`SnapImage` creates a temporary image using SVG that looks _kind of_ like the incoming image, and
|
||
|
|
when that image finally loads fades it into view. This helps with _perceived_ render speed in the
|
||
|
|
following ways:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
1. The aspect ratio of the image is placed before the page loads, reducing or eliminating render shift.
|
||
|
|
2. A block of responsive SVG loads instantly which tricks the browser into fully rendering the whole page making it seem faster.
|
||
|
|
3. The rendered colors look enough like the image for the brief time they're present that people percieve the image as loading faster even when it's not.
|
||
|

By default `SnapImage` will use a set of random monochrome colors if none are given. You can change the options used to generate the random colors by setting `random_options` like this:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
random_options = {
|
||
|
|
hue: "monochrome",
|
||
|
|
"format": "rgbArray",
|
||
|
|
"luminosity": "random",
|
||
|
|
count: 10
|
||
|
|
}
|
||
|
|
```
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
These options come from the [randomColor project by davidmerfield](https://github.com/davidmerfield/randomColor) which is used in the project for all random color generation.

To generate your own colors there's a tiny script I'm using:
