  onLoad={() => setHeroLoaded(true)}
/>

Default Fallback

When an image fails to load and no custom fallback is provided, the component displays a default fallback with:

• A subtle image icon
• The alt text as a caption
• Proper styling to match your design

TypeScript

The component exports the following types:

import type {
	PageImageProps,
	ImageFit,
	ImageAspectRatio,
	ImageLoadingStrategy,
} from "@pagedotapp/page-image"

Styling

The component uses CSS modules for styling. You can override styles by:

• Passing a custom className for the image element
• Passing a custom containerClassName for the container
• Targeting the component's CSS classes in your global styles

Accessibility

• Always provide meaningful alt text
• When using onClick, the component automatically adds role="button" and tabIndex={0}
• The component maintains proper aspect ratios to prevent layout shift

Performance

• Lazy loading is enabled by default
• Images fade in smoothly when loaded (can be disabled)
• Skeleton loader provides visual feedback during loading
• Prevents layout shift with proper aspect ratio handling

Development

npm run storybook
