A straight forward lazy loader using IntersectionObserver if available and if not, it uses a requestAnimationFrame loop if available. If neither are available it does nothing.
When a watched element is in the view port it swaps data-src/data-srcset on img, source and iframe to src/srcset. It also adds a load listener and removes the data- attribute on load to allow you to hook styles up to the two different states.
If data-srcset to srcset and typeof picturefill, attempts to run picturefill() on the element.
When it runs out of elements to watch, the loop ends.

<script src="path/to/a17-lazyload.min.js"></script>
<script>
lazyload();
</script>Also available via NPM:
npm install @area17/a17-lazyloadimport lazyload from '@area17/a17-lazyload';
lazyload();If you find a bug in a17-lazyload, please add it to the issue tracker or fork it, fix it and submit a pull request for it (👍).
The development script is dist/a17-lazyload.js. Tabs are 2 spaces, functions are commented, variables are camel case and its preferred that its easier to read than outright file size being the smallest possible.
Make sure to include a minified version inside of dist by running: npm run minify (you'll need to npm run install to install terser). The minified version is added to the git repository for users who aren't using build tools.
IE10+ because of the use of requestAnimationFrame if no IntersectionObserver.
