How to use the useWindowSize hook for adaptive images in Next.js

To use the useWindowSize hook for adaptive images in a Next.js project, you'll need to follow these general steps:

1. Install Dependencies: Make sure you have the necessary dependencies installed. You can use a package like react-use that provides the useWindowSize hook.

   bashCopy code
   npm install react-use
   

2. Create the useWindowSize Hook: Create a custom hook file (e.g., useWindowSize.js) where you define and export the useWindowSize hook. You can use the useWindowSize hook from the react-use package.

   jsxCopy code
   // useWindowSize.js
   import { useWindowSize } from 'react-use';
   
   const useAdaptiveImage = () => {
     const { width, height } = useWindowSize();
   
     // You can add additional logic based on the window size if needed
   
     return { width, height };
   };
   
   export default useAdaptiveImage;
   

3. Use the Hook in Your Component: Import and use the useAdaptiveImage hook in the component where you want to make the images adaptive. Use the window size information to determine the appropriate image source.

   jsxCopy code
   // YourComponent.js
   import React from 'react';
   import useAdaptiveImage from './useWindowSize';
   
   const YourComponent = () => {
     const { width } = useAdaptiveImage();
     const imageUrl = width > 600 ? 'large-image.jpg' : 'small-image.jpg';
   
     return (
       <div>
         <img src={imageUrl} alt="Adaptive Image" />
       </div>
     );
   };
   
   export default YourComponent;
   

   In this example, the useAdaptiveImage hook is used to get the window size, and based on the width, you can dynamically choose the appropriate image source (large-image.jpg or small-image.jpg).

4. Ensure Responsive Images: Make sure that your images have appropriate sizes for different breakpoints. You can use CSS to style the images responsively. For example, you might use the max-width property to make sure the image doesn't exceed a certain size on smaller screens.

   cssCopy code
   /* YourComponent.module.css */
   img {
     max-width: 100%;
     height: auto;
   }
   

5. Test: Test your component at different screen sizes to ensure that the adaptive image loading is working as expected.

Remember that the actual logic for choosing different image sources or handling responsive images might vary based on your specific requirements. The example provided is a basic illustration, and you might need to adapt it to fit your project's needs.
