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 and even more:
Testing explained in its own section. Art-Direction support built in.

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)
plus being able to work with multiple stacked background images
plus being able to style with Tailwind CSS and suchlike Frameworks

All the glamour (and speed) of gatsby-image for your Background Images!

Of course styleable with styled-components and the like!
