Usage

This is how you can use MediaLazyLoad for Laravel in your project.

Enable

You must set true on enabled in the config/medialazyload.php file enable media lazy loading functionality. For example:

Jquery for Lazy Loading

If you want to use Jquery to handle lazy loading, then set true on jquery and you can specify its CDN URL on jqueryUrl in the config/medialazyload.php file. For example:

Allowed Environments

If you want to disable it in specific environments such as during local development or testing to simplify debugging. Then set environments values in a comma (,) separated string in the config/medialazyload.php file, default local,production,staging. For example:

Skip or Ignore specific Routes Urls

If you want to skip or ignore specific routes urls, then you have to set paths in the config/medialazyload.php file. You can use '*' as wildcard. For example:

Example URLs:

• /: Home URL will be excluded from minification.
• about: This exact URL will be excluded from minification.
• user/*: Any URL starting with user/ (like user/profile, user/settings) will be excluded.
• *_dashboard: Any URL ending with _dashboard (like admin_dashboard, user_dashboard) will be excluded.
• */download/*: Any URL has download (like pdf/download/001, image/download/debjyotikar001) will be excluded.

Root Margin

This option allows you to control how early or late the elements should be lazy-loaded relative to their position in the viewport. You can set values in the config/medialazyload.php file, default '0px 0px 100px 0px'. Format: 'top right bottom left'. For example:

Here '0px 0px 100px 0px' means that elements will start loading 100px before they enter the viewport from the bottom. You can also use percentages (e.g., '10% 0px 0px 0px').

Threshold

This option allows you to control how much of an element must be visible in the viewport before it starts loading. It accepts a value between 0 and 1. You can set values in the config/medialazyload.php file, default 0.1. For example:

Here 0.1 means the element will start loading when 10% of it is visible in the viewport.

Example values:

• 0 means elements will start loading as soon as one pixel is visible.
• 1 means the element will only load when it's fully visible in the viewport.
• 0.05 means that 5% of the element needs to be visible before loading starts.
• 0.1 means that 10% of the element needs to be visible before loading starts.
