React Native Blurhash
A library to show colorful blurry placeholders while your content loads.
Overview:
Blurhash is a library that allows developers to display blurred placeholder previews while images are loading. Instead of showing boring grey boxes, Blurhash provides a compact representation of a placeholder for an image. This library can be used in React Native projects and supports encoding images to blurhashes directly within the app.
Features:
- Compact Placeholder: Blurhash provides a compact representation of a placeholder for an image.
- Blurred Preview: Instead of displaying boring grey little boxes while the image loads, show a blurred preview until the full image has been loaded.
- Expo Compatible: Can be used with development builds in Expo projects without requiring a config plugin.
- Average Color: Retrieve the average color of the given Blurhash using the
getAverageColorfunction. - Native Image Encoder: Includes a native Image encoder for encoding images to blurhashes directly within the React Native app.
- Validation: Validate a blurhash string using the
isValidBlurhashfunction. - Performance Optimization: Decoders are optimized for fast performance, allowing easy usage in collections. Adjust decodeWidth and decodeHeight props for further optimization.
- Asynchronous Decoding: Decode the Blurhash on a separate background thread instead of the main UI-Thread using
decodeAsync={true}. - Caching: The rendered Blurhash is cached as long as the blurhash, decodeWidth, decodeHeight, and decodePunch properties remain unchanged.
- Cosine Operations: Cosine operations are cached in memory to avoid expensive re-calculation.
- React
React is a widely used JavaScript library for building user interfaces and single-page applications. It follows a component-based architecture and uses a virtual DOM to efficiently update and render UI components
- React Native
React Native is a framework for building mobile applications using React and JavaScript. It enables developers to write once and deploy to multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, and the web, while providing a native app-like experience to users.
- Eslint
ESLint is a linter for JavaScript that analyzes code to detect and report on potential problems and errors, as well as enforce consistent code style and best practices, helping developers to write cleaner, more maintainable code.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
