React Native Image component which scales width or height automatically to keep the original aspect ratio

React Native Scalable Image

React Native <Image/> component does not keep the image aspect ratio, which results in the image being stretched or cropped. react-native-scalable-image solves this problem by calculating the image size and resizing the image when rendering.

This library provides an <Image/> component which scales width or height automatically to keep the aspect ratio. It is useful when you don't know the aspect ratio in advance (e.g. user-uploaded content) but want to display the entire image and limit it only by width or height to fit the container component.

The following example creates an image which fits the full screen width and keeps the aspect ratio:

import React from 'react';
import { Dimensions } from 'react-native';
import Image from 'react-native-scalable-image';

const image = (
   <Image
       width={Dimensions.get('window').width} // height will be calculated automatically
       source={{uri: '<image uri>'}}
   />
);

Install

npm install react-native-scalable-image --save

Usage

Specify width or height which may be calculated dynamically like in the example above. All other props are the same as in regular React Native <Image/> component.

props

name	type	default	description
height	number	none	Maximum image height
width	number	none	Maximum image width
background	boolean	false	Set to true when used as a background
component	React.ReactNode	none	Custom image component
onPress	function	none	onPress callback
onSize	function	none	Is called with { width, height } as the first arg once image size is calculated
