I want to display images in a grid fashion of 3*X using react

Question

I am having an array list which comprises of image url. I want to bind each items into a div using react-bootstrap(library is not contraint but it should be compatible with react). I want to align divs in a way that in each row I will have 3 images only and if there is 4th item in collection then it slides to next row.

Below is the collection

const images = [

Answer 1

put all the images inside container and use grid

.container {
      display: grid;
      grid-template-columns: repeat(4, 1fr);
      grid-row-gap: 10px;
}

img {
       width: 200px;
       height: 200px;
}

Answer 2

I would make a wrapping Div with display: flex.

<div id="img-wrapper">
 <div><img src="your image" /></div>
 <div><img src="your image" /></div>
</div>

CSS:

#img-wrapper {
 display: flex;
 flex-wrap: wrap;
}

#img-wrapper > div {
 flex: 0 1 33%;
}

flex: tells the child-div if it should grow, shrink and which size it should have:

flex: "flex-grow" "flex-shrink" "flex-basis";

edit: as Baruch Mashasha stated, grid would be even better for this.

Answer 3

I would use Bootstrap classes to create a grid for this, something like this...

<div className="row">
 <div className="col"></div>
 <div className="col"></div>
 <div className="col"></div>
</div>

If you want to have another row you can just keep going with this idea. You can check here: https://getbootstrap.com/docs/4.0/layout/grid/ for a more thorough explanation, and to customize to your liking.
