ember-responsive is an ember-cli addon that give you a simple, Ember-aware way of dealing with media queries.
All you need to do is tell it your application's breakpoints and it'll expose the rest for you. Here is an interactive demo
ember-responsive needs window.matchMedia() to function, which isn't available in all browsers. Compatibility matrix
There is a polyfill by Paul Irish called matchMedia.js that will add support to older browsers
This is an ember-cli addon so, so all you need to do is
npm install --save ember-responsive
After that, simply register the breakpoints that are pertinent to
your application in app/breakpoints.js:
export default {
mobile: '(max-width: 768px)',
tablet: '(min-width: 769px) and (max-width: 992px)',
desktop: '(min-width: 993px) and (max-width: 1200px)',
jumbo: '(min-width: 1201px)',
}
You can then query those breakpoints in your controllers, components, routes, and views:
this.get('media.isMobile'); // => true
Obviously, these properties also propagate to templates:
{{#if media.isDesktop}}
Desktop view!
{{/if}}
You should also bind the list of active media queries to your app's rootElement. This means you won't have to deal with complicated media queries in CSS, instead simply use classes to style the different devices.
App.ApplicationView = Ember.View.extend({
classNameBindings: ['media.classNames']
});
To run the tests, after cloning do:
npm install
npm test
