How to add alt to <Image> component

[Giggiux]

for SEO optimization the image's alt tag is needed.

It would be optimal to have it on the Image component.

You may use the NativeImgProps prop to pass alt to the underlying <img>.

@arifals27 I haven't used this in 2 years now, but I guess you may just do something like <Image NativeImgProps={{alt:"my alt text"}}>

here is the line that adds that NativeImgProps to the Image props

Example usage:

import React from 'react'
import { Image, Breathing } from 'react-shimmer'

function App() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Image
        src='https://source.unsplash.com/random/800x600'
        fallback={<Breathing width={800} height={600} />}
        NativeImgProps={{ alt: "Descriptive text." }}
      />
    </div>
  )
}
