ion-img

Img is a tag that will lazily load an image when ever the tag is in the viewport. This is extremely useful when generating a large list as images are only loaded when they're visible. The component uses Intersection Observer internally, which is supported in most modern browser, but falls back to a setTimeout when it is not supported.

Usage

<ion-list>
  <ion-item *ngFor="let item of items">
    <ion-thumbnail slot="start">
      <ion-img [src]="item.src"></ion-img>
    </ion-thumbnail>
    <ion-label>{{item.text}}</ion-label>
  </ion-item>
</ion-list>
import React from 'react';
import { IonList, IonItem, IonThumbnail, IonImg, IonLabel, IonContent } from '@ionic/react';

type Item = {
  src: string;
  text: string;
};
const items: Item[] = [{ src: 'http://placekitten.com/g/200/300', text: 'a picture of a cat' }];

export const ImgExample: React.FC = () => (
  <IonContent>
    <IonList>
      {items.map((image, i) => (
        <IonItem key={i}>
          <IonThumbnail slot="start">
            <IonImg src={image.src} />
          </IonThumbnail>
          <IonLabel>{image.text}</IonLabel>
        </IonItem>
      ))}
    </IonList>
  </IonContent>
);
<template>
  <ion-list>
    <ion-item v-for="item in items" :key="item.src">
      <ion-thumbnail slot="start">
        <ion-img :src="item.src"></ion-img>
      </ion-thumbnail>
      <ion-label>{{item.text}}</ion-label>
    </ion-item>
