Welcome folks today in this blog post we will be building instagram ui clone in browser using the react-instagram-ui-kit library in javascript. All the full source code of the application is shown below.

Get Started

In order to get started you need to make a new react.js app using the below command as shown below

Building Instagram UI Clone Using Components

Now we can modify the App.js file and copy paste the following code

App.js

import {
  Grid,
  Profile,
  Photo,
  GridControlBar,
  GridControlBarItem,
} from "react-instagram-ui-kit";


const examplePhotos = [
  "https://picsum.photos/800/720",
  "https://picsum.photos/900/720",
  "https://picsum.photos/1000/720",
  "https://picsum.photos/500/720",
  "https://picsum.photos/600/720"
]


export default function Index() {
  return (
    <div>
      <Profile
        bio={`
      Lead guitarist of AC⚡DC
    `}
        pictureSrc="https://picsum.photos/200/300"
        username="angusyoung"
        followersData={[31, 3000000, 55]}
        fullname="Angus Young"
      />
      <Grid>
        <GridControlBar>
          <GridControlBarItem isActive>𐄹 Posts</GridControlBarItem>
          <GridControlBarItem>웃 Tagged</GridControlBarItem>
        </GridControlBar>
        {examplePhotos.map((photo) => (
          <Photo src={photo} key={photo} />
        ))}
      </Grid>
      </div>
  );
}

import {

Grid,

Profile,

Photo,

GridControlBar,

GridControlBarItem,

} from "react-instagram-ui-kit";

const examplePhotos = [

"https://picsum.photos/800/720",

"https://picsum.photos/900/720",

"https://picsum.photos/1000/720",

"https://picsum.photos/500/720",

"https://picsum.photos/600/720"

]

export default function Index() {

return (

<div>

<Profile

bio={`

Lead guitarist of AC⚡DC

pictureSrc="https://picsum.photos/200/300"

username="angusyoung"

followersData={[31, 3000000, 55]}

fullname="Angus Young"

<Grid>

<GridControlBarItem isActive>𐄹 Posts</GridControlBarItem>

<GridControlBarItem>웃 Tagged</GridControlBarItem>

</GridControlBar>

{examplePhotos.map((photo) => (

))}

</Grid>

</div>

);

}

As you can see we are importing the react-instagram-ui-kit library at the top and then we are declaring an array of images from picsum and then we are rendering out the user profile component where we are attaching the pic from picsum for the user avatar and then we have text for the name of the person and the followers and the biography of the user. And then we have the grid where the user uploaded images will be shown as shown below. And for displaying the images we are using the map operator to iterate over each image and display it.
