###Build From Source

If you want build from source:

git clone [email protected]:amazingSurge/breakpoints-js.git
cd breakpoints-js
npm install
npm install -g gulp-cli babel-cli
gulp build

Done!

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

Breakpoints.current();

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');

Browser support

Tested on all major browsers.

Development

jquery-scrollTo is built modularly and uses Gulp as a build system to build its distributable files. To install the necessary dependencies for the build system, please run:

npm install -g gulp
npm install -g babel-cli
