[Lazy-load][1] is a simple Drupal module which integrates [bLazy][2]
lazy-loading script via image field *display formatters* and *input-filters* for
inline images and iframes.
There is another contributed module utilizing its namesake, [Blazy][3]. Make
sure to check it out, especially if you need more advanced features and support
for many features out of the box.
This module started to fill-in the only area Blazy module lacks of;
**inline-images** and **inline-iframes**. Now, Lazy-load can also be enabled for
each image field as well.
You can use [Lazy-load][1] module tandem with [Blazy][3], though that is not a
requirement.
## Requirements
* **[Libraries API][5]** module (Drupal 7 only)
* **bLazy v1.8.2** script as a library item
## Installing Manually
- [Download bLazy][4] from https://github.com/dinbror/blazy
- Extract the downloaded file,
- rename *blazy-master* directory to *blazy*,
- copy the folder into one of the following places that *Libraries API*
module supports, `sites/all/libraries` (or site-specific libraries folder):
i.e.: `sites/all/libraries/blazy/blazy.min.js`
## Installing via Composer
- Run `composer require --prefer-dist composer/installers` to ensure that you
have the `composer/installers` package installed. This package facilitates the
installation of packages into directories other than `/vendor`
(e.g. `/libraries`) using Composer.
- If your `composer.json` doesnt already have a definition for the libraries
path, define one similar to the one below, depending on your setup:
``` json
"extra": {
"installer-paths": {
"web/sites/all/libraries/{$name}": ["type:drupal-library"]
}
}
```
- Add following to the “repositories” section of `composer.json`:
``` json
"repositories": [
{
"type": "package",
"package": {
"name": "dinbror/blazy",
"version": "1.8.2",
"type": "drupal-library",
"extra": {
"installer-name": "blazy"
},
"source": {
"type": "git",
"url": "https://github.com/dinbror/blazy",
"reference": "1.8.2"
}
}
}
]
```
- Install the required **Blazy** library:
`composer require 'dinbror/blazy:1.8.2'`
- Install this module:
`composer require 'drupal/lazy:^1.0'`
## Usage
There are two options to set up for your site to lazy-load images. And both options share the same [settings](/admin/config/content/lazy).
1. Image fields
2. Inline images and Iframes managed in rich-text fields (ckeditor)
### Image Fields
1. Go to **Manage display** page of the entity type you want to enable lazy-loading. *i.e. Article*
2. Select the **display** you want the change. *i.e. Teaser*
3. Change the format from `Image` to
`Lazy-load image` to enable lazy-loading for the selected field.
The `Image` formatter settings for
_image style_ and _link image to_ should remain unchanged.
### Inline images and Iframes
1. **Configure** the [text format](/admin/config/content/formats) you want to enable lazy-loading. *i.e. Full HTML*
2. Check **Lazy-load images and IFRAMEs via bLazy** option to enable the filter, and save configuration.
3. Go to [Lazy-load settings](/admin/config/content/lazy).
4. Check the boxes for the inline elements to be lazy-loaded via filter `<img>` `<iframe>`
5. Save configuration
*Repeat steps 1-2 for each text-format you want to enable lazy-loading.*
To disable lazy-loading for specific image or iframes, add **skip-class** to the
class attribute. Default value (no-b-lazy) can be changed in the configuration.
``` html
<img class="no-b-lazy" src="this-image-will-load-normal" alt="">
```
### Blazy plugin can be manupulated in your theme/module javascript:
The options in **Blazy configuration** section of the settings form are the default options of the Blazy library. Refer to [Blazy plugin documentation][5] for each setting.
#### Get Blazy plugin options.
```js
let opt = Drupal.settings.lazy ? Drupal.settings.lazy : {};
```
#### Access Blazy's public functions:
| Function | Description |
|:--|:--|
| `Drupal.lazy.revalidate();` | Revalidates document for visible images. Useful if you add images with scripting or ajax |
| `Drupal.lazy.load(element(s), force);` | Forces the given element(s) to load if not collapsed. If you also want to load a collapsed/hidden elements you can add true as the second parameter. You can pass a single element or a list of elements. Tested with getElementById, getElementsByClassName, querySelectorAll, querySelector and jQuery selector. |
| `Drupal.lazy.destroy();` | Unbind events and resets image array |
## Use Case
If you have numerous images and/or iframes in your content, it could become
a challenge to update that content to make compatible for lazy-loading. In
most cases those updates needs to be handled manually, because most of the time
if not all, the body content (HTML) doesn't follow a pattern to update
them programmatically.
This is the main reason I created this module, to avoid a need for altering body
content manually while making them easy to lazy-load.
**The *Lazy-load* filter doesn't make any changes to existing content.** It only
rewrites the `<img>` and/or `<iframe>` tags in already rendered output to have
them compatible for bLazy script to lazy-load. Since the filtered output is
cached, there should not be any changes in performance.
