This is a simple wrapper around matchMedia to run code on entry and exit from media queries. It also uses browser resize as a fallback for browsers that don't support matchMedia.

Demo

There are two examples here: http://sparkbox.github.io/mediaCheck/

media

Type: string

This is the mediaquery that will trigger the specified action. It should be in the form:

• (min-width: 420px)
• (min-width: 35em)
• (max-width: 800px)
• (max-width: 60em)

entry

Type: function

This function will execute once when the mediaquery becomes active.

exit

Type: function

This function will execute once when the mediaquery becomes inactive.

both

Type: function

This function will execute once when the mediaquery changes state.

Usage Example:

mediaCheck({
  media: '(max-width: 420px)',
  entry: function() {
    console.log('starting 420');
  },
  exit: function() {
    console.log('leaving 420');
  },
  both: function() {
    console.log('changing state');
  }
});

    only work on exit, but not entry.

  • Drop support for IE < 10
• 0.4.6
  • You can now pass combined mediaqueries e.g. (min-width: 320px) and (max-width: 800px)
