# Image
Besides the native features of img, support lazy load, custom placeholder and load failure, etc.
## Basic Usage

image/basic-usage
:::
## Placeholder
:::demo Custom placeholder content when image hasn't loaded yet by `slot = placeholder`
image/placeholder
:::
## Load Failed
:::demo Custom failed content when error occurs to image load by `slot = error`
image/load-failed
:::
## Lazy Load
:::tip
Native `loading` has been supported since , you can use `loading = "lazy"` to replace `lazy = true`.
If the current browser supports native lazy loading, the native lazy loading will be used first, otherwise will be implemented through scroll.
:::
:::demo Use lazy load by `lazy = true`. Image will load until scroll into view when set. You can indicate scroll container that adds scroll listener to by `scroll-container`. If undefined, will be the nearest parent container whose overflow property is auto or scroll.

## Image Preview
:::demo allow big image preview by setting `previewSrcList` prop. You can initialize the position of the first picture previewed by `initial-index`. The default initial position is 0.
