plugin-lazyimage

Lazy image preloader plugin. Similar to plugin-image, expect:

• Non blocking: modules using plugin-image are not executed until the image, or all the images, are loaded. Imports using plugin-lazyimage return immediatly.
• Deferred image loading: images imported through plugin-image are downloaded immediatly, causing network contention with your other requests (JS, CSS). Images imported through plugin-lazyimage are delayed until the the Window load event
• Progressive rendering: plugin-image does allow to progressively render an image (it only returns when the image is fully loaded). plugin-lazyimage returns an Object with two start and load Promises, allowing you to display an image as soon as possible (the start Promise always resolves) while still handling load errors.

To install with jspm:

jspm install lazyimage=github:laurentgoudet/plugin-lazyimage@0.0.2

To lazy load a single image, simply do:

import image from './myImage.jpg!lazyimage';

image.start.then((image) => {
  document.getElementById('myImage')
    .setAttribute('src', image.src);
  });

This code will be executed as soon as possible, before the Window load event, and the image.start Promise will resolve as soon as the image starts loading (i.e., the image will be progressively displayed to the user).
