http_image_provider 1.0.0

An image provider which makes use of package:http to instead of dart:io

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(),
  ),
)

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.
