Overview
A utility package for mocking Image.network responses in Flutter widget tests. It allows developers to simulate network image loading without making actual HTTP requests, ensuring consistent and reliable test results. Ideal for testing UI components that display images from remote sources, it provides a simple way to return placeholder images or predefined assets during testing. The package is lightweight and integrates seamlessly with Flutter's testing framework.
