React Grid Gallery

Justified image gallery component for React inspired by Google Photos and based upon React Images.

Note:

As of the release of v0.5.4 (2019-03-10) I will no longer be actively adding features and aggressively maintaining react-grid-gallery. My online behavioral experiment platform Psychstudio consumes all of my time and I am no longer capable of giving react-grid-gallery the attention it needs. A big thanks to everyone who has contributed over the last 4 years and thanks to everyone who has downloaded react-grid-gallery (hopefully it has been useful to you).

thumbnailWidth	number	undefined	Required. Width of the thumbnail image.
thumbnailHeight	number	undefined	Required. Height of the thumbnail image.

id	string	"ReactGridGallery"	Optional. id attribute for <Gallery> tag. This prop may be useful for those who wish to discriminate between multiple galleries.
enableImageSelection	bool	true	Optional. Allow images to be selectable. Setting this option to false whilst supplying images with isSelected: true will result in those images being permanently selected.
onSelectImage	func	undefined	Optional. Function to execute when an image is selected. Allows access to image object using this (See Programmers notes for more info about implicit this). Optional args: index (index of selected image in images array), image (the selected image). This function is only executable when enableImageSelection: true.
rowHeight	number	180	Optional. The height of each row in the gallery.

General Notes

• react-grid-gallery is built for modern browsers and therefore IE support is limited to IE 11 and newer.

• As the inspiration for this component comes from Google Photos, very small thumbnails may not be the most aesthetically pleasing due to the border size applied when selected. A sensible rowHeight default of 180px has been chosen, but rowHeights down to 100px are still reasonable.

• Gallery width is determined by the containing element. Therefore your containing element must have a width (%, em, px, whatever) before the gallery is loaded!

• Image Options: thumbnail can point to the same resource as src, bearing in mind the resultant data size of the gallery and page load cost. Thumbnails of whatever size will be scaled to match rowHeight.

Programmers Notes

• User defined functions that allow access to this via Function.prototype.call() do not require you to declare or pass this as a parameter. this will be defined at the time the function is called.

e.g.

// somewhere in your code...
function myTileViewportStyleFn() {
  if (this.props.item.isSelected)
    return {
           // something stylish...
            };
}

<Gallery images={IMAGES} tileViewportStyle={myTileViewportStyleFn}/>


// internally, within the react-grid-gallery component it will be called like so:
myTileViewportStyleFn.call(this); // this now refers to the image to be styled

• If you don't know your thumbnailWidth and thumbnailHeight values, you can find these out using any number of javascript hacks, bearing in mind the load penalty associated with these methods.
