ember-responsive

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

Requirements

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

Getting Started

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']
});

Tests

To run the tests, after cloning do:

npm install
npm test
