# `@docusaurus/lqip-loader`
Low Quality Image Placeholders (LQIP) loader for webpack.
### Installation
```
npm install --save-dev @docusaurus/lqip-loader
```
### Example
Generating Base64 & dominant colours palette for a jpeg image imported in your JS bundle:
> The large image file will be emitted & only 400byte of Base64 (if set to true in the loader options) will be bundled.
#### `webpack.config.js`
```js
{
// OPTION A: default file-loader fallback
test: /\.jpe?g$/,
loaders: [
{
loader: '@docusaurus/lqip-loader',
options: {
path: '/media', // your image going to be in media folder in the output dir
name: '[name].[ext]', // you can use [hash].[ext] too if you wish,
base64: true, // default: true, gives the base64 encoded image
palette: true // default: false, gives the dominant colours palette
}
}
]
// OPTION B: Chained with your own url-loader or file-loader
test: /\.(png|jpe?g)$/,
loaders: [
{
loader: '@docusaurus/lqip-loader',
options: {
base64: true,
palette: false
}
},
{
loader: 'url-loader',
options: {
limit: 8000
}
}
]
}
```
#### `your-app-module.js`
```js
import banner from './images/banner.jpg';
console.log(banner.preSrc);
// outputs: "data:image/jpeg;base64,/9j/2wBDAAYEBQYFBAYGBQYHBwYIChAKCgkJChQODwwQFxQYGBcUFhY....
// the object will have palette property, array will be sorted from most dominant colour to the least
console.log(banner.palette); // [ '#628792', '#bed4d5', '#5d4340', '#ba454d', '#c5dce4', '#551f24' ]
console.log(banner.src); // that's the original image URL to load later!
```
### Important note
To save memory and improve GPU performance, browsers (including Chrome started from 61.0.3163.38) will now render a slightly more crisp or pixelated Base64 encoded images. If you want the blur to be very intense (smooth), here's a fix!
```css
img {
filter: blur(25px);
}
```
More history about the issue can be [found here](https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=771110#c3) and [here](https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/forum/#!topic/blink-dev/6L_3ZZeuA0M).
Alternatively, you can fill the container with a really cheap colour or gradient from the amazing palette we provide.
