React Native <Image>
component, that rescales itselfs correctly on iOS and Android devices.
##Why?
React Native's Image size is rendered the same regardless of device size and resolution. Desired behaviour in is to have a component, that scales appropriately.
##Installation
npm install react-native-responsive-image --save
##Usage
Use the <ResponsiveImage>
component and set it's initWidth
and initHeight
props.
These values are used as they are for iPhone6 Plus, and they are scaled down on any smaller iOS/Android device.
##Example
Three images in one full-width row:
var React = require('react-native');
var ResponsiveImage = require('react-native-responsive-image');
var {
AppRegistry,
StyleSheet,
View,
} = React;
var App = React.createClass({
render: function() {
return (
<View style={{flex: 1, justifyContent: 'center',}}>
<View style={{flexDirection: 'row',}}>
<ResponsiveImage source={{uri: 'http://facebook.github.io/react/img/logo_og.png'}} initWidth="138" initHeight="138"/>
<ResponsiveImage source={{uri: 'http://facebook.github.io/react/img/logo_og.png'}} initWidth="138" initHeight="138"/>
<ResponsiveImage source={{uri: 'http://facebook.github.io/react/img/logo_og.png'}} initWidth="138" initHeight="138"/>
</View>
</View>
);
}
});
AppRegistry.registerComponent('AwesomeProject', () => App);
##One image size?
We could have added support for multiple image sources, like https://github.com/exponentjs/react-native-responsive-image has. It sounds like you would save some bytes by delivering less-resolution images to devices with lower resolution.
But solution that worked the best for me was different. Actually you need to serve just one high-resolution compressed, and it will even save more bytes. Though @2x or @3x images have more pixels, itβs surprising how much they can be compressed.
