# tw-screens

**`tw-screens`** is a lightweight TypeScript library for managing responsive breakpoints dynamically. Inspired by Tailwind CSS, `tw-screens` lets you define custom breakpoints and use hooks to handle UI responsiveness, all while staying compatible with Tailwind's screen configuration.

- **Size**: 4.19 KB (compressed)
- **Type-safe**: Full TypeScript support for optimal DX
- **Coverage**: 90%+ test coverage
- **Compatibility**: Tailwind CSS breakpoint API
- **Performance**: Optimized BreakpointManager for minimal overhead
- **Zero Dependencies**: Minimal footprint

## Features

- **Dynamic Breakpoints**: Customizable breakpoints on the fly.
- **Tailwind Compatible**: Same screen API for easy integration.
- **Responsive Hooks**: Includes `useScreen`, `useScreenReverse`, `useScreenValue`, and `useScreenEffect`.
- **Optimized Performance**: Efficient management via BreakpointManager without requiring a provider.
- **Lightweight**: 4.19 KB size keeps your bundle small.
- **SSR Compatible**: Works seamlessly with server-side rendering.

## Installation

Install `tw-screens` via npm, yarn or pnpm:

```sh
npm install tw-screens
```

or

```sh
yarn add tw-screens
```

or

```sh
pnpm add tw-screens
```

## Getting Started

`tw-screens` is flexible for defining breakpoints and using them in your components.

### Step-by-Step Example: Tailwind CSS Breakpoints

Easily integrate `tw-screens` with your Tailwind CSS configuration.

1. **Define Screens Configuration**

Define screens similar to Tailwind CSS using `min`, `max`, or `raw`.

```typescript
// screens.ts
export const screens = {
sm: "640px",
md: "768px",
lg: "1024px",
xl: "1280px",
"2xl": "1536px",
custom: { min: "600px", max: "900px" },
wide: { raw: "(min-width: 1600px)" },
} as const;
```

2. **Create Hooks Using `tw-screens`**

Use the `create` function to generate hooks for managing breakpoints.

```typescript
// hooks.ts
import { create } from "tw-screens";
import { screens } from "./screens";

export const { useScreen, useScreenReverse, useScreenValue, useScreenEffect } = create(screens);
```

3. **Integrate with Tailwind CSS**

Add your screens to Tailwind to sync breakpoints.

```typescript
// tailwind.config.js
const { screens } = require('./screens');

module.exports = {
theme: {
screens: {
...screens,
},
},
};
```

4. **Use Hooks in Components**

Use the generated hooks in your components.

```typescript
// ExampleComponent.tsx
import React from "react";
import { useScreen } from "./hooks";

const ExampleComponent = () => {
const isDesktop = useScreen("md");

return

{isDesktop ? "Desktop View" : "Mobile View"}
;
};

export default ExampleComponent;
```

### Raw CSS Breakpoints for Flexibility

Define custom breakpoints directly using CSS media queries.

```typescript
import { useBreakpoint } from 'tw-screens/hooks';

function CustomRawBreakpointComponent() {
const isWideScreen = useBreakpoint({ raw: "screen and (min-width: 1400px)" });

return

{isWideScreen ? "Wide Screen View" : "Regular View"}
;
}
```

### Two Ways to Use `tw-screens`

1. **With Tailwind Screens**: Define breakpoints with Tailwind and sync them:

```typescript
theme: {
screens: {
...screens
}
}
```

Default Tailwind configuration users can create hooks without a custom object:

```typescript
import { create } from 'tw-screens';
export const { useScreen, useScreenReverse, useScreenValue, useScreenEffect } = create();
```

2. **Ad-hoc Breakpoints with `useBreakpoint`**: Use for one-off breakpoints:

```typescript
import { useBreakpoint } from 'tw-screens/hooks';

const ExampleComponent = () => {
const isMediumScreen = useBreakpoint("850px");
return

{isMediumScreen ? "Medium Screen" : "Other Screen"}
;
};
```

## API Documentation

- **`create(screens: ScreensConfig)`**
- Generates hooks like `useScreen`, `useScreenReverse`, and others for custom breakpoints.

- **`useBreakpoint(breakpoint: ScreenValue, options?: UseBreakpointOptions): boolean`**
- **breakpoint**: A string or object (`{ min: '640px', max: '1024px' }`).

- **`useBreakpointReverse(breakpoint: ScreenValue): boolean`**
- Provides the opposite of `useBreakpoint`.

For more details, check the [documentation](./docs).

## Problem Solved

`tw-screens` simplifies responsive UIs in React, supporting custom breakpoints and easy Tailwind integration while ensuring type safety and performance.

- **Type Safety**: Reliable, type-checked breakpoints.
- **Tailwind Integration**: Share breakpoints with Tailwind without loading the full config.
- **Performance**: Efficient breakpoint management without providers.
- **SSR Compatible**: Works smoothly with server-side rendering.
- **No Dependencies**: Lightweight and conflict-free.
