src-mq

🤓 Lucid breakpoints for JavaScript.

Example

import { from, until } from 'src-mq'

const styles = {
	[from.small]: { ... },

	[until.large]: { ... },

	[from.small.until.large]: { ... },

	[from.small.until.large.for.screen]: { ... },
}

Tagged templates

To use src-mq in a tagged template, you will need to explicitly call it as a function.

For example, this is how you would use it with Emotion's css:

import { from, until } from 'src-mq'
import css from 'emotion'

const className = css`
	${from.small()} { ... },

	${until.large()} { ... },

	${from.small.until.large()} { ... },

	${from.small.until.large.for.screen()} { ... },
`

API

from<breakpoint>

• the specified media type

/* {[until.large.for.screen]: { ... }} */

Defaults

src-mq provides a reasonable set of defaults:

Media type

all

Breakpoints

• xxSmall (320 pixels)
• xSmall (375 pixels)
• small (480 pixels)
• medium (740 pixels)
• large (980 pixels)
• xLarge (1140 pixels)
• xxLarge (1300 pixels)

Breakpoint pixel values are converted ems in the CSS, assuming 1em = 16px.

Overriding breakpoints

The default breakpoints can be replaced, extended or restored:

import { setBreakpoints, extendBreakpoints, resetBreakpoints } from 'src-mq'

// Breakpoints are the default set:
//
// 	- xxSmall (320 pixels)
// 	- xSmall (375 pixels)
// 	- small (480 pixels)
// 	- medium (740 pixels)
// 	- large (980 pixels)
// 	- xLarge (1140 pixels)
// 	- xxLarge (1300 pixels)
//
// You can do [from.small.until.medium] etc.

setBreakpoints({ tiny: 1, massive: 10000000 })

// Breakpoints have been replaced:
//
// 	- tiny (1 pixel)
// 	- massive (10000000 pixels)
//
// Now you can do [from.tiny.until.massive],
// but not [from.small.until.medium] etc.

extendBreakpoints({ infinitesimal: 0.00000001 })

// Breakpoints have been extended:
//
// 	- infinitesimal (0.00000001 pixels)
// 	- tiny (1 pixel)
// 	- massive (10000000 pixels)
//
// Now you can do [from.infinitesimal.until.massive] etc.

resetBreakpoints()

// Breakpoints have been restored to the default set:
//
// 	- xxSmall (320 pixels)
// 	- xSmall (375 pixels)
// 	- small (480 pixels)
// 	- medium (740 pixels)
// 	- large (980 pixels)
// 	- xLarge (1140 pixels)
// 	- xxLarge (1300 pixels)
//
// Now you can do [from.small.until.medium],
// but not [from.tiny.until.massive] etc.

Complex queries

By design, src-mq is limited to media type and min/max-width feature expressions.

To generate more complex queries than this, you can concatenate its output with any other valid feature expressions, for example:

/* {[from.small.for.screen + " and (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)"]: { ... }} */

@media screen and (min-width: 30em) and (max-width: none) and (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce) { ... }

Acknowledgements

src-mq is heavily inspired by sass-mq.

It's extracted from work originally done at the Guardian and that is now being rolled into their Source Design System.

Hence the name 💃.
