Speedy, optimizedbackground-images without the work!

gatsby-background-image &gatsby-background-image-es5 are React componentswhich for background-images provide, what Gatsby's owngatsby-image does forthe rest of your images and even more:
Testing explained in its own section.Art-Direction support built in.

It has all the advantages ofgatsby-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 withmultiple stacked background images
plus being able to style withTailwind CSS and suchlike Frameworks

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

Of course styleable withstyled-components and the like!
