React/Next.js Example: Image Zoom with Vanilla JavaScript
This library demonstrates how to create a light-weight image zoom for an eccommerce site using plain javascript (no libraries!) and React. I'm using the Next.js framework for server-side rendering, but this example should also work for normal React. The CSS is being handled by Styled-JSX, which comes with Next, but can be easily ported to other CSS preprocessors.
Uses two images: a smaller preview, and a higher resolution original. The smaller image is all that loads with the page, and the larger, higher detail image is loaded lazily when the zoom is used.
To start: npm run dev then navigate to localhost:3000 in your browser.
