React Slick Slide Height Issue

Question

I'm having trouble getting these React-Slick slider components to be the same height. They're both responsive divs and resize accordingly as the page size changes, but I would ideally want the div on the left to be the same height as the div on the right.

I have my SimpleSlider defined with the below code snippet.

class SimpleSlider extends React.Component {
  constructor(props) {
    super(props);
    ...
  }
  render() {
    let settings = {
      dots: true,
      infinite: true,
      arrows: true,
      speed: 500,
      slidesToShow: 2,
      slidesToScroll: 2,
      initialSlide: 0,
      responsive: [...]
    };
    let Components = this.sliderObjects.components;

    return (
      <div>
        <h2> {this.sliderObjects.title} </h2>
        <Slider {...settings} >
        {
          Components.map((component,index)=>
           <div key={index}  >
            <SliderComponent key={index} {...component} />
            </div>
            )
        }
        </Slider>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

And then my SliderComponent is defined as so

class SliderComponent extends React.Component{
  render() {
    return (
      <div className='slick-slider-component'>
            <h3>{this.props.header}</h3>
            <p>{this.props.text}</p>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

Can anyone help me with this? It feels like it should be possible and not overwhelmingly difficult, but I can't figure it out.

If you know your maximum height, you can style your SliderComponent with some minHeight (or min-height in css). You can find some input here.

if you don't know it: hook in your componentWillMount:

componentDidMount() {
    const height = document.getElementById('slidercomponent-id').clientHeight;
    this.setState({ height });
  },

and set this height as your height in your div.
