best practice to load local images

[aknad]

Question

I can't understand what's the best way to load local images

the documentation suggests to use react-native-svg-transformer

In this issue I found the WithLocalSvg component but it's not officially documented

Also, in the latest comment of that issue there's another implementation suggestion

Which one should I use?
Thanks

As I have understood from reading the issue you have referenced, the best practice is to:

• use transformer as suggested
• if for some reason you are unable to use the transformer, LocalSvg could work, but with possibly worse performance

From the author comment:

i'd still prioritise both battery energy and render time / user perceived latency by using the transformer approach, it'll quite certainly give wider budgets and thus handle more complex content with acceptable performance, especially on low-end devices, or when low on resources in general.

Hello @aknad,
As @olessavluk mentioned, the optimal method is to utilize react-native-svg-transformer. If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to open a new issue for discussion.

Thank you.
