loadingStatusChange
[value: ImageLoadingStatus]

A callback providing information about the loading status of the image.
This is useful in case you want to control more precisely what to render as the image is loading.

Fallback ​

An element that renders when the image hasn't loaded. This means whilst it's loading, or if there was an error. If you notice a flash during loading, you can provide a delayMs prop to delay its rendering so it only renders for those with slower connections. For more control, use the @loadingStatusChange emit on AvatarImage.
