Sling model for Out of the box Sightly Image

[Sutty100]

I'm trying to ensure all of our components are backed up by a sling model to help us create a 'content API'. I'm struggling with the out of the box sightly image component as it is complex and uses JS and not Java, I don't want to reinvent the wheel so if somebody has done this before please point me in the correct direction!

You cannot use Sling Models with Sightly without writing Java code. See this community article to learn how to use SLing Models and Sightly:
