###Build From Source
If you want build from source:
git clone git@github.com:amazingSurge/breakpoints-js.git
cd breakpoints-js
npm install
npm install -g gulp-cli babel-cli
gulp buildDone!
Usage
Before you try anything, you need to include breakpoints.js in your page.
<script src="breakpoints.min.js"></script>
You may need provide a matchMedia polyfill if you wish to support old/incapable browsers.
Then you can init the script easily by code
<script type="text/javascript"> Breakpoints(); </script>
Examples
There are some example usages that you can look at to get started. They can be found in the examples folder.
Defaults
It will use the bootstrap media query breakpoints by default:
Breakpoints.defaults = { // Extra small devices (phones) xs: { min: 0, max: 767 }, // Small devices (tablets) sm: { min: 768, max: 991 }, // Medium devices (desktops) md: { min: 992, max: 1199, }, // Large devices (large desktops) lg: { min: 1200, max: Infinity } };
You can set up your own breakpoints when initialize it:
<script type="text/javascript"> Breakpoints({ mobile: { min: 0, max: 767 }, tablet: { min: 768, max: 991 }, destop: { min: 992, max: Infinity } }); </script>
Methods
is
Check if the current screen is a specific size.
Breakpoints.is('xs'); // return true or false
get
Return the size object that you can operate it handily.
// get size object var sm = Breakpoints.get('sm'); // attach events sm.on('enter', function(){ // do something }); // remove event handler sm.off('enter'); // get min width sm.min // 768 // get max width sm.max // 991 // get media query sm.media // "(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 991px)" // check if it's current size sm.isMatched(); // true or false // you can do in a chain Breakpoints.get('sm').on({ enter: function(){ }, leave: function(){ } });
current
Return the current screen size object
on
Attach an event handler function for one or more events to the size
Breakpoints.on('md', { enter: function() { console.info('enter '+ this.name); }, leave: function() { console.info('leave '+ this.name); } }); Breakpoints.on('lg', 'enter', function(){ console.info('hello lg'); });
Passing data to the callback
Breakpoints.on('sm', "enter", { name: "Addy" }, function(data) { console.info(data.name + ' enter '+ this.name); }); Breakpoints.on('sm', "leave", { name: "Karl" }, function(data) { console.info(data.name + ' leave '+ this.name); });
Unite sizes
Breakpoints.on('md lg', { enter: function() { console.info('enter '+ this.name); }, leave: function() { console.info('leave '+ this.name); } });
one
The handler attached to the size will executed at most once.
Breakpoints.one('md', 'enter', function(){ console.info('this only appear once when enter md'); });
off
Remove event handlers attached to size.
// remove all events attached to sm size Breakpoints.off('sm'); // remove all enter type events attached to md size Breakpoints.off('md', 'enter'); // remove specific event handler var enterHandler = function(){}; Breakpoints.on('lg', 'enter', enterHandler); Breakpoints.off('lg', { enter: enterHandler }) // alternative way Breakpoints.off('lg', 'enter', enterHandler);
change
Attach an event handler to the size change event
// attach handler to change event Breakpoints.on('change', function(){ console.info('enter ' + this.current.name); }); // altrnative example var changeHandler = function(){ // do something }; Breakpoints.on('change', changeHandler); // remove the handler Breakpoints.off('change', changeHandler); // remove all change handlers Breakpoints.off('change');
