mui-image

🌅 mui-image

Materialize your images... the right way.

🏆 The only Material-UI image component to satisfy the Material guidelines for loading images.

Made with ❤️ for Material-UI v5

(If you need to support legacy versions of Material-UI, use material-ui-image instead.)

---

You're already using Material-UI... you may as well display your images according to the Material guidelines too.

Visualize the image fading in, like a print during the photo development process. Images should begin loading with low contrast levels and desaturated color. Once image opacity reaches 100%, display the image with full-color saturation.

1. Install

> npm i mui-image

Usage Examples

You can use mui-image like a regular image.

<Image src="my-image.png" />

Except... it will fade and animate in as the Material guidelines recommend. 🤯

Add a height and/or width to reserve space on the page for the image and avoid uncomforable content shifts as your picture loads. They both default to 100% of the parent you place them in and accept any valid CSS property. Numbers are converted to pixels.

<Image src="my-image.png" width={500} />
<Image src="my-image.png" height="90vh" />

Apply the showLoading prop to add a progress indicator to let your fans know something amazing is coming. You can use the default MUI indicator or bring your own. 😎

<Image src="my-image.png" showLoading />
<Image src="my-image.bmp" showLoading={<MyCustomSpinner />} />

If you want the image to fail silently you can disable the error icon, or you can add your own to suit your brand.

<Image src="my-cats.png" errorIcon={null} />
<Image src="my-dogs.png" errorIcon={<MyErrorIcon />} />

If you want to disobey Google 😵 then you can customise the animation and speed via the duration and easing props to any valid CSS property. Duration is always milliseconds.

<Image src="my-fish.png" duration={325} />
<Image src="my-bird.jpg" easing="ease-in-out" />

To add that extra bit of spice 🌶 you can do exactly what Google suggests and apply a small position shift to images as they appear. The direction and distance (in pixels) is up to you.

<Image src="my-gawd.png" shift="left" />
<Image src="my-lawd.jpg" shift="top" distance={300} />

And of course, you can style mui-image like you would a regular image.

<Image src="my-self.jpeg" style={{ borderRadius: 16 }} />
<Image src="my-exgf.webp" className="image-custom-class" />

If you want to get fancy 💃 you can also style the root wrapper div and loading/error icon wrapper div the same way. This allows for complete customisation of the component.

Material guidelines for loading images

✅ Progressive fade-in

Visualize the image fading in, like a print during the photo development process.

✅ Duration

A longer duration is recommended for loading images, and a shorter duration is recommended for transitions.

✅ Animation

Add a small position shift to loading images.
