Installation

To install, you can use npm or yarn.

$ npm install react-window-sizer
$ yarn add react-window-sizer

Usage

The WindowSizer component has one required prop:

• children which must be a function that this component will inject the browser's dimensions into.

Example:

<WindowSizer>
  {({height, width}) => (
    <SomeComponent style={{height, width}} />
  )}
</WindowSizer>

Optimizing the resize event

You can optimize the resize handler by specifying whether or not to throttle or debounce it through the optimizeBy prop.

The component defaults to not optimize, but you can opt in by passing in a string value of either 'debounce' or 'throttle'.

This can be more fine-tuned by also specifying a wait duration through the optimizeEvery prop. This throttles the handler's invocation in milliseconds.

Example:

<WindowSizer optimizeBy="debounce" optimizeEvery={300}>
  {({height, width}) => (
    <SomeComponent style={{height, width}} />
  )}
</WindowSizer>

This will debounce the resize event handler every 300ms.

Resize event callback

You can pass in a callback that will be invoked whenever the resize event handler is called through the onResize prop.

The original event object and the browser's current window dimensions are passed to the callback.

Example:

function handleResize(e, dimensions) {
  // ...do something
}

<WindowSizer onResize={handleResize}>
  {({height, width}) => (
    <SomeComponent style={{height, width}} />
  )}
</WindowSizer>
