Set background image to full screen in Reactjs

I'm trying to set a background image in React but it only covers about 75% of the height.

It seems that the component doesn't take up all of the height.

What's the solution?

In index.js:

ReactDOM.render(<Login />, document.getElementById('root'));

In index.css:

html, body, .Login-component {
  height: 100%;
}

In Login.js:

render() {
    return (
      <div className='Login-component'>
    );
}

In Login.css

.Login-component {
    background: url(../static/login-bg.jpg) no-repeat center center fixed;
  background-size: cover;
}

The end result: Screen shot

.Login-component{

    background-image:url(path) ;
    background-position: center;
    background-size: cover;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    height: 100vh;
  
}

Full typescript solution:

import imgBG from "../assets/imgBG.jpg";

interface imgStyleType {
   backgroundImage: string;
   backgroundPosition: string;
   backgroundSize: string;
   backgroundRepeat: string;
   width: string;
   height: string;
}

const imgStyle: imgStyleType = {
   backgroundImage: `url(${imgBG})`,
   backgroundPosition: "center",
   backgroundSize: "cover",
   backgroundRepeat: "no-repeat",
   width: "100vw",
   height: "100vh",
};

export default function ImgBG() {
   return (
      <>
         <div style={imgStyle} />
      </>
   );
}

An answer by Jorge Carretero is helpful and in case it still doesn't work for you, try adding default

const imgMyimageexample = require('../assets/imageexample.jpg').default;
const divStyle = {
  backgroundImage: `url(${imgMyimageexample})`,
  backgroundSize: 'cover'   <---- This is important
};

Use vh and vw properties:

const styles = {
    container: {
        backgroundImage: `url(${backgroundImage})`,
        backgroundPosition: 'center',
        backgroundSize: 'cover',
        backgroundRepeat: 'no-repeat',
        width: '100vw',
        height: '100vh'
    }
};

The image should be inside your src folder besides that, inside your component you do the following.-

const imgMyimageexample = require('../assets/imageexample.jpg');
const divStyle = {
  width: '88%',
  height: '800px',
  backgroundImage: `url(${imgMyimageexample})`,
  backgroundSize: 'cover'   <---- This is important
};

export default class Mycomponent extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <div className="cComponent" style={divStyle} >
        <h1 align="center">Some header example</h1>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Try using the specific property values.

In Index.css:

body, html {
    height: 100%;
    margin: 0;
}

In Login.css:

.Login-component {
    /* The image used */
    background-image: url(../static/login-bg.jpg);

    /* Full height */
    height: 100%; 

    /* Center and scale the image nicely */
    background-position: center;
    background-repeat: no-repeat;
    background-size: cover;
}

Edit the CSS.

This might be what you are looking for: 

<Component style={{ minHeight: '100%' }} />

If you meant that the background image is not covering the whole height, then add a className to your component, import the CSS where you'll do something like this

While it is hard to troubleshoot without any code, check the root element to which your react component is being rendered to. Setting height: '100%' in the style of your component will be in the context of it's parent div.
