How to create long images for horizontal screens in frontend


Creating long images for horizontal screens in frontend development involves several steps to ensure proper rendering and user experience. Here’s a comprehensive guide:

  1. Image Dimensions:
  2. Set the image width to 100% or a fixed pixel value to make it responsive.
  3. Use height: 100vh or a percentage of viewport height for longer images.

  4. CSS Layout:
    .horizontalimagecontainer {     overflowx: hidden;     whitespace: nowrap;     width: 100%;   }
    This prevents horizontal scrolling and keeps content in one line.

  5. Responsive Design:

  6. Use media queries for different screen orientations.
  7. Example for portrait adjustment:
    @media (orientation: portrait) {       .horizontalimage {         maxwidth: 100%;         height: auto;       }     }

  8. Horizontal Scroll Handling:

  9. Apply overflowx: hidden to the container to disable scrolling.
    html {     overflowx: hidden;   }

  10. Flexbox for Alignment:

  11. Use Flexbox properties to align items horizontally.
    .horizontalcontainer {     display: flex;     justifycontent: spacebetween;     width: 100%;   }

  12. JavaScript for Dynamic Content:

  13. Use Intersection Observer to detect when images enter the viewport and load them dynamically.
    “`
    const observer = new IntersectionObserver((entries) => {
    entries.forEach(entry => {
    if (entry.isIntersecting) {
    entry.target.src = entry.target.dataset.src;
    }
    });
    });

document.querySelectorAll(‘.lazy-image’).forEach(img => {
observer.observe(img);
});
“`

By following these steps, you can create long images that adapt well to horizontal screens, ensuring a seamless user experience across devices.
