Aspect Ratio

Aspect Ratio

A Radix AspectRatio.Root — constrains its content to a fixed width/height ratio (an image, a video embed, a map) regardless of the content's own natural size.

import { AspectRatio } from "@pompeitech/vesuvius-ui";

Default

16:9

An image

The most common case — a ratio that reserves the right amount of space before the image has even loaded, so nothing shifts around it:

A mountain landscape

API

AspectRatio

PropTypeDefaultDescription
rationumber1 (square)Width divided by height — 16 / 9, 4 / 3, 1 for a square, 9 / 16 for a portrait/story format.

Plus every native <div> prop on the root, and Radix's underlying AspectRatio.Root behavior: it sizes itself via a padding-bottom percentage trick internally, so its single child should be an element that can stretch to fill it (className="size-full object-cover" on an <img>, as above).
