CloudinaryImage
A Web Component for Lazy Loading a Cloudinary Image
The CloudinaryImage component uses progressive image loading, e.g., display a low-resolution image initially and then replace it with a high-resolution image once it becomes visible in the viewport. To achieve this, the component uses the Intersection Observer API to detect when it is in the viewport. The component will also ensure that the image maintains its aspect ratio and is styled with the appropriate CSS to prevent layout shifts.

Styling
The component exposes the following CSS Custom Properties for styling:
