Lazyload your Components, Images or anything matters the performance.
Why it's better
- Take performance in mind, only 2 event listeners for all lazy-loaded components
- Support both
one-time lazy load
andcontinuous lazy load
mode scroll
/resize
event handler is throttled so you won't suffer frequent update, you can switch to debounce mode too- Decorator supported
- Thoroughly tested
Installation
2.0.0 is finally out, read Upgrade Guide, it's almost painless to upgrade!
$ npm install --save react-lazyload
Usage
import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import LazyLoad from 'react-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>
);
};
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.body);
If you want to have your component lazyloaded by default, try this handy decorator:
import { lazyload } from 'react-lazyload';
@lazyload({
height: 200,
once: true,
offset: 100
})
class MyComponent extends React.Component {
render() {
return <div>this component is lazyloaded by default!</div>;
}
}
You should 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 worring about performance loss or add some pretty entering effect, see this demo for more detail.
Props
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.
If you provide this props with array like [200, 200]
, it will set top edge offset and bottom edge offset respectively.
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 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.
debounce
Type: Bool / Number Default: true
By default, LazyLoad will have all event handlers debounced in 300ms for better performance. You can disable this by setting debounce
to false
, or change debounce time by setting a number value.
throttle
Type: Bool / Number Default: false
If you prefer throttle
rather than debounce
, you can set this props to true
or provide a specific number.
NOTICE Set debounce
/ throttle
to all lazy loaded components unanimously, if you don't, the first occurrence is respected.
placeholder
Type: Any Default: undefined
Specify a placeholder for your lazy loaded component.
If you provide your own placeholder, do remember add appropriate height
or minHeight
to your placeholder element for better lazyload performance.
Utility
forceCheck
This is avaible to manually trigger checking for elements in viewport. Helpful when LazyLoad compoents enter the viewport without resize or scroll events, e.g. when the components' container was hidden then become visible.
Import forceCheck
:
import {forceCheck} from 'react-lazyload';
Then call the function:
forceCheck();
Scripts
$ npm run demo:watch
$ npm run build
Who should use it
Let's say there is a fixed
date picker on the page, when user pick a different date, all components displaying data should send ajax request 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 page.
Using LazyLoad
component will help ease this situation by only update components in viewport.
