const imageObserver = new IntersectionObserver((entries, observer) => {
entries.forEach(entry => {
if (entry.isIntersecting) {
const img = entry.target;
const src = img.getAttribute('data-src');
const srcset = img.getAttribute('data-srcset');
// Load image
if (src) img.src = src;
if (srcset) img.srcset = srcset;
img.classList.remove('lazy-load');
img.classList.add('lazy-loaded');
// Stop observing this image
observer.unobserve(img);
}
});
}, {
rootMargin: '50px 0px', // Start loading 50px before entering viewport
threshold: 0.01
});
lazyImages.forEach(img => imageObserver.observe(img));
});
