The Next.js Image component has built-in Lazyloading but forces you to specify a width & height. Yet most times you do not know this information beforehand. Nor do you want images to look squashed by providing the wrong width or height.
I discovered with a few lines of CSS you can get around this. Thus your images will fill all the available space in the div.
So wrap the component with an unset-img
class and give the component itself the className custom-img
. Note the layout mode must be set to "fill".
<div className="unset-img">
<Image alt="Mountains" src="/project/pexels-photo.jpeg" layout="fill" className="custom-img"
/>
</div>
Here is the CSS which overrides the next.js functionality.
.custom-img {
object-fit: contain;
width: 100% !important;
position: relative !important;
height: unset !important;
}
.unset-img {
width: 100%;
}
.unset-img > div {
position: unset !important;
}

Hi all, I've had trouble with this and managed to get it working by using width height at 100% and objectFit property 'contain' all as props within the Image component.
This is the cleaner solution.
Nice!
