Usage

Let's say that you want to hide certain elements in touchscreen devices. You can use pointer-coarse variant to detect whether the device is a touch-based device or not.

<button class="pointer-coarse:hidden">
  Look ma! I can't be touched!
</button>

However, you realized that this isn't what you want. What you really want is detecting whether the device has at least one touch inputs. In this case, you can use the pointer-any-coarse instead

<button class="pointer-coarse:hidden">
  Look ma! I can't be touched by those touch devices!
</button>

Classes

Below are the list of variant that this plugin generates:

Class Variant	Usage	Media Query
pointer-none	Fulfilled when the device doesn't have any pointer device, such as keyboard-only interfaces	@media (pointer: none)
pointer-coarse	Fulfilled when the device primary input mechanism is a pointer with limited accuracy, such as touchscreens for mobile devices	@media (pointer: coarse)
pointer-fine	Fulfilled when the device primary input mechanism is a pointer with high accuracy, such as mouse and pen	@media (pointer: coarse)
pointer-any-coarse	Fulfilled when the device have at least one pointer input mechanism with limited accuracy, such as touchscreens for mobile devices	@media (any-pointer: coarse)
