vue-progressive-image

Vue progressive image loading plugin

Installation

$ npm install vue-progressive-image

Usage

import Vue from 'vue'
import VueProgressiveImage from 'vue-progressive-image'

Vue.use(VueProgressiveImage)

Progressive image

Instead of using the normal img tag to load images

<img src="https://unsplash.it/1920/1080" />

use the progressive-img component already globally available after the plugin installation

<progressive-img src="https://unsplash.it/1920/1080" />

Progressive background

It is also possible to apply progressive images as backgrounds

<progressive-background src="https://unsplash.it/1920/1080" />

Placeholders

To be able to immediately show some feedback to the user, it is possible to pass a placeholder image, which could be really small in size or just with a really low quality.

The placeholder will be blurred and displayed almost instantly.

<progressive-img
  src="https://unsplash.it/1920/1080?image=0"
  placeholder="https://unsplash.it/48/27?image=0"
/>

or

<progressive-background
  src="https://unsplash.it/1920/1080?image=0"
  placeholder="https://unsplash.it/48/27?image=0"
/>

The placeholder needs to have the same aspect ratio

Blur

It is possible to adjust the level of blur applied to the placeholder image

<progressive-img
  src="https://unsplash.it/1920/1080?image=0"
  placeholder="https://unsplash.it/48/27?image=0"
  blur="30"
/>

or

<progressive-background
  src="https://unsplash.it/1920/1080?image=0"
  placeholder="https://unsplash.it/48/27?image=0"
  blur="30"
/>

Ratio

It is possible to remove the padding that adds the aspect ratio to the container.

<progressive-img
  src="https://unsplash.it/1920/1080?image=0"
  placeholder="https://unsplash.it/48/27?image=0"
  blur="30"
/>

or

<progressive-background
  src="https://unsplash.it/1920/1080?image=0"
  placeholder="https://unsplash.it/48/27?image=0"
  blur="30"
/>

Options

During the installation process it is possible to pass some default global options

placeholder

• type: String
• required: false

Vue.use(VueProgressiveImage, {
  placeholder: 'https://unsplash.it/1920/1080?image=20'
})

blur

• type: Number
• required: false
• default: 5

Vue.use(VueProgressiveImage, {
  blur: 30
})

delay

• type: Number
• default: 0

This options is for debug only. It lets you have an easy look at the placeholder before the main image is fully loaded.

Vue.use(VueProgressiveImage, {
  delay: 2000 // 2 seconds before the image is displayed
})

Global options like placeholder and blur will be applied only to components that don't specify their own options
