i'm using create-react-app and have a navbar that I would like to add a background image to. I have tried a couple different things like add the backgroundImage styling and adding an image tag but have not been able to make it work. The picture I am using is a .jpg and was downloaded from a stock image site. I added the image to my project by dragging it in and adding it to an images folder.
The current path from my header (what I called my navbar) file to my image is ../../images/pexels-kai-pilger-1341279.jpg
Here is my header file:
import React from 'react';
import { makeStyles } from '@material-ui/core';
import { ReactComponent as MenuLogo } from '../../images/menu-logo.svg';
const useStyles = makeStyles(theme => {
return ({
header: {
backgroundColor: '#d9d9d9',
boxShadow: '0rem 0rem 0rem 0.05rem #666666',
padding: '0rem 1rem 0rem 1rem',
position: 'relative',
width: '100vw',
height: 70,
zIndex: '100',
display: 'flex',
justifyContent: 'space-between',
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundImage: "url('SpaceLogo')"
},
headerActive: {
left: 352,
backgroundColor: '#d9d9d9',
boxShadow: '0rem 0rem 0rem 0.05rem #666666',
padding: '0rem 1rem 0rem 1rem',
position: 'relative',
width: '81.7%',
height: 70,
zIndex: '100',
display: 'flex',
justifyContent: 'space-between',
alignItems: 'center'
},
menuLogo: {
backgroundColor: '#d9d9d9',
border: 'none',
'&:hover': {
cursor: 'pointer'
}
},
});
});
function Header(props) {
const { toggleMenu, isMenuOpen } = props;
const classes = useStyles(props);
return (
<div className={ isMenuOpen ? classes.headerActive : classes.header } >
<button
className={classes.menuLogo}
onClick={() => toggleMenu()}>
<MenuLogo />
</button>
</div>
);
}
export default (Header);
I believe that is the only file that is needed for this question, but I can update if I need to add more info.
If I could get some help on how to get this set up, that would be great.
Bonus question: Is there a way for me to choose what part of the picture is visible in the navbar? For example, the image is a large square but my navbar is a thin rectangle. I would like to use the middle of the image as the background as opposed to the top.

header: {
backgroundColor: '#d9d9d9',
boxShadow: '0rem 0rem 0rem 0.05rem #666666',
padding: '0rem 1rem 0rem 1rem',
position: 'relative',
width: '100vw',
height: 70,
zIndex: '100',
display: 'flex',
justifyContent: 'space-between',
alignItems: 'center',
backgroundImage: `url(${SpaceLogo})`
},
This should be work
