## What it is
imagesLoaded is a small JavaScript library that detects when images (including background images) inside a container have finished loading. It works as a jQuery plugin or with vanilla JavaScript and reports loaded/broken images via events and callbacks.

## Use cases
- detect when all images in a container have loaded
- run a callback after images finish loading before layout or masonry
- detect broken images on a page
- track image loading progress per image
- detect when CSS background images have loaded
- wait for images to load before showing a gallery

## When to choose
- you need reliable image load detection in the browser
- you use jQuery and want a plugin-style API with Deferred support
- you need to know about broken images as well as successful loads
- you want a tiny, dependency-light utility

## When to avoid
- you need lazy loading or image optimization rather than load detection
- you are working with modern browser APIs and prefer native img.decode() or load events
- you need image processing or manipulation, not loading status

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: maintenance
- function: image-processing, ui-components
- domain: web-development, frontend
- platform: browser
- tags: image-loading, jquery-plugin, dom-events, vanilla-js, nodejs
