How to use the useHover hook for creating image zoom effects in Next.js



Image not found!!

To create image zoom effects using the useHover hook in Next.js, you can follow these steps:

  1. Install Dependencies: Make sure you have the necessary dependencies installed. You'll need React, Next.js, and the useHover hook. If you haven't already installed them, you can do so using npm or yarn:
bash
npm install react next react-dom

npm install use-hover

or

bash
yarn add react next react-dom

yarn add use-hover
  1. Create a Custom Hook: Create a custom hook that utilizes useHover to track mouse hover state:
javascript
// useHover.js
import { useState } from 'react';
import useHover from 'use-hover';

function useImageZoom() {
  const [isHovered, bind] = useHover();
  const [zoomed, setZoomed] = useState(false);

  const handleZoom = () => {
    setZoomed(true);
  };

  const handleUnzoom = () => {
    setZoomed(false);
  };

  return {
    isHovered,
    bind,
    zoomed,
    handleZoom,
    handleUnzoom,
  };
}

export default useImageZoom;
  1. Create Your Component: Use the custom hook to create your component with the image and zoom effect:
javascript
// ImageZoom.js
import React from 'react';
import useImageZoom from './useImageZoom';

const ImageZoom = ({ src }) => {
  const { isHovered, bind, zoomed, handleZoom, handleUnzoom } = useImageZoom();

  return (
    <div {...bind}>
      <img
        src={src}
        alt="Zoomable Image"
        onMouseEnter={handleZoom}
        onMouseLeave={handleUnzoom}
        style={{
          width: zoomed ? '200%' : '100%',
          transition: 'width 0.5s',
          cursor: isHovered ? 'zoom-in' : 'auto',
        }}
      />
    </div>
  );
};

export default ImageZoom;
  1. Use the Component: Finally, you can use the ImageZoom component in your Next.js application:
javascript
// pages/index.js
import React from 'react';
import ImageZoom from '../components/ImageZoom';

const Home = () => {
  return (
    <div>
      <h1>Image Zoom Effect Example</h1>
      <ImageZoom src="/example-image.jpg" />
    </div>
  );
};

export default Home;

Replace /example-image.jpg with the path to your image.

Now, when you hover over the image, it will zoom in, and when you move the mouse away, it will zoom out. Adjust the styling and transition timings as needed to achieve the desired effect.
