useMediaQuery

Specification

Returns a boolean verdict whether device matches the given media query Object.

Definition

type UseMediaQuery = (breakpoint: Breakpoint, initialMatches?: boolean) => boolean
Please see the Breakpoints page for the Breakpoint type reference:

Example

import React from 'react'
import { useMediaQuery } from 'atomic-layout'
export const Component = () => {
const isSmallScreen = useMediaQuery({ maxWidth: 450 })
return isSmallScreen ? <p>On mobile</p> : <p>On larger screens</p>
}

Using initial match

The hook resolves to false upon initial render. To change that behavior pass the initial value as the second argument to the hook:
import React from 'react'
import { useMediaQuery } from 'atomic-layout'
export const Component = () => {
const isPortrait = useMediaQuery({ orientation: 'portrait' }, true)
return <AnotherComponent isPortrait={isPortrait} />
}
