Flutter: How to compress network image

Question

I want to implement image compress with cached_network_image but I don't know how to manage both of them at a same time. How do I build my own compressed network image widget in flutter?

Answer 1

We can do the same with cached_network_image as they've added some properties to manage the caching of images at the disk or memory level.

The properties are:

• cacheManager → BaseCacheManager?

Option to use cache manager with other settings

• maxHeightDiskCache → int?

Will resize the image and store the resized image in the disk cache.

• maxWidthDiskCache → int?

Will resize the image and store the resized image in the disk cache.

• memCacheHeight → int?

Will resize the image in memory to have a certain height using ResizeImage

• memCacheWidth → int?

Will resize the image in memory to have a certain width using ResizeImage

As mentioned in API documentation https://pub.dev/documentation/cached_network_image/latest/cached_network_image/CachedNetworkImage-class.html

Other than these we've height and width constraints!
