Changing img src in angular 6 not displaying new image until it's been fully loaded












1














I'm having some unexpected behavior with my angular app when I update an image's source and I'm hoping someone can help me out.



I have something like this:



<img [src]="imageUrl" />


and update imageUrl in my component whenever users click a button to see the next image. This works.



When the first image loads I see it loading from top to bottom.



However, subsequent images don't display this way. When I change the imageUrl variable, I can see the url change in another place on the screen, but the actual image does not change until it's fully loaded, and then it pops in to place.



So my question: Is there some way to make the subsequent images load in the same manner as the original? Some of my images can be quite large, and are useful to users before they're 100% loaded, so I'd really like for them to be able to see them as they load if possible.



I tried using document.getElementById and then updating the src attribute that way, and it seemed to perform the same way unfortunately. If I do something like this:



const container = document.getElementById('imagePlaceholder');
const img = document.createElement('img');
container.innerHTML = '';
img.setAttribute('src', this.imageUrl);
container.appendChild(img);


It does load the way I'd like.



Any ideas?



edit: Found some good example images for what I'm talking about from here. First image loads like this, and then the subsequent images load like this (without the loading indicator)



edit 2: Figured out a better workaround. Using *ngFor and putting imageUrl as the only thing in it gets the desired results. Still weird, but much better than fiddling with the dom.



imageUrls = [ this.imageUrl ];
...
<img *ngFor="let url of imageUrls" [src]="url" />

    save your images as "interlaced" or "progressive" depending on the type. That should do it.

  • You might preload the images, so you'd not load them on click.

  • @RandyCasburn - Just tried this, but it didn't seem to change anything. I still see the first image load top to bottom, and all subsequent images just pop in to place eventually.

  • @KoshVery - I do preload the next image, which definitely helps, but sometimes people need to skip over multiple images. There are a lot of images, so preloading all of them is not an option.
