what

react-rpg is a lightweight, stateless responsive photo grid component for reactjs. Quickly create instagram-esque responsive photo grids with no CSS dependencies.

DEMO

react-rpg

The component renders an array of images in square aspect-ratio for the modern, fluid web. The react-rpg component takes 100% width of the parent container using dynamic inline styles.

Column count can be specified at 3 different breakpoints.

how

To use in a react project, first, install via npm:

npm i react-rpg --save

Then require wherever you desire and pass it an array of image objects as props. See ./demo for a more thorough example.

...
import { ReactRpg } from 'react-rpg';

const images = [
  {
    url: "absolute url to the src of the image",
    clickHandler: (url, obj) => { console.log(url) }
  },
  {
    url: "http://images.com/myimage.jpg",
    clickHandler: (url, obj) => { console.log(obj) }
  }
];


class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div className="myApp">
        <ReactRpg imagesArray={images} columns={[ 1, 2, 5 ]} padding={10} />
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Props

  • imagesArray (array, default [], required YES) - An Array of objects containing an url property of the absolute url of the photos for the img's src attribute. Can also pass an optional clickHandler callback function property.
  • columns (array, default [1, 2, 3], required NO) - Sets the number of columns for the photo grid. First array element is the column count on screens under 480px wide. Second element is the desired column count at device widths above 480px and below 992px. Third array element is desired column count on devices with screen width 992px+.
  • padding (number, default 0, required NO) - Sets the padding value in px around the images.

Scaffolded with Formidable Labs' component boilerplate, thanks!

changelog

v1.0

  • link prop is depreciated.
  • Instead, pass a callback function to the clickHandler property in the imagesArray prop. This function receives the URL and React's synthetic event object for your disposal.

v2.0

  • Pass an array of size 3 to the columns prop instead of just a single integer to specify column count at 3 breakpoints so that column count is a function of device width for varying screen sizes.
