## Example Usage
### With Hooks
Hooks is a new feature available in 8.0.0!
```jsx
import React from 'react'
import { useMediaQuery } from 'react-responsive'
const Example = () => {
const isDesktopOrLaptop = useMediaQuery({
query: '(min-width: 1224px)'
})
const isBigScreen = useMediaQuery({ query: '(min-width: 1824px)' })
const isTabletOrMobile = useMediaQuery({ query: '(max-width: 1224px)' })
const isPortrait = useMediaQuery({ query: '(orientation: portrait)' })
const isRetina = useMediaQuery({ query: '(min-resolution: 2dppx)' })
return
Device Test!
{isDesktopOrLaptop &&
You are a desktop or laptop
}
{isBigScreen &&
You have a huge screen
}
{isTabletOrMobile &&
You are a tablet or mobile phone
}
Your are in {isPortrait ? 'portrait' : 'landscape'} orientation
{isRetina &&
You are retina
}
}
```
### With Components
```jsx
import MediaQuery from 'react-responsive'
const Example = () => (
Device Test!
You are a desktop or laptop
You also have a huge screen
{/* You can also use a function (render prop) as a child */}
{(matches) =>
matches
? You are retina
: You are not retina
}
)
```
## API
### Using Properties
To make things more idiomatic to react, you can use camel-cased shorthands to construct media queries.
For a list of all possible shorthands and value types see https://github.com/contra/react-responsive/blob/master/src/mediaQuery.ts#L9.
Any numbers given as shorthand will be expanded to px (`1234` will become `'1234px'`).
The CSS media queries in the example above could be constructed like this:
```jsx
import React from 'react'
import { useMediaQuery } from 'react-responsive'
const Example = () => {
const isDesktopOrLaptop = useMediaQuery({ minWidth: 1224 })
const isBigScreen = useMediaQuery({ minWidth: 1824 })
const isTabletOrMobile = useMediaQuery({ maxWidth: 1224 })
const isPortrait = useMediaQuery({ orientation: 'portrait' })
const isRetina = useMediaQuery({ minResolution: '2dppx' })
return (
...
)
}
```
### Forcing a device with the `device` prop
At times you may need to render components with different device settings than what gets automatically detected. This is especially useful in a Node environment where these settings can't be detected (SSR) or for testing.
#### Possible Keys
`orientation`, `scan`, `aspectRatio`, `deviceAspectRatio`,
`height`, `deviceHeight`, `width`, `deviceWidth`, `color`, `colorIndex`, `monochrome`,
`resolution` and `type`
##### Possible Types
`type` can be one of: `all`, `grid`, `aural`, `braille`, `handheld`, `print`, `projection`,
`screen`, `tty`, `tv` or `embossed`
Note: The `device` property always applies, even when it can be detected (where window.matchMedia exists).
```jsx
import { useMediaQuery } from 'react-responsive'
const Example = () => {
const isDesktopOrLaptop = useMediaQuery(
{ minDeviceWidth: 1224 },
{ deviceWidth: 1600 } // `device` prop
)
return (
{isDesktopOrLaptop &&
this will always get rendered even if device is shorter than 1224px,
that's because we overrode device settings with 'deviceWidth: 1600'.
}
)
}
```
#### Supplying through Context
You can also pass `device` to every `useMediaQuery` hook in the components tree through a React [Context](https://reactjs.org/docs/context.html).
This should ease up server-side-rendering and testing in a Node environment, e.g:
##### Server-Side Rendering
```jsx
import { Context as ResponsiveContext } from 'react-responsive'
import { renderToString } from 'react-dom/server'
import App from './App'
...
// Context is just a regular React Context component, it accepts a `value` prop to be passed to consuming components
const mobileApp = renderToString(
)
...
```
##### Testing
```jsx
import { Context as ResponsiveContext } from 'react-responsive'
import { render } from '@testing-library/react'
import ProductsListing from './ProductsListing'
describe('ProductsListing', () => {
test('matches the snapshot', () => {
const { container: mobile } = render(
)
expect(mobile).toMatchSnapshot()
const { container: desktop } = render(
)
expect(desktop).toMatchSnapshot()
})
})
```
Note that if anything has a `device` prop passed in it will take precedence over the one from context.
### `onChange`
You can use the `onChange` callback to specify a change handler that will be called when the media query's value changes.
```jsx
import React from 'react'
import { useMediaQuery } from 'react-responsive'
const Example = () => {
const handleMediaQueryChange = (matches) => {
// matches will be true or false based on the value for the media query
}
const isDesktopOrLaptop = useMediaQuery(
{ minWidth: 1224 }, undefined, handleMediaQueryChange
);
return (
...
)
}
```
```jsx
import React from 'react'
import MediaQuery from 'react-responsive'
const Example = () => {
const handleMediaQueryChange = (matches) => {
// matches will be true or false based on the value for the media query
}
return (
...
)
}
```
## Easy Mode
That's it! Now you can create your application specific breakpoints and reuse them easily. Here is an example:
```jsx
import { useMediaQuery } from 'react-responsive'
const Desktop = ({ children }) => {
const isDesktop = useMediaQuery({ minWidth: 992 })
return isDesktop ? children : null
}
const Tablet = ({ children }) => {
const isTablet = useMediaQuery({ minWidth: 768, maxWidth: 991 })
return isTablet ? children : null
}
const Mobile = ({ children }) => {
const isMobile = useMediaQuery({ maxWidth: 767 })
return isMobile ? children : null
}
const Default = ({ children }) => {
const isNotMobile = useMediaQuery({ minWidth: 768 })
return isNotMobile ? children : null
}
const Example = () => (
Desktop or laptop
Tablet
Mobile
Not mobile (desktop or laptop or tablet)
)
export default Example
```
And if you want a combo (the DRY way):
```js
import { useMediaQuery } from "react-responsive"
const useDesktopMediaQuery = () =>
useMediaQuery({ query: "(min-width: 1280px)" })
const useTabletAndBelowMediaQuery = () =>
useMediaQuery({ query: "(max-width: 1279px)" })
const Desktop = ({ children }) => {
const isDesktop = useDesktopMediaQuery()
return isDesktop ? children : null
}
const TabletAndBelow = ({ children }) => {
const isTabletAndBelow = useTabletAndBelowMediaQuery()
return isTabletAndBelow ? children : null
}
```
