldContext
-
-`CldContext` allows you to define shared configuration and resource transformation parameters that are applied to all children elements.
-
-#### CldImage
-
-outputs HTML `img` tag with a correct `src` attribute for provided Cloudinary resource, based on configuration and transformation parameters provided as attributes of this component instance, parent `CldContext` and children `CldTransformation` instances.
-
-#### CldVideo
-
-outputs HTML `video` tag with a correct `sources` for provided Cloudinary resource, based on configuration and transformation parameters provided as attributes of this component instance, parent `CldContext` and children `CldTransformation` instances.
-
-#### CldPoster (optional)
-specify image resource to be provided to `poster` attribute of the `video` element
-
-#### CldTransformation
-
-The Transformation element allows you to defined additional transformations on the parent element. You can also use built-in `transformation` attribute available in `CldImage` and `CldVideo` for the same effect.
-
-For example:
-
-```jsx
-<cld-image cloudName="demo" publicId="sample">
-  <cld-transformation angle="-45" />
-  <cld-transformation effect="trim" angle="45" crop="scale" width="600" />
-  <cld-transformation overlay="text:Arial_100:Hello" />
-</cld-image>
-```
