Lazyload your Components, Images or anything matters the performance.
- Take performance in mind, only 2 event listeners for all lazy-loaded components
- Support both
one-time lazy loadandcontinuous lazy loadmode scroll/resizeevent handler is throttled so you won't suffer frequent update, you can switch to debounce mode too- Decorator supported
- Server Side Rendering friendly
- Thoroughly tested
2.0.0 is finally out, read Upgrade Guide, it's almost painless to upgrade!
$ npm install --save rax-lazyload
import { createElement, render } from 'rax';
import LazyLoad from 'rax-lazyload';
import MyComponent from './MyComponent';
const App = () => {
return (
<div className="list">
<LazyLoad height={200}>
<img src="tiger.jpg" /> /*
Lazy loading images is supported out of box,
no extra config needed, set `height` for better
experience
*/
</LazyLoad>
<LazyLoad height={200} once >
/* Once this component is loaded, LazyLoad will
not care about it anymore, set this to `true`
if you're concerned about improving performance */
<MyComponent />
</LazyLoad>
<LazyLoad height={200} offset={100}>
/* This component will be loaded when it's top
edge is 100px from viewport. It's useful to
make user ignorant about lazy load effect. */
<MyComponent />
</LazyLoad>
<LazyLoad>
<MyComponent />
</LazyLoad>
</div>
);
};
render(<App />, document.body);
## Special Tips
You should be aware that your component will only be mounted when it's visible in viewport, before that a placeholder will be rendered.
So you can safely send request in your component's `componentDidMount` without worrying about performance loss or add some pretty entering effects, see this [demo](https://twobin.github.io/react-lazyload/examples/#/fadein) for more detail.
## Props
### children
Type: Node Default: undefined
**NOTICE**
Only one child is allowed to be passed.
### scrollContainer
Type: String/DOM node Default: undefined
Pass a query selector string or DOM node. LazyLoad will attach to the window object's scroll events if no container is passed.
### height
Type: Number/String Default: undefined
In the first round of render, LazyLoad will render a placeholder for your component if no placeholder is provided and measure if this component is visible. Set `height` properly will make LazyLoad calculate more precisely. The value can be number or string like `'100%'`. You can also use css to set the height of the placeholder instead of using `height`.
### once
Type: Bool Default: false
Once the lazy loaded component is loaded, do not detect scroll/resize event anymore. Useful for images or simple components.
### offset
Type: Number/Array(Number) Default: 0
Say if you want to preload a component even if it's 100px below the viewport (user have to scroll 100px more to see this component), you can set `offset` props to `100`. On the other hand, if you want to delay loading a component even if it's top edge has already appeared at viewport, set `offset` to negative number.
Library supports horizontal lazy load out of the box. So when you provide this prop with number like `100` it will automatically set left edge offset to `100` and top edge to `100`;
If you provide this prop with array like `[100, 200]`, it will set left edge offset to `100` and top offset to `200`.
### scroll
Type: Bool Default: true
Listen and react to scroll event.
### resize
Type: Bool Default: false
Respond to `resize` event, set it to `true` if you do need LazyLoad listen resize event.
**NOTICE** If you tend to support legacy IE, set this props carefully, refer to [this question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/1852751/window-resize-event-firing-in-internet-explorer) for further reading.
### overflow
Type: Bool Default: false
If lazy loading components inside a overflow container, set this to `true`. Also make sure a `position` property other than `static` has been set to your overflow container.
[demo](https://twobin.github.io/react-lazyload/examples/#/overflow)
### placeholder
Type: Any Default: undefined
Specify a placeholder for your lazy loaded component.
[demo](https://twobin.github.io/react-lazyload/examples/#/placeholder)
**If you provide your own placeholder, do remember add appropriate `height` or `minHeight` to your placeholder element for better lazyload performance.**
### unmountIfInvisible
Type: Bool Default: false
The lazy loaded component is unmounted and replaced by the placeholder when it is no longer visible in the viewport.
### debounce/throttle
Type: Bool / Number Default: undefined
Lazyload will try to use [passive event](https://github.com/WICG/EventListenerOptions/blob/gh-pages/explainer.md) by default to improve scroll/resize event handler's performance. If you prefer control this behaviour by yourself, you can set `debounce` or `throttle` to enable built in delay feature.
If you provide a number, that will be how many `ms` to wait; if you provide `true`, the wait time defaults to `300ms`.
**NOTICE** Set `debounce` / `throttle` to all lazy loaded components unanimously, if you don't, the first occurrence is respected.
[demo](https://twobin.github.io/react-lazyload/examples/#/debounce)
### wheel
**DEPRECATED NOTICE**
This props is not supported anymore, try set `overflow` for lazy loading in overflow containers.
## Utility
### forceCheck
It is available to manually trigger checking for elements in viewport. Helpful when LazyLoad components enter the viewport without resize or scroll events, e.g. when the components' container was hidden then become visible.
Import `forceCheck`:
```javascript
import { forceCheck } from 'rax-lazyload';Then call the function:
forceCheck();Forces the component to display regardless of whether the element is visible in the viewport.
import { forceVisible } from 'rax-lazyload';Then call the function:
forceVisible();$ npm run build
Let's say there is a fixed date picker on the page, when user picks a different date, all components displaying data should send ajax requests with new date parameter to retreive updated data, even many of them aren't visible in viewport. This makes server load furious when there are too many requests in one time.
Using LazyLoad component will help ease this situation by only updating components visible in viewport.
