matchmedia-ng

============



matchmedia-ng is a set of [AngularJS](http://angularjs.org/) bindings and helper functions for the [matchMedia javascript api](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.matchMedia).

With matchMedia, AngularJS and matchmedia-ng you can automatically respond to the orientation, browser height, width and other properties supported by CSS Media Queries.



matchmedia-ng provides two core methods `.is()` and `.on`.



`.on()` is syntactically similar to the angular `.$on()` method, providing a way to listen on media queries and respond.

`.is()` is just a simple alias for the `matchMedia().matches` method.



Both `on()` and `is()` have aliases provided for the following common media queries:



- print - `print`

- screen - `screen`

- phone - `(max-width: 767px)`

- tablet - `(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 979px)`

- desktop - `(min-width: 979px)`

- portrait - `(orientation: portrait)`

- landscape - `(orientation: landscape)`



They can be used as `onPrint()`, `isPortrait()`, `onLandscape()` etc. 



### Live Demo: AngularJS Media Query App.



Check out the `github-pages` branch for more the live demo code.



Install

-----



    bower install matchmedia-ng



Usage

-----

Include [angular.js](//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.7/angular.min.js) and mediastore-ng.js in your application.

Optionally you can include the matchMedia polyfill if are worried about [browser compatibility](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window.matchMedia#Browser_compatibility) 



```html



```



Add the module `matchmedia-ng` as a dependency to your app module:



```js

var myapp = angular.module('myapp', ['matchmedia-ng']);

```



Quick Start

----------------------------------



Set `matchmedia` as a service dependency in your controller:



```js

myapp.controller('MyCtrl', ['$scope', 'matchmedia',

  function MyCtrl($scope, matchmedia) {

    ...

  }

]);

```

If you would like to execute javascript code to load a higher resolution image when the page loads on a tablet rather than a mobile phone, you could do something like the following in your controller:



```js

$scope.tablet = matchmedia.isTablet();

if($scope.tablet){

	$scope.primaryImg = "images/[email protected]";

}



```



If you would like to do something a bit more complicated, such as detect when the user drags the page below the threshold of a mobile phone, you can do something like this:



```js

var unregister = matchmedia.onPhone( function(mediaQueryList){

  $scope.isPhone = mediaQueryList.matches;

});



```



Or even execute javascript when the user attempts to print the page.

```js

var unregister = matchmedia.onPrint( function(mediaQueryList){

  $scope.isPrint = mediaQueryList.matches;

  //hide ads, show water mark, pause animations/video, etc.

});



```



See the source for the

[controller behind the demo app](http://analogj.github.io/matchmedia-ng/index.html)

for a working example code.



Custom Media Queries

-----------

Though the common media query aliases are helpful, in some cases you will want to execute javascript on very specific media queries (maybe in tandem with a specific css media query). In that case you can use the core `.on()` and `.is()` functions;



__on()__



    /**

     * @param {string} query Media query to listen on.

     * @param {function(mediaQueryList)} listener Function to call when the media query is matched.

     * @param {$scope} $scope Optional AngularJS scope, if not provided will use $rootScope

     * @returns {function()} Returns a deregistration function for this listener.

     */

    matchmedia.on(query, listener, $scope)



	

	matchmedia.on('tv and (min-width: 700px) and (orientation: landscape)', function(mediaQueryList){

		console.log(mediaQueryList.matches);

	})



__is()__



	/**

     * @param {string} query media query to test.

     * @returns {boolean} Returns true if the media query matches.

     */

    matchmedia.is(query)



	var resp = matchmedia.is('(min-width: 700px), handheld and (orientation: landscape)');



Aliases & Shortcuts

-----------

The following is a comprehensive list of the media query aliases.

 

	matchmedia.onPrint(listener, $scope)

    matchmedia.onScreen(listener, $scope)

    matchmedia.onPhone(listener, $scope)

    matchmedia.onTablet(listener, $scope

    matchmedia.onDesktop(listener, $scope)

    matchmedia.onPortrait(listener, $scope)

    matchmedia.onLandscape(listener, $scope)



    matchmedia.isPrint()

    matchmedia.isScreen()

    matchmedia.isPhone()

    matchmedia.isTablet()

    matchmedia.isDesktop()

    matchmedia.isPortrait()

    matchmedia.isLandscape()



### Override Aliases

It is possible to override the media queries given for the aliases above by using a `config` function.



```js

angular.module('myapp', ['matchmedia-ng']).config(['matchmediaProvider', function (matchmediaProvider) {

      matchmediaProvider.rules.phone = "(max-width: 500px)";

      matchmediaProvider.rules.desktop = "(max-width: 1500px)";

   }]);



```



Logging

-----------

You can enable logging by using the following snippet in your code.



```js

    .config(['loggerProvider',function(loggerProvider){

        loggerProvider.setDEVMODE(true);

    }])

```

TODO

-----------

- Add more documentaton regarding the matchmedia queries. (full options list).

- Example with polyfill.

- Tests for the matchmedia-ng framework are coming shortly.



Pull Requests

-----------

To make a pull request, please do the following:



Mention what specific version matchmedia-ng.js you were using when you encountered the issue/added the feature. This can be accessed by looking at the matchmedia-ng.js file header.

Provide a pastie or gist that demonstrates the bug/feature

Do not modify the version header. I will modify that manually when merging the request
