react-visual-grid works with the absolute minimum of properties to determine the optimal method to render images. Specify the desired picture sizes and the layout, the component will automatically determine the optimum approach to rendering the images.

Comes with two different layouts (horizontal and vertical) for rendering images. The in-built virtualization ensures that the component renders only the images that are visible on the screen. This ensures that the component is able to render thousands of images without any performance issues.

Resize the grid or go full screen, and the component will automatically adjust the ideal number of images to be displayed in the new grid size.

In addition to the traditional grid, the library also comes with a masonry layout. The masonry layout is used to display images in a grid with varying heights/widths.

You can install react-visual-grid using npm or yarn.

  npm install react-visual-grid

or

  yarn add react-visual-grid

Grids can be generated in two modes: Horizontal and Vertical. The default mode is vertical

import { Grid } from "react-visual-grid";

// generate random images using lorem picsum service
const images = Array.from({ length: 50 }, (_, i) => ({
  src: `https://picsum.photos/id/${Math.round(Math.random() * 110)}/800/600`,
  alt: `Image ${i + 1}`,
}));

const App = () => {
  return <Grid images={images} width={1800} height={1200} />;
};

The dimensions of the grid can be also specified as percentages.

import { Grid } from "react-visual-grid";

const App = () => {
  return <Grid images={images} width="90%" height="80%" />;
};

import { Grid } from "react-visual-grid";

const App = () => {
  return (
    <Grid images={images} gridLayout="horizontal" width={1800} height={1200} />
  );
};

Horizontal Grid rendering 1k+ images

import { Grid } from "react-visual-grid";

const App = () => {
  return (
    <Grid images={images} gridLayout="vertical" width={1800} height={1200} />
  );
};

Vertical Grid rendering 1k+ images

react-visual-grid currently supports 3 zoom levels and the default level is 2x. The zoom levels can be configured using the imageSizes prop.

The component comes with a default configuration for the image sizes.

export const defaultImageSizes = {
  "1X": {
    width: 120,
    height: 100,
  },
  "2X": {
    width: 200,
    height: 180,
  },
  "3X": {
    width: 320,
    height: 280,
  },
};

you should be able to easily customize the desired dimensions for each zoom level.

Customize the colors of the component with the theme prop.

Here is the list of all the colors that can be customized:

<Grid
  gridLayout="vertical"
  theme={{
    backgroundColor: "#000",
    controlBgColor: "#303030",
    controlBtnColor: "#595959",
    controlsBackDropColor: "rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.95)",
    thumbnailBgColor: "#202020",
  }}
/>

Custom Theme

The masonry layout is an excellent option for showcasing images of varying sizes. With the Masonry component, you have the flexibility to arrange images either horizontally or vertically, and you can also define the dimensions of each image.

To set the height and width of each image, you'll use specific class names. For the width, use the format rc-w-[width], where [width] is replaced with the desired pixel value. Similarly, for the height, use rc-h-[height], replacing [height] with the corresponding value.

The layout adapts to the parent container's dimensions, ensuring that images are neatly wrapped to the next row or column based on the chosen fill mode. If you opt for vertical fill mode, the images will be organized into columns. Conversely, in horizontal fill mode, they will be arranged in rows.

const App = () => {
  const dimensions = [
    [400, 300],
    [950, 300],
    [450, 300],
    [700, 400],
    [500, 400],
    [600, 400],
    [1800, 250],
    [200, 350],
    [400, 350],
    [900, 350],
    [300, 350],
    [700, 200],
    [1100, 200],
  ];

  return (
    <Masonry
      animationDelay={500}
      fillMode="HORIZONTAL"
      gutter={0}
      height={1200}
      width={1800}
    >
      {dimensions.map(([w, h], index) => (
        <span className={`rc-w-${w} rc-h-${h}`} key={index}>
          <img
            alt="Image 1"
            src={`https://source.unsplash.com/random/${w}x${h}?space`}
          />
        </span>
      ))}
    </Masonry>
  );
};
