Imago #

A powerful and flexible image widget for Flutter applications with support for network images, local assets, and file images.

Features #

• 🖼️ Multiple Image Types: Support for network images, local SVG assets, local image assets, and file images
• 🚀 Built-in Caching: Automatic caching for network images using cached_network_image
• 🎨 Customizable Placeholders: Custom placeholder widgets and error handling
• 🛡️ Error Handling: Graceful error handling with customizable error widgets

Getting Started #

Add this to your package's pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  imago: ^1.0.0

Then run:

flutter pub get

Assets Structure #

Place your assets in these directories for automatic path resolution:

• SVG files: assets/svg/ (e.g., assets/svg/icons/icon.svg)
• Image files: assets/images/ (e.g., assets/images/logos/logo.png)
• Default placeholder: assets/images/placeholders/placeholder.png (optional - uses icon fallback if not found)

Imago automatically resolves paths:

• Imago.localSvg('icons/icon') → assets/svg/icons/icon.svg
• Imago.localImage('logos/logo') → assets/images/logos/logo.png

Usage #

Basic Usage #

import 'package:imago/imago.dart';

// Network image
Imago('https://example.com/image.jpg')

// Local SVG
Imago.localSvg('icon_name')

// Local image
Imago.localImage('image_name')

// File image
Imago.file('/path/to/image.jpg')

Advanced Usage #

// Network image with fallback
Imago.of(
  remoteUrl: 'https://example.com/image.jpg',
  localFallback: 'placeholder',
  localFallbackType: ImageType.localImage,
  width: 200,
  height: 200,
  borderRadius: BorderRadius.circular(10),
  showProgressIndicator: true,
)

// Custom placeholder
Imago(
  'https://example.com/image.jpg',
  width: 100,

  ),
  errorWidget: (context, url, error) => Container(
    color: Colors.red[100],
    child: Icon(Icons.error),
  ),
)

// SVG with custom styling
Imago.localSvg(

  memCacheWidth: 300,
  memCacheHeight: 300,
)

Asset Existence Checking #

// Check if asset exists (async)
bool exists = await Imago.assetExists('assets/images/placeholders/placeholder.png');

// Check if asset exists (sync)
bool exists = Imago.assetExistsSync('assets/images/placeholders/placeholder.png');

// Use with conditional logic
if (Imago.assetExistsSync('assets/images/custom/placeholder.png')) {
  Imago('https://example.com/image.jpg', placeholder: 'assets/images/custom/placeholder.png')
} else {
  // Uses default icon-based placeholder
  Imago('https://example.com/image.jpg')
}

Default Placeholder #

Imago now uses an icon-based placeholder by default (Icons.image_outlined) instead of requiring a placeholder image asset. This provides:

• No asset dependency - No need to include placeholder images
• Consistent appearance - Uses Material Design icons
• Responsive sizing - Icon scales with container size
• Better performance - No asset loading required
