A React library that automatically compares and sets the highest element height. Fully compatible with React Server Components and Next.js 14, supporting TypeScript for enhanced development experience.

Package Exports

  • react-equal-height
  • react-equal-height/index.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (react-equal-height) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Usage

import React from 'react';
import { EqualHeight, EqualHeightElement } from 'react-equal-height';

const App = () => {
    return (
        <EqualHeight>
            <EqualHeightElement name="Name">
                <p>
                    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Proin nibh augue, suscipit a, scelerisque sed, lacinia in, mi. Cras vel lorem.
                </p>
            </EqualHeightElement>
            <EqualHeightElement name="Name">
                <p>
                    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Proin nibh augue, suscipit a, scelerisque sed, lacinia in, mi. Cras vel lorem.

                </p>
            </EqualHeightElement>
        </EqualHeight>
    )
}

export default App;
  • EqualHeight - all elements for which height will be calculating must be included in this element
  • EqualHeightElement - element for which will be calculating height
  • EqualHeightContext - lib context

forceUpdate, setForceUpdate - force to recalculate heights for components
