Simple wrapper for cross-browser usage of the JavaScript Fullscreen API, which lets you bring the page or any element into fullscreen. Smoothens out the browser implementation differences, so you don't have to.
This package is feature complete. No new changes will be accepted.

$ npm install screenfull
Also available on cdnjs.
if (screenfull.enabled) {
screenfull.request();
}document.fullscreenEnabled = document.fullscreenEnabled || document.mozFullScreenEnabled || document.documentElement.webkitRequestFullScreen;
function requestFullscreen(element) {
if (element.requestFullscreen) {
element.requestFullscreen();
} else if (element.mozRequestFullScreen) {
element.mozRequestFullScreen();
} else if (element.webkitRequestFullScreen) {
element.webkitRequestFullScreen(Element.ALLOW_KEYBOARD_INPUT);
}
}
if (document.fullscreenEnabled) {
requestFullscreen(document.documentElement);
}
// Actually it's more if you want it to work in Safari, but let's not go there...Note: In order to use this package in Internet Explorer, you need a Promise polyfill.
iPhone is not supported.
document.getElementById('button').addEventListener('click', () => {
if (screenfull.enabled) {
screenfull.request();
} else {
// Ignore or do something else
}
});const el = document.getElementById('target');
document.getElementById('button').addEventListener('click', () => {
if (screenfull.enabled) {
screenfull.request(el);
}
});const target = $('#target')[0]; // Get DOM element from jQuery collection
$('#button').on('click', () => {
if (screenfull.enabled) {
screenfull.request(target);
}
});$('img').on('click', event => {
if (screenfull.enabled) {
screenfull.toggle(event.target);
}
});if (screenfull.enabled) {
screenfull.on('change', () => {
console.log('Am I fullscreen?', screenfull.isFullscreen ? 'Yes' : 'No');
});
}Remove listeners with:
screenfull.off('change', callback);if (screenfull.enabled) {
screenfull.on('error', event => {
console.error('Failed to enable fullscreen', event);
});

You can use the Angular.js binding to do something like:
<div ngsf-fullscreen>
<p>This is a fullscreen element</p>
<button ngsf-toggle-fullscreen>Toggle fullscreen</button>
</div>import {Directive, HostListener} from '@angular/core';
import screenfull = require('screenfull');
@Directive({
selector: '[toggleFullscreen]'
})
export class ToggleFullscreenDirective {
@HostListener('click') onClick() {
if (screenfull.enabled) {
screenfull.toggle();
}
}
}<button toggleFullscreen>Toggle fullscreen<button>Make an element fullscreen.
Accepts a DOM element. Default is <html>. If called with another element than the currently active, it will switch to that if it's a decendant.
If your page is inside an <iframe> you will need to add a allowfullscreen attribute (+ webkitallowfullscreen and mozallowfullscreen).
Keep in mind that the browser will only enter fullscreen when initiated by user events like click, touch, key.
Returns a promise that resolves after the element enters fullscreen.
Brings you out of fullscreen.
Returns a promise that resolves after the element exits fullscreen.
Requests fullscreen if not active, otherwise exits.
Returns a promise that resolves after the element enters/exits fullscreen.
Events: change error
Add a listener for when the browser switches in and out of fullscreen or when there is an error.
Remove a previously registered event listener.
Alias for .on('change', function)
Alias for .on('error', function)
Returns a boolean whether fullscreen is active.
Returns the element currently in fullscreen, otherwise null.
Returns a boolean whether you are allowed to enter fullscreen. If your page is inside an <iframe> you will need to add a allowfullscreen attribute (+ webkitallowfullscreen and mozallowfullscreen).
Exposes the raw properties (prefixed if needed) used internally: requestFullscreen, exitFullscreen, fullscreenElement, fullscreenEnabled, fullscreenchange, fullscreenerror
That's not supported by browsers for security reasons. There is, however, a dirty workaround. Create a seamless iframe that fills the screen and navigate to the page in that instead.
$('#new-page-btn').click(() => {
const iframe = document.createElement('iframe')
iframe.setAttribute('id', 'external-iframe');
iframe.setAttribute('src', 'http://new-page-website.com');
iframe.setAttribute('frameborder', 'no');
iframe.style.position = 'absolute';
iframe.style.top = '0';
iframe.style.right = '0';
iframe.style.bottom = '0';
iframe.style.left = '0';
iframe.style.width = '100%';
iframe.style.height = '100%';
$(document.body).prepend(iframe);
document.body.style.overflow = 'hidden';
});
