How to precache an image

[abdimussa87]

Feature request for Cloudinary Flutter SDK

Precache a cloudinary image

Explain your use case

I wanted to be able to precache an image so that when the CldImageWidget is built, it'll already have the image loaded as it has been precached

Describe the problem you’re trying to solve

Have an image precached so that it'll be loaded before the CldImageWidget is built, leading to a more responsive feeling

Do you have a proposed solution?

I was thinking of using something like this (note precacheImage is flutter's builtin method, yet it requires an ImageProvider as it's argument):
precacheImage(NetworkImage(publicId), context);
Instead of NetworkImage, use a cloudinary image provider.
