Overview

React Measure is a powerful library designed to help developers compute measurements of React components effectively. Utilizing the ResizeObserver API, it detects changes in an element’s dimensions, providing users with the tools they need to manage layout and rendering in a responsive manner. This library also includes a polyfill for unsupported browsers, ensuring that developers can rely on its capabilities across multiple environments.

What sets React Measure apart is its versatility and ease of use. It allows developers to wrap any child component with its Measure component, calculating its client rectangle, offset, and other dimensions seamlessly. By integrating it into your project, you can ensure your components respond dynamically to size changes, making your application more robust and user-friendly.

Features

• Resize Detection: The library uses ResizeObserver to monitor and respond to changes in an element’s dimensions, making it ideal for responsive designs.
• Polyfill Support: Includes a polyfill for ResizeObserver, ensuring functionality even in unsupported browsers, enhancing compatibility.
• Flexible Props: Supports various props like client, offset, scroll, bounds, and margin to calculate and return different sets of measurements.
• Callback Functionality: The onResize callback is triggered whenever the width or height of the element changes, allowing for real-time updates to your UI.
• Higher-Order Component: The withContentRect HOC provides dimensions to wrapped components, making it easy to integrate measurements without extra configuration.
• Programmatic Measurement: A measure function is available to programmatically check component dimensions when needed, providing developers with full control.
• Easy Integration: Simply wrap your component with the Measure component to start measuring, making it straightforward to implement in existing codebases.
• Component Reference Handling: Uses measureRef to access the internal component reference, ensuring accurate measurements for various use cases.
