react-magnifying-glass

React Magnifier is a versatile react component which allows the user to create a zoom pane for an image that they input.

The user needs to specify the image url and size of the original image as well as the zoom level of the zoom pane.

This will then create a box underneath the original image which will show the zoomed portion of the image as the mouse is hovered over it.
