⚡ React Preload Image

This is a clone of sconstantinides/react-preload-image.

Preload and fade in an image from a background color or placeholder image.

Optional support for lazy loading so images load when scrolled into view. Uses the Intersection Observer API and falls back to simply preloading when there isn't browser support (cough, Safari, cough).

Usage

Install with yarn add react-preload-image or npm install react-preload-image

Import in your components with import PreloadImage from 'react-preload-image'

• Required: Relative, absolute, or fixed position
• Required: Width & height (explicitly or via top/right/bottom/left)
• Optional: Background color or placeholder image (what will be shown before the image loads)
