gatsby-background-image(-es5)
Speedy, optimized background-images without the work!
gatsby-background-image & gatsby-background-image-es5 are React components
which for background-images provide,
what Gatsby's own gatsby-image does for the rest of your images.
It started by pilfering their excellent work and adapting it - but slowly it's
outgrowing those wee beginnings.
It has all the advantages of gatsby-image,
including the "blur-up" technique or
a "traced placeholder"
SVG to show a preview of the image while it loads,
plus being usable as a container (no more hacks with extra wrappers).
All the glamour (and speed) of gatsby-image now for your Background Images!
And it's even styleable with styled-components and the like!
