@mapbox/appropriate-images-react

Use in combination with appropriate-images.

After you've generated resized, optimized images with appropriate-images, you'll want to use them in the browser. If you like React, you'll want to use them with React. You'll need to determine which variant of the image to load — that is, which size, and whether to load the .webp version or not. This module does that.

Here are the steps it takes.

• Measures the element's available width with react-simple-surveyor;
• Combines that width with your appropriate-images configuration to get a URL, using appropriate-images-get-url;
• Then renders the appropriate variant of the image.

(If you aren't using React but want to use your appropriate-images in the browser, check out appropriate-images-get-url).

API

scopeAppropriateImage

scopeAppropriateImage(imageConfig, [options])

A named import for ES2015 modules, or a property on the CommonJS module.

import { scopeAppropriateImage } from '@mapbox/appropriate-images-react';
// OR
const scopeAppropriateImage = require('@mapbox/appropriate-images-react').scopeAppropriateImage;

Returns an AppropriateImage component scoped according to your appropriate-images configuration and options.

imageConfig

Type Object. Required.

Your appropriate-images configuration. Use the same configuration at run time, in the browser, as you do at build time, when generating the resized, optimized images.

options

transformUrl

Type: (originalUrl: string) => string. Default: x => x.

If you want to transform the URL in some way, use this function. One use-case is to take advantage of Webpack's augmented require() to get the URL that Webpack creates — if, for example, you're adding a hash to the end of files loaded with Webpack's file-loader.

For example:

import { scopeAppropriateImage } from '@mapbox/appropriate-images-react';
const AppropriateImage = scopeAppropriateImage(myImageConfig, {
  transformUrl: url => require(`/my/image/directory/${url}`)
});

hiResRatio

Type: number. Default: 1.3.

See the same option for appropriate-images-get-url.

AppropriateImage

This is the component that is returned by scopeAppropriateImage. It can render your image in two ways:

• As an <img>. Usually you'll do this.
• As the background image of an absolutely positioned <div>. This can be handy in situations when you want to take advantage of powerful CSS background properties like background-size and background-position.

props

All props you pass other than those documented below are applied directly to the rendered element (e.g. alt, id, data-*, aria-*).

imageId

Type string. Required.

The id of the image to render. Must correspond with a key in the appropriate-images configuration.

background

Type boolean. Default: false.

By default, an <img> element is rendered. If this option is true, you instead get a <div>, absolutely positioned to fill its container, whose background-image will be the appropriate image.

backgroundPosition

Type string. Default: 'center center'.

Only meaningful if background={true}. Any background-position value will do.

backgroundSize

Type string. Default: 'cover'.

Only meaningful if background={true}. Any background-size value will do.

Example

const React = require('react');
const { scopeAppropriateImage } = require('@mapbox/appropriate-images-react');
const imageConfig = require('./path/to/my/image-config.js');

const AppropriateImage = scopeAppropriateImage(imageConfig);

class MyPage extends React.PureComponent {
  render() {
    return (
      <div>
        <p>An appropriate image will be loaded below:</p>
        <AppropriateImage imageId="bear" style={{ maxWidth: '100%' }}/>
      </div>
    );
  }
}
