jquery-postify

Postify is a jQuery plugin that allows you to load images after the main part of the page has been loaded. It works by some kind of AJAX calls and has several possibilties to customize. Live Preview

usage

The only thing you have to do is to create a new, empty div container with the tag data-postify which contains the url of the image. After that, simply call the postify() method and provide some options:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('div.postify').postify({...});
});

options

• url (undefined): url to override the data-postify tag
• animation (default: fade): how should the images be shown up?
  • slideUp
  • slideDown
  • slideLeft
  • slideRight
  • fade
  • scale
  • flip
  • custom animation
• delay (0ms): wait some time to load images
• priority (0): Load images in a certain order
• showLoading (true): display loading animations while image is loading?
• loadingClass (postify-loading): which class has the surrounding container element?
• loadingElements (<div></div><div></div><div></div><div></div>): which elements should be added to use the css loading animation?
• adjustSize (parent): how should the size of image or parent be adjusted?
  • parent: adjust parent size to match image
  • cover: scale image to fill whole parent
  • auto: scale image to fit parent best so it won't get cut
  • childHeight: force image to scale by height, that it fits parent (width gets calculated automatically)
  • childWidth: force image to scale by width, that it fits parent (height gets calculated automatically)

tips and tricks

If you have some problems with scaling when using adjustSize: 'parent' try to surround it with an additional div container and assign height and width to that, especially when working with bootstrap:

<div class="col col-4">
	<div style="height: 400px; width: 100%;">
		<div class="postify postify-test1" data-postify="img/img-1.jpg"></div>
	</div>
</div>
