Need an alternative, this repo is dead

[karam1ashqar]

Several significant issues: OnLoad, OnProgress, OnLoadEnd events are not called in android, New Fabric Architecture Support, crashing on nexus devices, and more, we need an alternative

[jzaefferer]

@karam1ashqar have you tried https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/image/ ? That looks like a potential replacement

[mvn-tony-hn]

Hi @jzaefferer do you have any other alternative solution without using the expo project

[julwil]

@karam1ashqar Possibly this one?: https://github.com/georstat/react-native-image-cache

[fukemy]

for Android this is best lib, for IOS please using faster-image, it's better by using Nuke

[lchenfox]

Hopefully someone can continue to maintain this repository... The repo is very useful at any time:disappointed:.

[spark3y]

@karam1ashqar Not all features available yet but maybe this repo works for you https://github.com/xerdnu/react-native-blasted-image

[KristiMita]

Is https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-native-blasted-image a good choice? Trying to find a good replacement for react-native-fast-image without using expo-image?

[diegodorado]

@xerdnu, can you mention the differences between blasted image and this repo?

As you say there it is inspired by this one, but I am curious about why you didn't a fork instead

[xerdnu]

@diegodorado react-native-blasted-image is a simplified image component that handles the most regular use cases without overcomplicating stuff.

I have no interest in forking this project as it just has too many features for me that i just dont need and have no interest in maintaining.

Personally i just wanted a streamlined image component that gets the job done with the most common features.

Best regards! 🚀

[fukemy]

expo-image is the best choice now

[ngdbao]

If someone doesn't felling good to maintain a public repo anymore, why can't he/she just authorized permission for anyone else before leaving?
I believe many others willing to be authorized this repo.

Or may be it's a sad story, she/he gone actually?

Everyone should migrate to expo libraries as they are highly maintained with high quality. This repo is a proof of this

I'd love to. But the price paid is relatively high, that means the whole project's all dependencies and the structure will be corrupted. From where I stand, so, we should find a better way to support the repos instead.

stand
Expo is mostly free except EAS for building and publishing which you don't have to use basically

You can use expo-image without going all in on the Expo ecosystem.

There's also a new alternative, Faster Image, https://github.com/candlefinance/faster-image
