var loadingIndicator = (<div>Loading...</div>)
var images = [];

<Preload
  loadingIndicator={loadingIndicator}
  images={images}
  autoResolveDelay={3000}
  onError={this._handleImageLoadError}
  onSuccess={this._handleImageLoadSuccess}
  resolveOnError={true}
  mountChildren={true}
  >
	{/* content to be rendered once loading is complete*/}
</Preload>
