A factory to preload images for your Ionic app.
First, import the script into your page.
<script src="lib/ionic.ion.imagecachefactory.js">
</script>
Next, import the module into your app.
angular.module('myCoolApp', ['ionic','ionic.ion.imageCacheFactory'])
Finally, you can call the factory by passing it an array of image URLs to preload.
$ImageCacheFactory.Cache([
"http://domain.com/path/to/kittens.jpg",
"http://domain.com/path/to/kittens2.jpg",
"http://domain.com/path/to/kittens3.jpg"
]);
The Cache
method retuns a promise when all images have been loaded.
$ImageCacheFactory.Cache([
"http://domain.com/path/to/kittens.jpg",
"http://domain.com/path/to/kittens2.jpg",
"http://domain.com/path/to/kittens3.jpg"
]).then(function(){
console.log("Images done loading!");
});
If any of the images result in an error, you can handle that as well by passing a second function to your then
.
$ImageCacheFactory.Cache([
"http://domain.com/path/to/kittens.jpg",
"http://domain.com/path/to/kittens2.jpg",
"http://domain.com/path/to/kittens3.jpg"
]).then(function(){
console.log("Images done loading!");
},function(failed){
console.log("An image failed: "+failed);
});
