Flickity v1.1: lazyLoad and arrowShape

19 Jun 2015 · by David DeSandro

Flickity get its first minor release with v1.1. Just in time for summer with Metafizzy's hottest requested feature.

lazyLoad

lazyLoad works by loading images when a cell is selected.

<!-- set image's URL to load with data-flickity-lazyload -->
<img data-flickity-lazyload="full.jpg" />

Set lazyLoad: true in the Flickity options.

Set lazyLoad to a number to load images in adjacent cells. lazyLoad: 2 will load images in the selected cell, the next 2 cells and the previous 2 cells.

arrowShape

Flickity v1.1 brings the new arrowShape option. arrowShape allows you to set a custom shape for the arrow in the previous & next buttons. This is a neat little feature — it doesn't do much, but it's fun to play around with. I even created a WYSIWYG so you can drag around the shape points.
