Framework7 - Lazy Load

Description

Lazy loading delays your image loading process on a given page. Lazy loading improves scrolling performance, speeds page load and saves traffic.

Lazy load elements and images must be inside of scrollable <div class = "page-content"> to work properly.

The following table demonstrates the use of lazy load −

S.No	Lazy load usage & Description
1	Usage The lazy load can be applied to images, background images and with fade-in effect.
2	Init Lazy Load Manually After initializing a page, if you add lazy load images manually then, lazy load will not work and you need to use methods to initialize it.

It is possible to trigger image loading manually by using lazy event on lazy image/element as shown below −

$$('img.lazy').trigger('lazy');

$$('div.lazy').trigger('lazy');

Example

The following example demonstrates the use of lazy loading in Framework7 −

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html class = "with-statusbar-overlay">

   <head>
      <meta name = "viewport" content = "width = device-width, initial-scale = 1, 
         maximum-scale = 1, minimum-scale = 1, user-scalable = no, minimal-ui" />
      <meta name = "apple-mobile-web-app-capable" content = "yes" />
      <meta name = "apple-mobile-web-app-status-bar-style" content = "black" />
      <title>Lazy Load</title>

Output

Let us carry out the following steps to see how the above given code works −

Save the above given HTML code as framework7_lazy_load.html file in your server root folder.
Open this HTML file as http://localhost/framework7_lazy_load.html and the output is displayed as shown below.
The example specifies the lazy load of images where images will get loaded on the page when you scroll them down.
