Handle element resizes like it's 2020!
Live demo
Nowadays browsers have started to support element resize handling natively using ResizeObservers. We use this feature (with a polyfill) to help you handle element resizes in React.
No window.resize
listeners! No timeouts! Just a pure implementation with a lightning-fast polyfill!
Installation
npm i react-resize-detector
// OR
yarn add react-resize-detector
Examples
Starting from v5.0.0 there are 2 recommended ways to work with resize-detector
library:
1. HOC pattern
import { withResizeDetector } from 'react-resize-detector';
const CustomComponent = ({ width, height }) => <div>{`${width}x${height}`}</div>;
export default withResizeDetector(CustomComponent);
2. Child Function Pattern
import ReactResizeDetector from 'react-resize-detector';
// ...
<ReactResizeDetector handleWidth handleHeight>
{({ width, height }) => <div>{`${width}x${height}`}</div>}
</ReactResizeDetector>;
Full example (Class Component)
import React, { Component } from 'react';
import { withResizeDetector } from 'react-resize-detector';
const containerStyles = {
height: '100vh',
display: 'flex',
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center'
};
class AdaptiveComponent extends Component {
state = {
color: 'red'
};
componentDidUpdate(prevProps) {
const { width } = this.props;
if (width !== prevProps.width) {
this.setState({
color: width > 500 ? 'coral' : 'aqua'
});
}
}
render() {
const { width, height } = this.props;
const { color } = this.state;
return <div style={{ backgroundColor: color, ...containerStyles }}>{`${width}x${height}`}</div>;
}
}
const AdaptiveWithDetector = withResizeDetector(AdaptiveComponent);
const App = () => {
return (
<div>
<p>The rectangle changes color based on its width</p>
<AdaptiveWithDetector />
</div>
);
};
export default App;
Full example (Functional Component)
import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';
import { withResizeDetector } from 'react-resize-detector';
const containerStyles = {
height: '100vh',
display: 'flex',
alignItems: 'center',
justifyContent: 'center'
};
const AdaptiveComponent = ({ width, height }) => {
const [color, setColor] = useState('red');
useEffect(() => {
setColor(width > 500 ? 'coral' : 'aqua');
}, [width]);
return <div style={{ backgroundColor: color, ...containerStyles }}>{`${width}x${height}`}</div>;
};
const AdaptiveWithDetector = withResizeDetector(AdaptiveComponent);
const App = () => {
return (
<div>
<p>The rectangle changes color based on its width</p>
<AdaptiveWithDetector />
</div>
);
};
export default App;
We still support other ways to work with this library, but in the future consider using the ones described above. Please let me know if the examples above don't fit your needs.
Refs
The library is trying to be smart and to not add any extra DOM elements to not break your layouts. That's why we use findDOMNode
method to find and attach listeners to the existing DOM elements. Unfortunately, this method has been deprecated and throws a warning in StrictMode.
For those who wants to avoid this warning we are introducing an additional property targetRef
. You have to set this prop as a ref
of your target DOM element and the library will use this reference instead of serching the DOM element with help of findDOMNode
HOC pattern example
import { withResizeDetector } from 'react-resize-detector';
const CustomComponent = ({ width, height, targetRef }) => <div ref={targetRef}>{`${width}x${height}`}</div>;
export default withResizeDetector(CustomComponent);
Child Function Pattern example
import ReactResizeDetector from 'react-resize-detector';
// ...
<ReactResizeDetector handleWidth handleHeight>
{({ width, height, targetRef }) => <div ref={targetRef}>{`${width}x${height}`}</div>}
</ReactResizeDetector>;
API
Prop | Type | Description | Default |
---|---|---|---|
onResize | Func | Function that will be invoked with width and height arguments |
undefined |
handleWidth | Bool | Trigger onResize on width change |
true |
handleHeight | Bool | Trigger onResize on height change |
true |
skipOnMount | Bool | Do not trigger onResize when a component mounts | false |
refreshMode | String | Possible values: throttle and debounce See lodash docs for more information. undefined - callback will be fired for every frame |
undefined |
refreshRate | Number | Use this in conjunction with refreshMode . Important! It's a numeric prop so set it accordingly, e.g. refreshRate={500} |
1000 |
refreshOptions | Object | Use this in conjunction with refreshMode . An object in shape of { leading: bool, trailing: bool } . Please refer to lodash's docs for more info |
undefined |
targetRef | Ref | Use this prop to pass a reference to the element you want to attach resize handlers to. It must be an instance of React.useRef or React.createRef functions |
undefined |
