Phaser 3: Change width of sprite relative to height

I'd like to be able to change the height of my sprite to fit into a menu, however when I change the height with sprite.displayHeight = menu.height, it's width won't scale along and it will be stretched/squashed.

Is there a way to scale the width relative to the height, to keep the sprite's original ratio?

I don't know any special function, that does this out-of-the-box, BUT you can achieve this, with only one extra line of code. No extra calculation needed.
(this works also with the displayHeight)

  1. First set the width of the image: img.displayWidth = 100;
  2. Then set the scale of the Y axis (since the X-axis is set through setting the displayWidth): img.scaleY = img.scaleX;

Here the documentation, that points this out:

"...The displayed width of this Game Object.
This value takes into account the scale factor.
Setting this value will adjust the Game Object's scale property..."

Here a working demo:

// Minor formating for stackoverflow
document.body.style = "display: flex;flex-direction: column;";    

function preload ()
{
    this.load.image('img', 'https://labs.phaser.io/assets/pics/contra3.png');
}

function create ()
{
    let imgOrig = this.add.image(100,100, 'img');
    let img = this.add.image(320, 100, 'img');
    img.displayWidth = 100;

    // extra line to scale the image proportional
    img.scaleY = img.scaleX;
}

var config = {
    type: Phaser.AUTO,
    width: 536,
    height: 160,
    scene: {
        preload: preload,
        create: create
    }
};

var game = new Phaser.Game(config);
