Quickstart

npm install --save react-medium-image-zoom

import React from 'react'
import Zoom from 'react-medium-image-zoom'
import 'react-medium-image-zoom/dist/styles.css'

export const MyImg = () => (
  <Zoom>
    <img
      alt="That Wanaka Tree, New Zealand by Laura Smetsers"
      src="/path/to/thatwanakatree.jpg"
      width="500"
    />
  </Zoom>
)

This library's compilation target is ES2022, but it only uses features from ES2020 and below. If you find you need to support older browsers, add react-medium-image-zoom to your build system.

API

You can pass these options to either the Uncontrolled (default) or Controlled components.

export interface UncontrolledProps {
  // Accessible label text for when you want to unzoom
  // Default: 'Minimize image'
  a11yNameButtonUnzoom?: string

  // Accessible label text for when you want to zoom
  // Default: 'Expand image'
  a11yNameButtonZoom?: string

  // Your image
  children: ReactNode

  // Provide your own unzoom button icon
  // Default: ICompress
  IconUnzoom?: ElementType

  // Provide your own zoom button icon
  // Default: IEnlarge
  IconZoom?: ElementType

  // Scrollable parent element
  // Default: window
  scrollableEl?: Window | HTMLElement

  // Higher quality image attributes to use on zoom
  zoomImg?: ImgHTMLAttributes<HTMLImageElement>

  // Offset in pixels the zoomed image should
  // be from the window's boundaries
  zoomMargin?: number
}

You can pass these options to only the Controlled component.

export interface ControlledProps {
  // ...same as UncontrolledProps

  // Tell the component whether or not it should be zoomed
  // Default: false
  isZoomed: boolean

  // Listen for hints from the component about when you
  // should zoom (`true` value) or unzoom (`false` value)
  onZoomChange?: (value: boolean) => void
}

Basic Usage

Uncontrolled component (default)

Import the component and the CSS, wrap your image with the component, and the component will handle it's own state.

import React from 'react'
import Zoom from 'react-medium-image-zoom'
import 'react-medium-image-zoom/dist/styles.css'

// <img />
export const MyImg = () => (
  <Zoom>
    <img
      alt="That Wanaka Tree, New Zealand by Laura Smetsers"
      src="/path/to/thatwanakatree.jpg"
      width="500"
    />
  </Zoom>
)

// <div>
export const MyDiv = () => (
  <Zoom>
    <div
      aria-label="That Wanaka Tree, New Zealand by Laura Smetsers"
      role="img"
      style={{
        backgroundColor: '#fff',
        backgroundImage: `url("/path/to/thatwanakatree.jpg")`,
        backgroundPosition: '50%',
        backgroundRepeat: 'no-repeat',
        backgroundSize: 'cover',
        height: '0',
        paddingBottom: '56%',
        width: '100%',
      }}
    />
  </Zoom>
)

// <picture>
export const MyPicture = () => (
  <Zoom>
    <picture>
      <source media="(max-width: 800px)" srcSet="/path/to/teAraiPoint.jpg" />
      <img
        alt="A beautiful, serene setting in nature"
        src="/path/to/thatwanakatree.jpg"
        width="500"
      />
    </picture>
  </Zoom>
)

// <figure>
export const MyFigure = () => (
  <figure>
    <Zoom>
      <img
        alt="That Wanaka Tree, New Zealand by Laura Smetsers"
        src="/path/to/thatwanakatree.jpg"
        width="500"
      />
    </Zoom>
    <figcaption>Photo by Laura Smetsers</figcaption>
  </figure>
)

Controlled component

Import the Controlled component and the CSS, wrap your image with the component, and then dictate the isZoomed state to the component.

import React, { useCallback, useState } from 'react'
import { Controlled as ControlledZoom } from 'react-medium-image-zoom'
import 'react-medium-image-zoom/dist/styles.css'

const MyComponent = () => {
  const [isZoomed, setIsZoomed] = useState(false)

  const handleZoomChange = useCallback(shouldZoom => {
    setIsZoomed(shouldZoom)
  }, [])

  return (
    <ControlledZoom isZoomed={isZoomed} onZoomChange={handleZoomChange}>
      <img
        alt="That wanaka tree, alone in the water near mountains"
        src="/path/to/thatwanakatree.jpg"
        width="500"
      />
    </ControlledZoom>
  )
)

export default MyComponent

The onZoomChange prop accepts a callback that will receive true or false based on events that occur (like click or scroll events) to assist you in determining when to zoom and unzoom the component.

Styles

You can import the default styles from react-medium-image-zoom/dist/styles.css and override the values from your code, or you can copy the styles.css file and alter it to your liking. The latter is the best option, given rems should be used instead of px to account for different default browser font sizes, but it's hard to guess at what these values should be.
