Medium - Progressive Image Loading + Lazysizes (Lazyloading Images)

Medium is a tiny, pure JavaScript library for Progressive Image Loading with a blur effect to reduce the page load time; as seen on [Medium](https://medium.com/designing-medium/image-zoom-on-medium-24d146fc0c20) and the [lazyload functionality](https://github.com/aFarkas/lazysizes).

Demo

Download and extract the file and see index.html to see the demo.

Note: Good only for non-transparent image.

How to use

1. Link files to your site or application (add <script> to bottom of page)

<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/css/pure-media.css">
<script src="dist/js/pure-media.js"></script>

2. Set markup

<figure class="graf-figure">
  <div class="aspectRatioPlaceholder">
    <div class="aspectRatioPlaceholder-fill"></div>
    <div class="progressiveMedia lazyload" data-width="1920" data-height="1080">
      <img class="progressiveMedia-thumbnail" src="small-image-path" alt="" />
      <img class="progressiveMedia-image lazyload" data-src="original-image-path" alt="" />
    </div>
  </div>
</figure>

3. Add src small-image-path for class .progressiveMedia-thumbnail

<img class="progressiveMedia-thumbnail" src="small-image-path" alt="" />

4. Set data-src="path" original-image-path for class .progressiveMedia-image

<img class="progressiveMedia-image lazyload" data-src="original-image-path" alt="" />

5. Using picture tag:

<picture>
  <source media="(max-width:480px)" srcset="mobile-image-path">
  <img class="progressiveMedia-thumbnail" src="small-image-path" alt="" />
  <canvas class="progressiveMedia-canvas"></canvas>
  <img class="progressiveMedia-image lazyload" data-src="original-image-path" alt="" />
</picture>

6. And finally set original image size (width, height) that you used in data-src="path" to data-width and data-height for class .progressiveMedia. For example:

<div class="progressiveMedia lazyload" data-width="1920" data-height="1080">
