## Quick Start

- Install the package (and its peer dependencies).
- Import and use <ExpoMediaPreview /> with either an image or a video source.


```javascript
import React from "react";
import { View } from "react-native";
import ExpoMediaPreview from "expo-media-preview";

export default function App() {
  const sampleImage = {
    uri: "https://path-to-your-img-file.jpg", // Replace with your image URL
  };

  const sampleVideo = {
    uri: "https://path-to-your-video-file.mp4", // Replace with your video URL
  };

  return (
    <View style={{ flex: 1, justifyContent: "center", alignItems: "center" }}>
      {/* Usage with an image */}
      <ExpoMediaPreview
        source={sampleImage}
        style={{
          height: 150,
          width: 150,
        }}
      />

      {/* Usage with a video */}
      <ExpoMediaPreview
        source={sampleVideo}
        videoPlaceholderSrc={{
          uri: "https://path-to-your-placeholder-image.jpg",
        }}
        isVideo={true}
        style={{
          height: 150,
          width: 150,
        }}
      />
    </View>
  );
}


```

### Behind the Scenes
- expo-image is used for efficient image loading and caching.
- expo-video powers the video playback.
- Pinch, Zoom, and Drag logic is handled via React Native’s PanResponder.
- expo-blur for background blurring during full-screen mode.

> *   **Video Placeholder (Highly Recommended):** Always include `videoPlaceholderSrc` for videos.  This uses `expo-image` for better quality and caching. Without it, videos render initially muted, paused, and without controls.
**Regarding Videos:**
