Question

I am working with Expo and i dont want to use dev client. Anyone got any alternative to react-native-fast-image or a way to implement it without using dev client?

Answer 1

expo-image is a better alternative to react-native-fast-image. It is still new package. Here's link for it's doc https://docs.expo.dev/versions/latest/sdk/image/

Answer 2

There are bunch of alternatives available instead of react-native-fast-image . These are some of them

1. react-native-scroll-lazy
2. @times-components/lazy-load
3. @freakycoder/react-native-progressive-fast-image
4. react-native-progressive-image
5. react-native-just-timeline
6. rn-progressive-image

Try anything from these.

Answer 3

This is a new package and does not have as many features as react-native-fast-image yet but it handles remote images rapidly with disk/memory caching.
