Usage

Headlines

import { Textfit } from 'react-textfit';

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Textfit mode="single">
        Fat headline!
      </Textfit>
    );
  }
}

Respect the element's height when using single lines

import { Textfit } from 'react-textfit';

class App extends Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <Textfit
        mode="single"
        forceSingleModeWidth={false}>
        Fat headline!
      </Textfit>
    );
  }
}

import { Textfit } from 'react-textfit';

class App extends Component {

      </Textfit>
    );
  }
}

Modes

single

Algorithm steps:

1. binary search to fit the element's width
2. if forceSingleModeWidth=false and text overflows height
    2a. binary search to also fit the elements height
3. if perfectFit=true and text still overflows width
    3a. decrease font size until text fits element's width

multi

Algorithm steps:

1. binary search to fit the element's height
2. if text overflows width
    2a. binary search to also fit the elements width
3. if perfectFit=true and text still overflows height
    3a. decrease font size until text fits element's height

API

<Textfit>

Props

• mode (single|multi) Algorithm to fit the text. Use single for headlines and multi for paragraphs. Default is multi.
• forceSingleModeWidth (Boolean) When mode is single and forceSingleModeWidth is true, the element's height will be ignored. Default is true.
• perfectFit (Boolean) When true, the text will always perfectly fit the element's bounds Default is true.
• min (Number) Minimum font size in pixel. Default is 1.
• max (Number) Maximum font size in pixel. Default is 100.
• throttle (Number) Window resize throttle in milliseconds. Default is 50.
• onReady (Function) Will be called when text is fitted.
