desktop-viewport

Hastily makes desktop browsers respect the viewport setting so they'll scale up and down everything to a given window size

Usage (browser)

Grab the latest release and drop it in as a script tag.

Just add it to your page, wrap everything on a div id'd #container and have a viewport tag on <head>. Check test/index.html for an example!!

Usage (webpack+babel)

Grab the code from here or npm

npm install desktop-viewport --save

#or#

git checkout git@github.com:walaura/desktop-viewport.git
npm install

& then

import desktopViewport from 'desktop-viewport';
desktopViewport();

Usage

desktop-viewport will attach itself on load, you don't have to do anything. However there's extra work for you if you are checking the scroll position via javascript or having dynamically sized elements.

  • If you are checking the scroll position per element you must multiply it by desktopViewport.scaleMultiplier to get the real scroll position
  • If your page height changes you must call desktopViewport.rescale() for the container to resize itself

API

window.desktopViewport (or the object returned by the webpack module) has several useful properties such as

desktopViewport.scaleMultiplier
number containing the scale of the current page

desktopViewport.rescale()
rescale the viewport and calculate the height again.
you can pass in a parameter with a new viewport width

desktopViewport.init()
if you aren't autoloading you
must call this for anything to happen

Options

You can pass options to desktopViewport either on the function initializer (webpack) or by creating a window.desktopViewportSettings object before loading desktop-viewport.min.js (browser)

window.desktopViewportSettings = {
    container: '#container',
    /*css selector for the container element*/
    viewport: 'viewport',
    /*viewport width. number or 'viewport' to autodetect it*/
    autoLoad: true
    /*automatically bind it on pageload*/
}
