FadeInImage in BoxDecoration

Question

I love the FadeInImage

I can do this

child: FadeInImage.assetNetwork(
    image: \'https://placeimg.com/640/480/any\',
    placeholder: \'assets/images/l         


        

Answer 1

It's because FadeInImage it not a type of ImageProvider widget, you need to use AssetImage, NetworkImage... inside DecorationImage.

Outside the DecorationImage, like in a Container's child, you can use it as well.

e.g.

       Container(
          child: FadeInImage.memoryNetwork(
            placeholder: kTransparentImage,
            image: product.thumbnail,
            fit: BoxFit.contain,
          ),
        ),
