How to keep components auto resizable while creating templates in React JS? - html

Question

So I am trying to put a background image and then center the text to it, but when I change the screen size the text misaligns and moves to the top.
Here's my code:
import React from "react";
import UniversalValues from "../constants.js";
export default function Body() {
return (
<div>
<div className="Container">
<img
className="ResizeImage"
src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1533139143976-30918502365b?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&q=80&fm=jpg&crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&w=1080&fit=max"
alt="Background not loading! X_X"
/>
<div className="TextField">
<h1 className="BGH1">WE DO IT TOGETHER</h1>
<h1 className="BGH1">SO LET'S CREATE</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
);
}
Here is my css file:
.App {
font-family: sans-serif;
text-align: center;
}
.BGH1 {
letter-spacing: 0.06em;
font-family: "Cinzel", serif;
font-size: 5rem;
position: relative;
}
.BrandPoint {
font-size: 3rem;
font-family: "Cinzel", serif;
padding-left: 3rem;
}
.Container {
position: relative;
}
.dropbtn {
background: transparent;
color: white;
padding-bottom: 10px;
font-size: 1.2rem;
font-weight: bold;
border: none;
}
.dropdown {
position: relative;
display: inline-block;
}
.dropdown-content {
display: none;
position: absolute;
background-color: #33393f;
min-width: 160px;
box-shadow: 0px 8px 16px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
z-index: 1;
}
/* Links inside the dropdown */
.dropdown-content a {
color: white;
padding: 12px 16px;
text-decoration: none;
display: block;
}
/* Change color of dropdown links on hover */
.dropdown-content a:hover {
transition: transform 0.5s ease;
transform: scale(0.9);
color: #3eccb5;
border: 1px solid;
border-radius: 0.2rem;
border-color: #e0dede;
}
/* Show the dropdown menu on hover */
.dropdown:hover .dropdown-content {
display: block;
}
.dropdown:hover .dropbtn {
transition: transform 0.5s ease;
transform: scale(0.9);
color: #3eccb5;
border: 1px solid;
border-radius: 0.2rem;
border-color: #e0dede;
}
.HeaderElem {
color: white;
padding-bottom: 10px;
font-size: 1.2rem;
}
.HeaderElem:hover {
transition: transform 0.5s ease;
transform: scale(0.9);
color: #3eccb5;
border: 1px solid;
border-radius: 0.2rem;
border-color: #e0dede;
}
.HeaderSeperator {
padding-left: 2rem;
}
.HeadUp {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
left: 0;
}
.ResizeImage {
height: auto;
width: 100%;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
opacity: 0.99;
}
.TextField {
position: absolute;
bottom: 40%;
left: 35%;
color: white;
padding-left: 20px;
padding-right: 20px;
}
What I am getting vs What I wanted:
I want to pack this whole thing together and so it could just effectively change its shape according to the screen size. I have used Bootstrap but I am new to React and designing my entire website on codesandbox.io. Do let me know the best way to do so.
Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I think your problem is purely HTML/CSS and not so much React. Thanks for flexbox centering content got a lot easier today.
Change your HTML like this:
<div>
<div class="Container">
<div class="imageContainer"></div>
<div class="TextField">
<h1 class="BGH1">WE DO IT TOGETHER</h1>
<h1 class="BGH1">SO LET'S CREATE</h1>
</div>
</div>
</div>
And your CSS like this:
.Container {
display: flex;
justify-content: center;
align-items: center;
background-color:blue;
position: relative;
color: white;
text-align: center;
height: 300px;
}
.imageContainer {
position: absolute;
width: 100%;
height: 100%;
opacity: 0.2;
background-image: url("https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1533139143976-30918502365b?ixlib=rb-1.2.1&q=80&fm=jpg&crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&w=1080&fit=max");
background-position: center center;
}
Here is a fiddle test it: https://jsfiddle.net/gtqna9c1/7/
How it works
Instead of trying to center changing text by absolute positioning it is a lot easier to create conditions where the text is always centered, no matter what. The background image is now a simple background of a div that is covering your whole box.
The fiddle is simplified and coloured for clarity. Feel free to add paddings etc. as you wish.
