@mapedy/lazy-loading

This package provides a lightweight and efficient lazy loading script for web developers. It uses the Intersection Observer API to defer loading images, iframes, and background images until they are within the viewport, improving page load times and reducing unnecessary network requests. The script also includes smooth transition animations for a seamless user experience.

Features

- Lazy Loading: Delays loading of images, iframes, and background images until they are visible on the user's screen.
- Smooth Animations: Implements opacity and translate animations to create a smooth appearance effect when elements load.
- Easy Integration: Simply add a lazy class to your HTML elements and let the script handle the rest.
- Lightweight: Minimal footprint, leveraging native browser APIs for maximum efficiency.
- Flexible: Can be re-invoked dynamically for content added after the initial page load.

Installation

You can install the package via npm:

``bash

npm install @mapedy/lazy-loading

document.addEventListener("DOMContentLoaded", function () {
lazyLoad();
});
`

#### Using ES Modules

Changelog

$3

- Replaced old name attribute with 'data-lazy-climbed' to ensure uniqueness and avoid conflicts with other plugins or libraries.
- Added logic to check if an element supports lazy loading. If not, the script attempts to find the nearest child element that does. If no suitable element is found, the script marks the original element as 'unsupported' using the 'data-lazy-climbed' attribute.
- Ensured compatibility with mobile devices and smart TVs by utilizing modern JavaScript features and providing fallback support for environments where IntersectionObserver is not available.
- Improved code robustness by preventing animations from being applied to unsupported elements and refining lazy loading behavior.
