Sketch is an image loading library specially designed for Compose Multiplatform and Android View. It
has the following features:

* `Multiple sources`: Supports loading images from multiple sources such as http, file,
  compose resource, android asset/content/resource, etc.
* `Powerful functions`: Supports three-level caching, automatically cancels requests, automatically
  adjusts image size, automatically rotates images according to Exif Orientation, etc.
* `Rich functions`: Supports Animated image, SVG images, Base64 images, and video frames
* `Easy to expand`: Supports expansion of various aspects such as caching, decoding, transformation,
  transition, placeholder, etc.
* `Extended functions`: Practical extensions such as pausing downloads when cellular data is
  provided, pausing loading during list scrolling, image type badges, download progress indicators,
  etc.
* `Modern`: Completely based on Kotlin and Kotlin coroutine design

## Sample App

* For Android, iOS, desktop version, and web deployable packages, please go to
  the [Releases](https://github.com/panpf/sketch/releases) page to download.
* Web example：https://panpf.github.io/sketch/app

## Install

`Published to mavenCentral`

`${LAST_VERSION}`: [![Download][version_icon]][version_link] (Not included 'v')

### Compose Multiplatform:

Import the required Compose and network modules:

```kotlin
// Provides the core functions of Sketch as well as singletons and extension 
// functions that rely on singleton implementations
implementation("io.github.panpf.sketch4:sketch-compose:${LAST_VERSION}")

// Provides the ability to load network images
implementation("io.github.panpf.sketch4:sketch-http:${LAST_VERSION}")
```

> [!IMPORTANT]
> To improve the performance of compose, please copy [compose_compiler_config.conf] under
> the `sketch-core` module file to your project and configure it according to
> the [Compose Stability Configuration][stability_configuration] documentation

### Android View:

Import the required View and network modules:

```kotlin
// Provides the core functions of Sketch as well as singletons and extension 
// functions that rely on singleton implementations
implementation("io.github.panpf.sketch4:sketch-view:${LAST_VERSION}")

// Provides the ability to load network images
implementation("io.github.panpf.sketch4:sketch-http:${LAST_VERSION}")
```

### Optional modules:

```kotlin
// Use Android or Skia's built-in decoder to decode gif animations and play them

implementation("io.github.panpf.sketch4:sketch-video-ffmpeg:${LAST_VERSION}")
```

> [!TIP]
> * `sketch-compose`, `sketch-view` Modules all depend on the singleton provided by
    the `sketch-singleton` module. If you don’t need the singleton, you can directly rely on
    their `*-core` version.
> * The `sketch-http` module depends on `sketch-http-hurl` on jvm platforms and `sketch-http-ktor3`
    on non-jvm platforms.

### Register component

Sketch supports automatic discovery and registration of Fetcher and Decoder components, which are
implemented through ServiceLoader on the JVM platform and through the @EagerInitialization
annotation on non-JVM platforms.

All built-in modules support automatic registration. If you want to disable automatic registration,
please refer to the documentation for manual
registration: [《Register component》][register_component]

### R8 / Proguard

1. Android, iOS, Web and other platforms do not need to configure any obfuscation rules
2. The following obfuscation rules are required for desktop platforms:
    ```proguard
    # -------------------------- Sketch Privider ---------------------------- #
    -keep class * implements com.github.panpf.sketch.util.ComponentProvider { *; }
    ```
3. It may also be necessary to add obfuscation configurations to the indirect dependencies of
   three-party libraries such as [Kotlin Coroutines], [OkHttp], [Okio]

## Quickly Started

### Compose Multiplatform:

```kotlin
// val imageUri = "/Users/my/Downloads/image.jpg"
// val imageUri = file:///compose_resource/composeResources/com.github.panpf.sketch.sample.resources/files/sample.png
val imageUri = "https://www.sample.com/image.jpg"

AsyncImage(
    uri = imageUri,
    contentDescription = "photo"
)

AsyncImage(
    uri = imageUri,
    state = rememberAsyncImageState(ComposableImageOptions {
        placeholder(Res.drawable.placeholder)
        error(Res.drawable.error)
        crossfade()
        // There is a lot more...
    }),
    contentDescription = "photo"
)

AsyncImage(
    rqeuest = ComposableImageRequest(imageUri) {
        placeholder(Res.drawable.placeholder)
        error(Res.drawable.error)
        crossfade()
        // There is a lot more...
    },
    contentDescription = "photo"
)

Image(
    painter = rememberAsyncImagePainter(
        request = ComposableImageRequest(imageUri) {
            placeholder(Res.drawable.placeholder)
            error(Res.drawable.error)
            crossfade()
            // There is a lot more...
        }
    ),
    contentDescription = "photo"
)
```

> [!TIP]
> `placeholder(Res.drawable.placeholder)` needs to import the `sketch-compose-resources` module

### Android View:

```kotlin
// val imageUri = "/sdcard/download/image.jpg"
// val imageUri = "file:///android_asset/image.jpg"
// val imageUri = "content://media/external/images/media/88484"
val imageUri = "https://www.sample.com/image.jpg"

imageView.loadImage(imageUri)

imageView.loadImage(imageUri) {
    placeholder(R.drawable.placeholder)
    error(R.drawable.error)
    crossfade()
    // There is a lot more...
}

val request = ImageRequest(context, imageUri) {
    placeholder(R.drawable.placeholder)
    error(R.drawable.error)
    crossfade()
    target(imageView)
    // There is a lot more...
}
context.sketch.enqueue(request)
```

## Run Sample App

Prepare the environment:

1. Android Studio: Norwhal+ (2025.1.1+)
2. JDK: 17+
3. Use [kdoctor] to check the running environment and follow the prompts to install the required
   software
4. Android Studio installs the `Kotlin Multiplatform` plugin

Run the sample app:

1. Clone the project and open it using Android Studio
2. After synchronization is completed, the `Kotlin Multiplatform` plug-in will automatically create
   a running configuration for each platform.
3. Select the corresponding platform's running configuration, and then click Run

## About version 4.0

* The maven groupId is upgraded to `io.github.panpf.sketch4`, so versions 2.\* and 3.\* will not
  prompt for upgrade
* Version 4.0 is specially built for Compose Multiplatform, so there are many breaking changes in
  the API, please upgrade with caution
* Version 4.0 has made a lot of simplifications and is much simpler than version 3.0, please check
  the update log for details
* Android minimum API raised to API 21
* Kotlin version upgraded to 2.0.0

## Special thanks

* [coil-kt/coil][coil]: Sketch uses some code from Coil, including framework, compose and
  sketch-animated movie part
