React Giphy Searchbox is a powerful react component that returns Giphy's GIF or Stickers in a Masonry grid layout. Initially the component displays trending GIFs from Giphy's feed, when the the user starts typing something in the search field it switches to searched results. When an image is selected, a GIF object is returned.

Please note: Axios has been dropped in favor of the native window.fetch() method from version 1.3.0. Please keep in mind that if you need to support old browsers you have to add a global polyfill like github/fetch or developit/unfetch.

Responsive options

masonryConfig prop allow you to define responsiveness of the component. This prop accept an array of objects describing the masonry's properties at different breakpoints.

Each object in the array has the following properties:

| Prop | Type | Description | | ------------ | ------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------- | | mq | string | The minimum viewport width | | columns | number | The number of vertical columns | | imageWidth | number | The width (in px) of the image, and consequentially of the column | | gutter | number | The space (in px) between the columns |

[
  { columns: 2, imageWidth: 140, gutter: 10 },
  { mq: '700px', columns: 3, imageWidth: 200, gutter: 10 },
  { mq: '1000px', columns: 4, imageWidth: 220, gutter: 10 },
]

When defining your properties, note the following:

• properties must be listed smallest to largest breakpoints in a mobile first approach;
• The size without the mq property is assumed to be your smallest breakpoint, and must appear first.
