HTTP image provider
This is an alternative to Image.network() which makes use of the http package.
Usage
Image(
image: HttpImageProvider(Uri.parse('https://http.cat/200')),
)
Optionally, you can supply your own Client.
// Either by setting it globally
HttpImageProvider.defaultClient = Client();
// or by supplying it via constructor
Image(
image: HttpImageProvider(
Uri.parse('https://http.cat/200'),
client: Client(),
),
)
If you use dio instead of http, try dio_image_provider
Why would I want to use this?
Using the http package allows you to dynamically configure the implementation for how requests are made. In particular, this is useful if you need to use cupertino_http or cronet_http to request images. Another use case is if you need to trace HTTP requests with tools like Sentry.
