Lazy image loader for Angular ≥ v2
About 150 loc and no dependencies (except for angular and rxjs of course)
Demo: http://tjoskar.github.io/ng-lazyload-image/
The browser you targeting need to have support of WeakMap
and String.prototype.includes
. If you need to support an older browser (like IE) you will need to include polyfill for WeakMap
and String.prototype.includes
(see https://github.com/zloirock/core-js for example).
$ npm install ng-lazyload-image --save
And then include it in your module (see app.module.ts):
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { LazyLoadImageModule } from 'ng-lazyload-image';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
@NgModule({
declarations: [ AppComponent ],
imports: [ BrowserModule, LazyLoadImageModule ],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class MyAppModule {}
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector: 'image',
template: `
`
})
class ImageComponent {
defaultImage = 'https://www.placecage.com/1000/1000';
image = 'https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1443890923422-7819ed4101c0?fm=jpg';
offset = 100;
}
It also supports background images, by using backgroundImage
:
@Component({
selector: 'image',
template: `
`
})
class ImageComponent {
defaultImage = 'https://www.placecage.com/1000/1000';
image = 'https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1443890923422-7819ed4101c0?fm=jpg';
offset = 100;
}
If using responsive images in a plain tag, you’ll need to set the
useSrcset
attribute to true
:
@Component({
selector: 'image',
template: `
`
})
class ImageComponent {
offset = 100;
defaultImage = 'https://www.placecage.com/1000/1000';
images = `https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1434725039720-aaad6dd32dfe?fm=jpg 700w,
https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1437818628339-19ded67ade8e?fm=jpg 1100w`;
}
If using responsive images in a tag, set the default
tag as usual with
lazyLoad
etc. attributes.
You can use attr.lazyLoad
, attr.defaultImage
and attr.errorImage
attributes for elements.
There’s no need to set useSrcset
for elements, as
srcset
is used by default.
A simple example for a tag:
@Component({
selector: 'image',
template: `
`
})
class ImageComponent {
offset = 100;
screen_lg = '1200px';
screen_md = '992px';
defaultImage = 'https://www.placecage.com/1000/1000';
image1 = 'https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1422004707501-e8dad229e17a?fm=jpg';
image2 = 'https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1439931444800-9bcc83f804a6?fm=jpg';
image3 = 'https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1417128281290-30a42da46277?fm=jpg';
}
You can (from 3.3.0) load image async or change the url on the fly, eg.
<img [lazyLoad]="image$ | async">
If you are using Ionic 2 you may need to include your own scroll observable or change the scroll target.
@Component({
selector: 'page-image',
template: `
`
})
export class AboutPage {
lazyLoadImage = 'https://hd.unsplash.com/photo-1431400445088-1750c997c6b5';
}
In case of using ion-slides in Ionic 2+, you can include your own scroll observable as below.
@Component({
selector: 'page-image',
template: `
`
})
export class AboutPage {
lazyLoadImage = 'https://hd.unsplash.com/photo-1431400445088-1750c997c6b5';
}
See example folder for more usages.
Q How can I manually trigger the loading of images?
A See: https://github.com/tjoskar/ng-lazyload-image/issues/197
Q Does this library work with ionic or some other wrapper for Angular?
A Yes, but ionic and some other library wraps the whole document inside an other div so you might need to create your own scroll listener. https://github.com/tjoskar/ng-lazyload-image/issues?utf8=✓&q=is%3Aissue+Ionic
Q How can I add a transition effect between the default image and the lazy loaded image?
A See: https://github.com/tjoskar/ng-lazyload-image/issues/300
Q I can’t get it to work with electron. Can you help me?
A Make sure you uses the right file path.
Q I can’t get it to work. Can you help me?
A Sure, create an issue and describe your issue in as much detail as possible.
Type: string
Example: https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1443890923422-7819ed4101c0?fm=jpg
The image to be lazy loaded. This image will replace the default image (defaultImage
).
Type: string
Example: https://www.placecage.com/1000/1000
Path to default image. This image will be loaded right away.
You can also use src
attribute for img tag to define default image:
or background-image
property for non-image tags:
Type: string
Example: https://i.imgur.com/XkU4Ajf.png
An image to be loaded if failing to load lazyLoad
. Will load the default image (defaultImage
) if absent.
Type: number
Example: 100
Default: 0
Number of px a image should be loaded before it is in view port
Type: Element
Example: document.getElementById('my-scroll-container')
Default: window
You will need to set this property if you are using a scroll container and do not propagate the scroll event to window.
Type: Observable
Example: Observable.fromEvent(myScrollContainer, 'scroll')
You can pass your own observable if you need more control over the flow. Can be useful if integrating with other frameworks like ionic.
Type: boolean
Example: true
You can set this to true
if you need to lazy load images with srcset
attribute, instead of src
.
tags are set to use
srcset
by default, so you don’t need to set this option additionaly.
Type: Function: (success: boolean) => void
Example:
You can pass a callback function, which will be called when the image is loaded.
