React Fluid Text
A simple React component for creating a text that fits its container width.
Briefly
I created this component while working on my website. I needed a text that would fit the its width. I used the magic formula from this jQuery project called fitText from @davatron5000. All the credits for this magic goes to him.
The library exposes both the hook and a component called FluidText
. The hook uses ResizeObserver
behind the scene and its polyfill.
Install
yarn add react-fluid-text
Usage
import FluidText from 'react-fluid-text';
function App() {
return <FluidText text='Resize me!' />;
}
The only required prop is text
. The rest is optional, but depending on the font you might want to tweak the compressor
value for resize more or less aggressively. See below props. You can also pass custom styles
and className
of course.
Props
| Name | Description | PropType | Required | Default Value | | ----------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ------------------ | ------------- | | text | Text to be rendered | PropTypes.string | :heavy_check_mark: | | | as | String representing the HTML element used to render the text. Default is h1 | PropTypes.string | | h1 | | compressor | How aggressive resize the font | PropTypes.number | | 1 | | minFontSize | The minimum font size. Default is 16 | PropTypes.number | | 16 | | maxFontSize | The max font size to resize | PropTypes.number | | 512 |
Using the Hook
You can use only the hook if you want. It takes an object with the 3 values {compressor, minFontSize, maxFontSize}
which are all optional and have the same default values as he FluidText
component. Simplest way is to call it with an empty object.
It returns a React ref: React.RefObject
and fontSize: Number
that you can then use as you want.
import { useFluidFontSize } from 'react-fluid-text';
function App() {
// use default values
const [ref, fontSize] = useFluidFontSize({});
return (
<div style={{ fontSize }} ref={ref}>
The font size is: {fontSize}
</div>
);
}
Example
Example can be found in the example
