Handles missing or broken image sources gracefully, replacing them with a user-defined fallback or a default placeholder. Simplifies image optimization and improves overall website performance.

## Features

*   **Lazy Loading:**  Improves initial page load performance by loading images only when they enter the viewport.
*   **Customizable Fallback Images:** Provides a mechanism to display a placeholder image if the original image fails to load.
*   **Accessibility:**  Ensures proper `alt` attributes for improved accessibility.
*   **Easy Integration:** Simple and intuitive API for seamless integration into React projects.
*   **Vite Optimized:** Built with Vite for optimal performance and modern build tooling.
* **Default Placeholder:** Provides a default placeholder image if no fallback is specified.

## Installation

```bash
npm install chrobustimage
# or
yarn add chrobustimage

Usage

Import the RobustImage component into your React application:

import React from 'react';
import RobustImage from 'chrobustimage';

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <div>
      <RobustImage
        src="https://example.com/my-image.jpg"
        alt="A descriptive alt text"
        fallbackSrc="/images/fallback-image.png" // Optional: Custom fallback image
        className="my-image"             // Optional: Custom CSS class
        style={{ width: '300px' }}      // Optional: Inline styles
        placeholder={<p>Loading...</p>}  // Optional: Placeholder content
      />
    </div>
  );
}

export default MyComponent;

Or you can just write the component without any props and it will work

import React from 'react';
import RobustImage from 'chrobustimage';

function MyComponent() {
  return (
    <div>
      <RobustImage/>
    </div>
  );
}
export default MyComponent;

Props

| Prop | Type | Default | Description | | ----------- | ------ | ------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | src | string | required| The URL of the image. | | alt | string | "Image"| Alternative text for the image (for accessibility). | | fallbackSrc | string | none | URL of the image to display if the main src image fails to load. | | lazy | boolean| true | Enables or disables lazy loading. | | className | string | "" | CSS class name to apply to the image. | | style | object | {} | Inline styles to apply to the image. | | placeholder | React.ReactNode | null | A React node (e.g., a component, text, or an image) to display while the image is loading.|

Fallback Image

If the src image fails to load and no fallbackSrc is provided, the component will display a default placeholder image.

Placeholder Content

The placeholder prop allows you to display custom content while the image is loading. This can be a loading spinner, a blurred version of the image, or any other React node.

Lazy Loading

Lazy loading is enabled by default, which improves performance by only loading images when they are visible in the viewport. You can disable lazy loading by setting the lazy prop to false.

Customization

You can customize the appearance of the image using CSS classes and inline styles. The className prop allows you to apply CSS rules defined in your stylesheets, while the style prop allows you to set inline styles directly.
