Auto scale image height with React Native

Try this:

 import React, { Component, PropTypes } from "react";
 import { Image } from "react-native";

export default class ScaledImage extends Component {
constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    this.state = { source: { uri: this.props.uri } };
}

componentWillMount() {
    Image.getSize(this.props.uri, (width, height) => {
        if (this.props.width && !this.props.height) {
            this.setState({
                width: this.props.width,
                height: height * (this.props.width / width)
            });
        } else if (!this.props.width && this.props.height) {
            this.setState({
                width: width * (this.props.height / height),
                height: this.props.height
            });
        } else {
            this.setState({ width: width, height: height });
        }
    });
}

render() {
    return (
        <Image
            source={this.state.source}
            style={{ height: this.state.height, width: this.state.width }}
        />
    );
}
}

ScaledImage.propTypes = {
uri: PropTypes.string.isRequired,
width: PropTypes.number,
height: PropTypes.number
};

I’m passing the URL as a prop called uri. You can specify your width prop as Dimensions.get('window').width and that should cover it.

Note that this will also work if you know what you want to set the height to and you need to resize the width to maintain the ratio. In that case, you would specify the height prop instead of the width one.
