React component for displaying an lh3.googleusercontent image efficiently

Installation

Usage

import { imageFormats } from 'lh3-googleusercontent-url-builder';
import GooglePicture from 'react-google-picture';

<GooglePicture
  alt="Image alt text"
  imageFormat={imageFormats.JPEG}
  lazy
  widths={{defaultWidth: 600, 600: 480, 1200: 960}} // Default width, then width (in pixels) for different screen widths

Why

This utility allows you to easily craft a picture element to display the most appropriate image for a device. It will serve an image at the width you specify unless the device has a high definition screen, in which case it will serve an image twice that size in order to make full use of the high definition screen. If the device supports WebP, a WebP image will be served. Otherwise an image in the format specified will be served.
Older browsers that do no support the picture element will display a standard definition jpeg.
