With Hooks
Hooks is a new feature available in 8.0.0!
import React from 'react'
import { useMediaQuery } from 'react-responsive'
const Example = () => {
const isDesktopOrLaptop = useMediaQuery({
query: '(min-width: 1224px)'
})
const isBigScreen = useMediaQuery({ query: '(min-width: 1824px)' })
const isTabletOrMobile = useMediaQuery({ query: '(max-width: 1224px)' })
const isPortrait = useMediaQuery({ query: '(orientation: portrait)' })
const isRetina = useMediaQuery({ query: '(min-resolution: 2dppx)' })
return (
<div>
<h1>Device Test!</h1>
{isDesktopOrLaptop && <p>You are a desktop or laptop</p>}
{isBigScreen && <p>You have a huge screen</p>}
{isTabletOrMobile && <p>You are a tablet or mobile phone</p>}
<p>Your are in {isPortrait ? 'portrait' : 'landscape'} orientation</p>
{isRetina && <p>You are retina</p>}
</div>
)
}With Components
import MediaQuery from 'react-responsive'
const Example = () => (
<div>
<h1>Device Test!</h1>
<MediaQuery minWidth={1224}>
<p>You are a desktop or laptop</p>
<MediaQuery minWidth={1824}>
<p>You also have a huge screen</p>
</MediaQuery>
</MediaQuery>
<MediaQuery minResolution="2dppx">
{/* You can also use a function (render prop) as a child */}
{(matches) =>
matches ? <p>You are retina</p> : <p>You are not retina</p>
}
</MediaQuery>
</div>

Using Properties
To make things more idiomatic to react, you can use camel-cased shorthands to construct media queries.
For a list of all possible shorthands and value types see https://github.com/contra/react-responsive/blob/master/src/mediaQuery.ts#L9.
Any numbers given as shorthand will be expanded to px (1234 will become '1234px').
The CSS media queries in the example above could be constructed like this:
import React from 'react'
import { useMediaQuery } from 'react-responsive'
const Example = () => {
const isDesktopOrLaptop = useMediaQuery({ minWidth: 1224 })
const isBigScreen = useMediaQuery({ minWidth: 1824 })
const isTabletOrMobile = useMediaQuery({ maxWidth: 1224 })
const isPortrait = useMediaQuery({ orientation: 'portrait' })
const isRetina = useMediaQuery({ minResolution: '2dppx' })
return <div>...</div>
}Forcing a device with the device prop
At times you may need to render components with different device settings than what gets automatically detected. This is especially useful in a Node environment where these settings can't be detected (SSR) or for testing.
Possible Keys
orientation, scan, aspectRatio, deviceAspectRatio,
height, deviceHeight, width, deviceWidth, color, colorIndex, monochrome,
resolution and type
Possible Types
type can be one of: all, grid, aural, braille, handheld, print, projection,
screen, tty, tv or embossed
Note: The device property always applies, even when it can be detected (where window.matchMedia exists).
import { useMediaQuery } from 'react-responsive'
const Example = () => {
const isDesktopOrLaptop = useMediaQuery(
{ minDeviceWidth: 1224 },
{ deviceWidth: 1600 } // `device` prop
)
return (
<div>
{isDesktopOrLaptop && (
<p>
this will always get rendered even if device is shorter than 1224px,
that's because we overrode device settings with 'deviceWidth: 1600'.
</p>
)}
</div>
)
}Supplying through Context
You can also pass device to every useMediaQuery hook in the components tree through a React Context.
This should ease up server-side-rendering and testing in a Node environment, e.g:
Server-Side Rendering
import { Context as ResponsiveContext } from 'react-responsive'
import { renderToString } from 'react-dom/server'
import App from './App'
...
// Context is just a regular React Context component, it accepts a `value` prop to be passed to consuming components
const mobileApp = renderToString(
<ResponsiveContext.Provider value={{ width: 500 }}>
<App />
</ResponsiveContext.Provider>
)
...If you use next.js, structure your import like this to disable server-side rendering for components that use this library:
import dynamic from "next/dynamic"
const MediaQuery = dynamic(() => import("react-responsive"), {
ssr: false
})Testing
import { Context as ResponsiveContext } from 'react-responsive'
import { render } from '@testing-library/react'
import ProductsListing from './ProductsListing'
describe('ProductsListing', () => {
test('matches the snapshot', () => {
const { container: mobile } = render(
<ResponsiveContext.Provider value={{ width: 300 }}>
<ProductsListing />
</ResponsiveContext.Provider>
)
expect(mobile).toMatchSnapshot()
const { container: desktop } = render(
<ResponsiveContext.Provider value={{ width: 1000 }}>
<ProductsListing />
</ResponsiveContext.Provider>
)
expect(desktop).toMatchSnapshot()
})
})Note that if anything has a device prop passed in it will take precedence over the one from context.
onChange
You can use the onChange callback to specify a change handler that will be called when the media query's value changes.
import React from 'react'
import { useMediaQuery } from 'react-responsive'
const Example = () => {
const handleMediaQueryChange = (matches) => {
// matches will be true or false based on the value for the media query
}
const isDesktopOrLaptop = useMediaQuery(
{ minWidth: 1224 },
undefined,
handleMediaQueryChange
)
return <div>...</div>
}import React from 'react'
import MediaQuery from 'react-responsive'
const Example = () => {
const handleMediaQueryChange = (matches) => {
// matches will be true or false based on the value for the media query
}
return (
<MediaQuery minWidth={1224} onChange={handleMediaQueryChange}>
...
</MediaQuery>
)
}Easy Mode
That's it! Now you can create your application specific breakpoints and reuse them easily. Here is an example:
import { useMediaQuery } from 'react-responsive'
const Desktop = ({ children }) => {
const isDesktop = useMediaQuery({ minWidth: 992 })
return isDesktop ? children : null
}
const Tablet = ({ children }) => {
const isTablet = useMediaQuery({ minWidth: 768, maxWidth: 991 })
return isTablet ? children : null
}
const Mobile = ({ children }) => {
const isMobile = useMediaQuery({ maxWidth: 767 })
return isMobile ? children : null
}
const Default = ({ children }) => {
const isNotMobile = useMediaQuery({ minWidth: 768 })
return isNotMobile ? children : null
}
const Example = () => (
<div>
<Desktop>Desktop or laptop</Desktop>
<Tablet>Tablet</Tablet>
<Mobile>Mobile</Mobile>
<Default>Not mobile (desktop or laptop or tablet)</Default>
</div>
)
export default ExampleAnd if you want a combo (the DRY way):
import { useMediaQuery } from 'react-responsive'
const useDesktopMediaQuery = () =>
useMediaQuery({ query: '(min-width: 1280px)' })
const useTabletAndBelowMediaQuery = () =>
useMediaQuery({ query: '(max-width: 1279px)' })
const Desktop = ({ children }) => {
const isDesktop = useDesktopMediaQuery()
return isDesktop ? children : null
}
const TabletAndBelow = ({ children }) => {
const isTabletAndBelow = useTabletAndBelowMediaQuery()
return isTabletAndBelow ? children : null
