MUI or Material-UI is a UI library providing predefined robust and customizable components for React for easier web development. The MUI design is based on top of Material Design by Google.
In this article, we will discuss the React MUI ImageList API. The ImageList displays a collection of images in a structured grid format. The API provides a lot of functionality and we will learn to implement them.
Import ImageList API
import ImageList from '@mui/material/ImageList';
// or
import { ImageList } from '@mui/material';
Props List: Here is the list of different props used with this component. We can access them and modify them according to our needs.
- children (node): It is the content of the component which are ImageListItem elements.
- classes (Object): Override the existing styles or add new styles to the component.
- cols(integer): It is used to set the number of columns. The default value is 2.
- component(elementType): This is used for the root node.
- gap(integer): It is used to set the gap between items. The default value is 4.
- rowHeight(auto/number): It is used to set the height. The default value is auto.
- sx (Array<func / object/bool> / func / object): The system prop allows defining system overrides as well as additional CSS styles.
- variant(masonry/quilted/standard/woven): It is used to set the variant. The default value is standard.
CSS Rules:
- root(.MuiImageList-root): It is the style applied to the root element.
- standard(.MuiImageList-standard): It is the style applied to the root element if a variant is set to standard.
- woven(.MuiImageList-woven): It is the style applied to the root element if a variant is set to woven.
- masonry(.MuiImageList-masonry): It is the style applied to the root element if a variant is set to masonry.
- quilted(.MuiImageList-quilted): It is the style applied to the root element if a variant is set to quilt.
Syntax: Create an ImageList as follows:
<ImageList sx={{ width: 500, height: 250, margin: "auto" }}
cols={4} variant="quilted">
<ImageListItem cols={1} rows={1}>
<img
src="#" loading="lazy"/>
</ImageListItem>
</ImageList>
Installing and Creating React app and adding the MUI dependencies:
Step 1: Create a react project using the following command.
npx create-react-app gfg_tutorial
Step 2: Get into the project directory
cd gfg_tutorial
Step 3: Install the MUI dependencies as follows:
npm install @mui/material @emotion/react @emotion/styled @mui/lab @mui/icons-material
Project Structure: The project structure should look like the below:
Step 4: Run the project as follows:
npm start
Example 1: In the following example, we have a standard variant ImageList component
App.js
import "./App.css"; import * as React from "react"; import ImageList from "@mui/material/ImageList"; import ImageListItem from "@mui/material/ImageListItem"; function srcset(image, size, rows = 1, cols = 1) { return { src: `${image}?w=${size * cols} &h=${size * rows}&fit=crop&auto=format`, srcSet: `${image}?w=${size * cols}&h=${size * rows }&fit=crop&auto=format&dpr=2 2x`, }; } function App() { return ( <div className="App"> <div className="head" style={{ width: "fit-content", margin: "auto", }} > <h1 style={{ color: "green", }} > neveropen </h1> <strong>React MUI ImageList API</strong> </div> <br /> <ImageList sx={{ width: 500, height: 250, margin: "auto" }} cols={4} variant="quilted" rowHeight={121} > <ImageListItem cols={1} rows={1}> <img {...srcset( 121, 1, 1 )} loading="lazy" /> </ImageListItem> <ImageListItem cols={1} rows={1}> <img {...srcset( 121, 1, 1 )} loading="lazy" /> </ImageListItem> <ImageListItem cols={1} rows={1}> <img {...srcset( 121, 1, 1 )} loading="lazy" /> </ImageListItem> <ImageListItem cols={1} rows={1}> <img {...srcset( 121, 1, 1 )} loading="lazy" /> </ImageListItem> <ImageListItem cols={1} rows={1}> <img {...srcset( 121, 1, 1 )} loading="lazy" /> </ImageListItem> </ImageList> </div> ); } export default App; |
Output
Example 2: In the following example, we have a woven variant of ImageList.
App.js
import "./App.css"; import * as React from "react"; import ImageList from "@mui/material/ImageList"; import ImageListItem from "@mui/material/ImageListItem"; function srcset(image, size, rows = 1, cols = 1) { return { src: `${image}?w=${size * cols} &h=${size * rows}&fit=crop&auto=format`, srcSet: `${image}?w=${size * cols}&h=${size * rows }&fit=crop&auto=format&dpr=2 2x`, }; } function App() { return ( <div className="App"> <div className="head" style={{ width: "fit-content", margin: "auto", }} > <h1 style={{ color: "green", }} > neveropen </h1> <strong>React MUI ImageList API</strong> </div> <br /> <ImageList sx={{ width: 500, height: 450, margin: "auto" }} variant="woven" cols={3} gap={8} > <ImageListItem cols={1} rows={1}> <img {...srcset( 121, 1, 1 )} loading="lazy" /> </ImageListItem> <ImageListItem cols={1} rows={1}> <img {...srcset( 121, 1, 1 )} loading="lazy" /> </ImageListItem> <ImageListItem cols={1} rows={1}> <img {...srcset( 121, 1, 1 )} loading="lazy" /> </ImageListItem> <ImageListItem cols={1} rows={1}> <img {...srcset( 121, 1, 1 )} loading="lazy" /> </ImageListItem> <ImageListItem cols={1} rows={1}> <img {...srcset( 121, 1, 1 )} loading="lazy" /> </ImageListItem> <ImageListItem cols={1} rows={1}> <img {...srcset( 121, 1, 1 )} loading="lazy" /> </ImageListItem> </ImageList> </div> ); } export default App; |
