notch-detected-event
A 0.7k script that fires a notch-detected
event if the device has a notch (currently iPhone X, XS, XR, XS Max and Google Pixel 3). If detected data-notch="true"
and data-orientation="portrait|landscape"
will be added to the <html>
element:
<html data-notch="true" data-orientation="portrait">
This allows you to modify the UI at runtime using CSS, ideal for progressive web apps.
Usage
Add notch-detected-event.min.js to your page and update your CSS:
/* make room for the notch at the top */
html[data-notch][data-orientation="portrait"] body {
padding-top: 44px;
height: calc(100% - 44px);
}
/* make room for the notch at the sides */
html[data-notch][data-orientation="landscape"] body {
padding-left: 44px;
padding-right: 44px;
width: calc(100% - 44px - 44px);
}
Or listen for the event and execute some logic:
window.addEventListener('notch-detected', function(e) {
console.log("Notch detected, move shit around");
});
