import { ImgFallbackModule } from 'ngx-img-fallback';

Use it in you component

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({

Events

(loaded)

ngx-img-fallback provides (loaded) event which is fired when either src or src-fallback is loaded. To determinate whether original source or fallback is loaded - add a param to your callback for the (loaded) event.

Example:

First add callback to your component

onLoaded(isFallback: boolean) {
  // make somthing based on 'isFallback'
}

and then bind it to the loaded event

<img src="picture1.png" src-fallback="picture2.png" (loaded)="onLoaded($event)">
