Attributes

is (is="progressive-image")

Specify that a standard HTML element (img) should behave like a registered custom built-in element (progressive-image).

See Using custom elements for more details

src

Same as src attribute on the img tag.

srcset

Same as srcset attribute on the img tag.

sizes

Same as sizes attribute on the img tag.

See Responsive Images for usage of sizes and srcset.

alt

Same as alt attribute on the img tag.

data-blurry-src

Optional attribute

The data-blurry-src attribute defined the source for Low quality image placeholder(LQIP) of the img element. By default, the image of data-blurry-src is immediately downloaded and shown in blurry form. The final image will start download after LQIP is shown. Once ready, the LQIP will fade out and show the final image.

height and width

An explicit size of the image, which is used by the progressive-image to determine the aspect ratio without fetching the image.

Compatibility

Requires ES2015 classes. IE11 and below not supported.

If targeting browsers that natively support ES2015, but not native Web Components:
You will also need the Custom Elements V1 Polyfill.
See caniuse.com for support on Custom Elements v1.
If targeting browsers that does not support ES2015:
You might want to reconsider since you'll be better off not using Web Components in this case.
