Simple cross-platform asynchronous image component for React Native that supports progressive and placeholder images, while providing a placeholder color when one is not provided.

Source is available in the AsyncImageAnimated/src directory. 🙂

• AsyncImageAnimated: Asynchronous image component

npm i --save react-native-async-image-animated

Fetch an image with a 30x30 dimension and a placeholderColor.

<AsyncImageAnimated
  source={{
    uri: 'https://i.imgur.com/R5TraVR.png'
  }}
  placeholderColor={'#cfd8dc'}
  style={{
    height: 30,
    width: 30
  }}
/>

Fetch an image with a 30x30 dimension and a progressive image.

<AsyncImageAnimated
  source={{
    uri: 'https://i.imgur.com/R5TraVR.png'
  }}
  placeholderSource={{
    uri: 'https://i.imgur.com/TSl1zQR.jpg'
  }}
  style={{
    height: 30,
    width: 30
  }}
/>

Fetch an image with a 30x30 dimension and a placeholder image.

<AsyncImageAnimated
  source={{
    uri: 'https://i.imgur.com/R5TraVR.png'
  }}
  placeholderSource={require('./path/to/image.png')}
  style={{
    height: 30,
    width: 30
  }}
/>

• AsyncImageAnimated:

  animationStyle?: 'fade' | 'shrink' | 'explode',
  delay?: number,
  imageKey?: string,
  placeholderColor?: string,
  placeholderSource?: { uri: string } | number,
  source: { uri: string }, // required
  style: ViewStyle, // height & width required
  

• If placeholderSource is set the animationStyle is set to fade. It just looks better.

Run the following in the AsyncImageAnimated directory:

npm i
react-native start
npm run ios // or 'android' or 'start' for both

Then reload to view animations again.
