About The Project

By combining the power of browser Intersection Observer API and React Lazy API I've created a simple component that will allow you to lazy load your component when it appears in the browser's viewport.

Don't load components that user won't see on the first render, React Laz-y will detect the scroll position for you and inject the correct code when it's actually needed.

Getting Started

To install, follow these few steps.

Prerequisites

Before you start, make sure you use:

• React >= 16.6.0
• npm

npm install npm@latest -g

Installation

• Install with npm

npm i react-laz-y-component-loader

or

• Install with yarn

yarn add react-laz-y-component-loader

Usage

Basic example

Pass a component imported with React.lazy API as a children.

import React from 'react';
import ReactLazy from 'react-laz-y-component-loader';

const MyComponent = React.lazy(() => import('./MyComponent'));

function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <header style={{ height: '300vh' }}>
        <h1>My awesome title</h1>
      </header>
      <main>
        <ReactLazy>
          <MyComponent />
        </ReactLazy>
      </main>
    </>
  );
};

export default App;

Usage with rootMargin property

Pass the rootMargin props to increase or decrease the area of the root bounding box.

import React from 'react';
import ReactLazy from 'react-laz-y-component-loader';

const MyComponent = React.lazy(() => import('./MyComponent'));

function App() {
  return (
    <>
      <header style={{ height: '300vh' }}>
        <h1>My awesome title</h1>
      </header>
      <main>
        <ReactLazy rootMargin="100px 0px">
          <MyComponent />
        </ReactLazy>
      </main>
    </>
  );
};

export default App;

Notes

• Currently React Laz-y doesn't work with SSR due you React Lazy API limitations.
• React Lazy API only supports default exports. There's a simple workaround that you can find here.
• Intersection Observer API doesn't work with Internet Explorer. If you really need to support it, you can use polyfill. Simply import it in your project.
