I'm trying to add a custom gradient over an image using React state, Tailwind CSS and the FastAverageColor package (https://www.npmjs.com/package/fast-average-color) into my Next JS app. I'm using an useEffect hook for this:
const [avgColor, setAvgColor] = useState("")
useEffect(() => {
const fac = new FastAverageColor()
fac.getColorAsync(songData.track.album.images[0].url, { algorithm: 'dominant' }).then(result => {
setAvgColor(`w-full h-full absolute bg-gradient-to-tr from-[${result.hex}] to-transparent`)
})
}, [avgColor, songData.track.album.images])
The JSX is presented below:
<div className="relative w-full h-full">
<Image priority alt="test" layout='fill' objectFit='cover' src={songData.track.album.images[0].url} />
{avgColor ? <div className={avgColor}></div> : null}
</div>
The problem is that my gradient doesn't appear over the image. Do you know maybe why this happens?
CodePudding user response:
It's not possible to do with JIT classes but you can use from-current
and set an inline color to set the from color.
So, try this:
setAvgColor(result.hex)
and
<div className="w-full h-full absolute bg-gradient-to-tr from-current to-transparent" style={{color: avgColor}}></div>
