(Don't include 184 | the brackets!) The text should be enclosed in the appropriate 185 | comment syntax for the file format. We also recommend that a 186 | file or class name and description of purpose be included on the 187 | same "printed page" as the copyright notice for easier 188 | identification within third-party archives. 189 | 190 | Copyright 2017 Google Inc 191 | 192 | Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); 193 | you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. 194 | You may obtain a copy of the License at 195 | 196 | http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 197 | 198 | Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software 199 | distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, 200 | WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. 201 | See the License for the specific language governing permissions and 202 | limitations under the License. 203 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /README.md: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | # CSS Aspect Ratio 2 | 3 | This package provides a simple implementation of fixed aspect ratio in pure CSS. 4 | It requires support for [CSS Custom Properties](https://www.w3.org/TR/css-variables-1/). 5 | 6 | Modular implementation approach adapted from 7 | https://sgom.es/posts/2017-02-17-css-custom-properties-as-your-api/ 8 | 9 | CSS-only aspect ratio trick adapted from 10 | https://alistapart.com/article/creating-intrinsic-ratios-for-video 11 | 12 | 13 | ## Rationale / background 14 | 15 | A common problem is how to avoid content shifting down as images load. This is usually solved by 16 | adding the height and width of an image in HTML, so that the browser can allocate enough space 17 | for the content ahead of time. 18 | 19 | ```html 20 | A cute kitten 21 | ``` 22 | 23 | However, if you want to adjust the dimensions for the image in CSS (say, by applying a `max-width` 24 | to the image), you lose the ability to maintain the aspect ratio. Instead, the width and height 25 | get applied separately, and the image gets deformed. 26 | 27 | This package allows you to specify the width and have the height calculated automatically, 28 | ensuring that the aspect ratio is maintained even if the image is resized. 29 | 30 | It's also generic enough to be applied to any block, not just images. 31 | 32 | 33 | ## Install 34 | 35 | ```sh 36 | npm i --save-dev css-aspect-ratio 37 | ``` 38 | 39 | 40 | ## Import 41 | 42 | ### Sass 43 | 44 | In Sass, first make sure `node_modules` is in your `includePaths`. Then: 45 | 46 | ```scss 47 | @import "css-aspect-ratio/css-aspect-ratio"; 48 | ``` 49 | 50 | ### Less 51 | 52 | In Less, install `less-plugin-npm-import` and do: 53 | 54 | ```less 55 | @import (inline) "npm://css-aspect-ratio/css-aspect-ratio.css"; 56 | ``` 57 | 58 | ### Plain CSS 59 | 60 | In plain CSS, make sure you use a bundler or build tool to copy dependencies. To import: 61 | 62 | `@import /path/to/css-aspect-ratio.css;` 63 | 64 | You can also use unpkg as a CDN: 65 | 66 | ```css 67 | @import https://unpkg.com/css-aspect-ratio@1/css-aspect-ratio.css; 68 | ``` 69 | 70 | 71 | ## Usage 72 | 73 | In HTML: 74 | 75 | ```html 76 |
78 | 79 | A cute kitten 80 |
81 | ``` 82 | 83 | `aspect-ratio` takes two custom properties: 84 | - `--aspect-ratio-w` defines the width portion of the aspect ratio, e.g. 16 in 16:9. 85 | - `--aspect-ratio-h` defines the height portion of the aspect ratio, e.g. 9 in 16:9. 86 | 87 | 88 | ## Progressive enhancement 89 | 90 | CSS Aspect Ratio works as progressive enhancement, leaving the resizing entirely to the browser 91 | if custom properties are not supported. This means that for things like images, aspect ratio will 92 | be preserved, but vertical space will not be allocated ahead of time, resulting in content 93 | shifting down during load. 94 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /css-aspect-ratio.css: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | /* Copyright 2017 Google Inc. 2 | 3 | Licensed under the Apache License, Version 2.0 (the "License"); 4 | you may not use this file except in compliance with the License. 5 | You may obtain a copy of the License at 6 | 7 | https://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0 8 | 9 | Unless required by applicable law or agreed to in writing, software 10 | distributed under the License is distributed on an "AS IS" BASIS, 11 | WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, either express or implied. 12 | See the License for the specific language governing permissions and 13 | limitations under the License. 14 | 15 | Credit to Thierry Koblentz for the padding trick. 16 | http://www.alistapart.com/articles/creating-intrinsic-ratios-for-video/ 17 | */ 18 | 19 | .aspect-ratio { 20 | /* aspect-ratio custom properties */ 21 | /* The width portion of the aspect ratio, e.g. 16 in 16:9. */ 22 | --aspect-ratio-w: 1; 23 | /* The height portion of the aspect ratio, e.g. 9 in 16:9. */ 24 | --aspect-ratio-h: 1; 25 | 26 | position: relative; 27 | } 28 | 29 | .aspect-ratio > *:first-child { 30 | width: 100%; 31 | } 32 | 33 | @supports (--custom-props: "true") { 34 | .aspect-ratio::before { 35 | display: block; 36 | padding-top: calc(var(--aspect-ratio-h, 1) / 37 | var(--aspect-ratio-w, 1) * 100%); 38 | content: ""; 39 | } 40 | 41 | .aspect-ratio > *:first-child { 42 | position: absolute; 43 | top: 0; 44 | right: 0; 45 | bottom: 0; 46 | left: 0; 47 | height: 100%; 48 | width: 100%; 49 | } 50 | } 51 | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- /package.json: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 | { 2 | "name": "css-aspect-ratio", 3 | "version": "1.0.5", 4 | "description": "Simple implementation of fixed aspect ratio in pure CSS", 5 | "style": "css-aspect-ratio.css", 6 | "keywords": ["css", "aspect ratio"], 7 | "author": "sgomes", 8 | "repository": { 9 | "type": "git", 10 | "url": "https://github.com/sgomes/css-aspect-ratio.git" 11 | }, 12 | "license": "Apache-2.0" 13 | } 14 | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
