## Requirement
To use `react-cool-dimensions`, you must use `[email protected]` or greater which includes hooks.
## Installation
This package is distributed via [npm](https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-cool-dimensions).
```sh
$ yarn add react-cool-dimensions
# or
$ npm install --save react-cool-dimensions
```
## Usage
`react-cool-dimensions` has a flexible [API](#api) design, it can cover simple to complex use cases for you. Here are some examples to show you how does it work.
> ⚠️ [Most modern browsers support ResizeObserver natively](https://caniuse.com/?search=ResizeObserver). You can also use [polyfill](#resizeobserver-polyfill) for full browser support.
### Basic Use Case
To report the size of an element by the `width` and `height` states.
```js
import useDimensions from "react-cool-dimensions";
const App = () => {
const { observe, unobserve, width, height, entry } = useDimensions({
onResize: ({ observe, unobserve, width, height, entry }) => {
// Triggered whenever the size of the target is changed...
unobserve(); // To stop observing the current target element
observe(); // To re-start observing the current target element
},
});
return (
Hi! My width is {width}px and height is {height}px
);
};
```
> 💡 You don't have to call `unobserve` when the component is unmounted, this hook will handle it for you.
### Responsive Components
We have [media queries](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Media_Queries) but those are based on the browser viewport not individual elements. In some cases, we'd like to style components based on the width of a containing element rather than the browser viewport. To meet this demand there's a [proposal](https://wicg.github.io/container-queries) for **container queries**, but it still doesn't exist today...
No worries, `react-cool-dimensions` provides an alternative solution for us! We can activate the **responsive mode** by the `breakpoints` option. It's a width-based solution, once it's activated we can easily apply different styles to a component according to the `currentBreakpoint` state. The overall concept as below.
If you wish to update the state on the breakpoints changed, you can set the `updateOnBreakpointChange` option to `true`.
```js
import useDimensions from "react-cool-dimensions";
const Card = () => {
const { observe, currentBreakpoint } = useDimensions({
// The "currentBreakpoint" will be the object key based on the target's width
// for instance, 0px - 319px (currentBreakpoint = XS), 320px - 479px (currentBreakpoint = SM) and so on
breakpoints: { XS: 0, SM: 320, MD: 480, LG: 640 },
// Will only update the state on breakpoint changed, default is false
updateOnBreakpointChange: true,
onResize: ({ currentBreakpoint }) => {
// Now the event callback will be triggered when breakpoint is changed
// we can also access the "currentBreakpoint" here
},
});
return (
I'm 😎
I'm 👕
);
};
```
> Note: If the `breakpoints` option isn't set or there's no the defined breakpoint (object key) for a range of width. The `currentBreakpoint` will be empty string.
## Conditionally Updating State
You can use the `shouldUpdate` option to conditionally update the state to reduce unnecessary re-renders as below.
```js
const returnObj = useDimensions({
shouldUpdate: ({ currentBreakpoint, width, height, entry }) => {
// Will only update the state when the target element's width greater than 300px
return state.width > 300;
},
});
```
> Note: When `updateOnBreakpointChange` and `shouldUpdate` are used at the same time, `shouldUpdate` has a higher priority.
## Border-box Size Measurement
By default, the hook reports the `width` and `height` based on the [content rectangle](https://developers.google.com/web/updates/2016/10/resizeobserver#what_is_being_reported) of the target element. We can include the padding and border for measuring by the `useBorderBoxSize` option. Please note, the `width` and `height` states are rely on the [ResizeObserverEntry.borderBoxSize](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ResizeObserverEntry/borderBoxSize) but [it hasn't widely implemented by browsers](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ResizeObserverEntry/borderBoxSize#Browser_compatibility) therefore we need to use [polyfill](#resizeobserver-polyfill) for this feature.
```js
import useDimensions from "react-cool-dimensions";
import { ResizeObserver } from "@juggle/resize-observer";
const App = () => {
const { observe, width, height } = useDimensions({
useBorderBoxSize: true, // Tell the hook to measure based on the border-box size, default is false
polyfill: ResizeObserver, // Use polyfill to make this feature works on more browsers
});
return (
{/* Now the width and height will be: 100px + 10px + 5px = 115px */}
Hi! My width is {width}px and height is {height}px
);
};
```
## How to Share A `ref`?
You can share a `ref` as follows:
```js
import { useRef } from "react";
import useDimensions from "react-cool-dimensions";
const App = () => {
const ref = useRef();
const { observe } = useDimensions();
return (
{
observe(el); // Set the target element for measuring
ref.current = el; // Share the element for other purposes
}}
/>
);
};
```
## Performance Optimization
The `onResize` event will be triggered whenever the size of the target element is changed. We can reduce the frequency of the event callback by activating the [responsive mode](#responsive-components) or implementing our own throttled/debounced function as below. Note that in order to throttle/debounce the function correctly, it will need to be memorized else it will be recreated on every render call.
```js
import { useMemo } from "react";
import _ from "lodash";
const returnObj = useDimensions({
onResize: useMemo(
() =>
_.throttle(() => {
// Triggered once per every 500 milliseconds
}, 500),
[]
),
});
```
## Working in TypeScript
This hook supports [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org), you can tell the hook what type of element you are going to observe through the [generic type](https://www.typescriptlang.org/docs/handbook/generics.html):
```ts
const App = () => {
const { observe } = useDimensions();
return
;
};
```
> 💡 For more available types, please [check it out](src/react-cool-dimensions.d.ts).
## API
```js
const returnObj = useDimensions(options?: object);
```
### Return object
It's returned with the following properties.
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
| ------------------- | -------------- | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `observe` | function | | To set a target element for measuring or re-start observing the current target element. |
| `unobserve` | function | | To stop observing the current target element. |
| `width` | number or null | null | The width of the target element in pixel. Null while target has not mounted. |
| `height` | number or null | null | The height of the target element in pixel. Null while target has not mounted.Z |
| `currentBreakpoint` | string | | Indicates the current breakpoint of the [responsive components](#responsive-components). |
| `entry` | object | | The [ResizeObserverEntry](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/ResizeObserverEntry) of the target element. |
### Parameter
The `options` provides the following configurations and event callback for you.
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
| -------------------------- | -------------- | ------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `breakpoints` | object | | Activates the responsive mode for [responsive components](#responsive-components) or [performance optimization](#performance-optimization). |
| `updateOnBreakpointChange` | boolean | `false` | Tells the hook to update the state on breakpoint changed. |
| `useBorderBoxSize` | boolean | `false` | Tells the hook to [measure the target element based on the border-box size](#border-box-size-measurement). |
| `shouldUpdate` | function | | Tells the hook to [conditionally update the state](#conditionally-updating-state). |
| `onResize` | function | | It's invoked whenever the size of the target element is changed. But in [responsive mode](#responsive-components), it's invoked based on the changing of the breakpoint rather than the size. |
| `polyfill` | ResizeObserver | | It's used for [injecting a polyfill](#resizeobserver-polyfill). |
## ResizeObserver Polyfill
[ResizeObserver has good support amongst browsers](https://caniuse.com/?search=ResizeObserver), but it's not universal. You'll need to use polyfill for browsers that don't support it. Polyfills is something you should do consciously at the application level. Therefore `react-cool-dimensions` doesn't include it.
We recommend using [@juggle/resize-observer](https://github.com/juggle/resize-observer):
```sh
$ yarn add @juggle/resize-observer
# or
$ npm install --save @juggle/resize-observer
```
Then inject it by the `polyfill` option:
```js
import { ResizeObserver } from "@juggle/resize-observer";
const { width, height } = useDimensions(ref, { polyfill: ResizeObserver });
```
Or pollute the `window` object:
```js
import { ResizeObserver, ResizeObserverEntry } from "@juggle/resize-observer";
if (!("ResizeObserver" in window)) {
window.ResizeObserver = ResizeObserver;
// Only use it when you have this trouble: https://github.com/wellyshen/react-cool-dimensions/issues/45
// window.ResizeObserverEntry = ResizeObserverEntry;
}
```
You could use dynamic imports to only load the file when the polyfill is required:
```js
(async () => {
if (!("ResizeObserver" in window)) {
const module = await import("@juggle/resize-observer");
window.ResizeObserver = module.ResizeObserver;
// Only use it when you have this trouble: https://github.com/wellyshen/react-cool-dimensions/issues/45
// window.ResizeObserverEntry = module.ResizeObserverEntry;
}
})();
```
