npm install be-lazybe-lazy (🦥)
be-lazy loads a template into the live DOM tree only when it becomes visible (or is about to be visible based on threshold settings.)
Size of package, including custom element behavior framework (be-decorated):
Size of new code in this package:
The consumer of be-lazy needs to use css to set the size to something approximating what it will be when instantiated:
``
html
I am here
`
The role of be-lazy ends once it becomes viewable, and the content is instantiated. In fact, the template is deleted at that point.
Options include setting IntersectionObserverInit settings:
`html
`
Other configuration settings include "enterDelay" and "exitDelay". The idea behind those settings is if the user is scrolling very quickly, it can slow the scrolling down if it is instantiating templates that have already zoomed past.
be-lazy can hold its own against content-visibility in terms of performance.
It is most effective if content is "paged" -- be-lazy really shouldn't hold a single div tag as shown above, but the amount of content inside should approximately fill the screen.
be-lazy is currently being used by one virtual list - xtal-vlist.
