It aims to prevent layout shifts, particularly in cases where components are being downloaded and rendered by the browser. The concept of preventing Cumulative Layout Shift (CLS) is discussed in the article linked: Cumulative Layout Shift. It explains the importance of avoiding layout shifts to improve user experience. You can see a live demonstration of the React aspect ratio placeholder implementation at this link: Demo. The implementation was inspired by Thierry Koblentz, a recognized expert in web development and design. The original idea for this implementation came from Sérgio Gomes. For more in-depth information on aspect ratio boxes and related techniques, you can refer to the detailed post by Chris Coyier, a prominent figure in the web development community. The post can be found here: Post. Chris Coyier's Twitter profile is also linked for further reference: Chris Coyier. Why The most common use case for image loading is when you include an image tag without specifying its dimensions. In such cases, the browser will assume a square size for the image before it is fully loaded, which can result in a layout shift or reflow once the image is loaded. To prevent layout shifts, it is recommended to define the dimensions of the image explicitly. However, it's important to note that if you hardcode fixed dimensions, it may not adapt well to responsive des","default_branch":null,"files":null,"tree":[],"storefront":"/r/roderickhsiao","claimed":false,"request_supported":{"post":"https://gitbuyer.com/r/roderickhsiao/react-aspect-ratio/request-supported","requests":0},"note":"indexed from public GitHub; nothing is for sale on this page.
