ng-defer-load

ng-defer-load is an Angular directive to load elements lazily.

It uses Intersection Observer API to check if an element is in viewport and falls back to scroll detection mechanism for unsupported browsers.

Installation

Using npm:

$ npm i @trademe/ng-defer-load

Usage

1. Import DeferLoadModule into the module corresponding to your component

2. Use the directive with the element you wish to lazy load

  <div
    (deferLoad)="showMyElement=true">
    <my-element
       *ngIf=showMyElement>
      ...
    </my-element>
</div>

Note: You might want to have a loading state for your element with approximately same height as the element.
