🎯 Use Cases

1. Image Lists & Grids

Perfect for optimizing performance in scrolling lists:

ListView.builder(
  itemBuilder: (context, index) => LazyCacheImage(
    imageUrl: images[index],
    visibilityFraction: 0.1,
  ),
)

2. SVG Support

LazyCacheImage(
  imageUrl: 'https://example.com/vector.svg',
  fit: BoxFit.contain,
)

3. Offline Support

Images remain available offline after first load:

LazyCacheImage(
  imageUrl: url,
  placeholder: const Text('Loading from cache...'),
)

4. Cache Management

Easy cache control:

final cacheProvider = CacheProvider();

// Clear specific image
await cacheProvider.clearCache(imageUrl);

// Clear all cached images
await cacheProvider.clearAllCache();

// Get cache size
final size = await cacheProvider.getCacheSize();
