HTML

The .is-lazy selector is optional. Use it if you want to lazyload our .picturefill-background elements.

<div class="picturefill-background is-lazy">
  <span class="picturefill-background-source" data-src="small.jpg"></span>
  <span
    class="picturefill-background-source"
    data-src="medium.jpg"
    data-media="(min-width: 400px)"
  ></span>
  <span
    class="picturefill-background-source"
    data-src="large.jpg"
    data-media="(min-width: 640px)"
  ></span>
  <span
    class="picturefill-background-source"
    data-src="big.jpg"
    data-media="(min-width: 800px)"
  ></span>
</div>

By default:

• .picturefill-background: apply the background-image attribute
• .is-lazy: Set observer to lazyload the image (Optional)
• .picturefill-background-source:
  • [data-src]: specify the image path
  • [data-media]: apply in specific media settings (Optional)

CSS

Set your CSS as you need:

.picturefill-background {
  background-size: cover;
  background-repeat: no-repeat;
}
 
.picturefill-background.is-lazy {
  background-color: lime;
}

Change default selectors

import lazyloadPicturefillBackground from "lazyload-picturefill-background";
 
new lazyloadPicturefillBackground({
  pictureFillBackgroundSelector: ".picturefill-background", //String or node list
  lazySelector: ".is-lazy", //String
  pictureFillBackgroundSourceSelector: ".picturefill-background-source" //String
});

Browser support

Lazyload Picturefill Background will work in all modern browsers. the Intersection Observer API is not supported on IE you can use the w3c polyfill.

The IntersectionObserver polyfill can be included in your project using polyfill.io, which will automatically include dependencies where necessary:

<script src="https://polyfill.io/v3/polyfill.min.js?features=IntersectionObserver"></script>
