FFImageLoading.Compat - Fast & Furious Image Loading for .NET MAUI

March 9, 2023 ยท View on GitHub

Forked from the amazingly popular original FFImageLoading Library, this Compat version aims to ease your migration from Xamarin.Forms to .NET MAUI with a compatible implementation to get you up and running without rewriting the parts of your app that relied on the original library.

Thanks to the Original Authors: Daniel Luberda, Fabien Molinet.

Usage

  1. Install NuGet(s)
  2. Add .UseFFImageLoading() to your MAUI app builder.

Features

  • .NET MAUI (iOS, MacCatalyst, Android, Windows) support
  • Configurable disk and memory caching
  • Multiple image views using the same image source (url, path, resource) will use only one bitmap which is cached in memory (less memory usage)
  • Deduplication of similar download/load requests. (If 100 similar requests arrive at same time then one real loading will be performed while 99 others will wait).
  • Error and loading placeholders support
  • Images can be automatically downsampled to specified size (less memory usage)
  • Fluent API which is inspired by Picasso naming
  • SVG / WebP / GIF support
  • Image loading Fade-In animations support
  • Can retry image downloads (RetryCount, RetryDelay)
  • Android bitmap optimization. Saves 50% of memory by trying not to use transparency channel when possible.
  • Transformations support
    • BlurredTransformation
    • CircleTransformation, RoundedTransformation, CornersTransformation, CropTransformation
    • ColorSpaceTransformation, GrayscaleTransformation, SepiaTransformation, TintTransformation
    • FlipTransformation, RotateTransformation
    • Supports custom transformations (native platform ITransformation implementations)
