# Lazy Load

### Overview

Add lazyLoad to plugin setup:

    lazyLoad: true

LazyLoad HTML structure requires `class="owl-lazy"` and `data-src="url_to_img"` or/and `data-src-retina="url_to_highres_img"`. If you set above settings not on `<img>` but on other DOM element then Owl will load an image into css inline background style. You can even use picture tags with different sources by adding the `owl-lazy` class to the source tag and a data-srcset attribute.

### Setup

    $('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
        items:4,
        lazyLoad:true,
        loop:true,
        margin:10
    });

### Option

If you want to preload images you can also add the option `lazyLoadEager` to the settings object, where the value indicates how many items to the right (and left, when loop is `true`) will be pre-loaded.

### HTML:

    <div class="owl-carousel owl-theme">
        <img class="owl-lazy" data-src="https://placehold.it/350x450&text=1" data-src-retina="https://placehold.it/350x250&text=1-retina" alt="">
