Advanced tools
React hooks for updating components when the size of the `window` changes.
@react-hook/window-size is a React hook that allows you to easily get the current window size and respond to window resize events. It provides a simple API to access the width and height of the window, making it useful for responsive design and dynamic layout adjustments.
Get Window Size
This feature allows you to get the current width and height of the window. The `useWindowSize` hook returns an array with the width and height, which you can use to render responsive components.
import { useWindowSize } from '@react-hook/window-size';
function MyComponent() {
const [width, height] = useWindowSize();
return (
<div>
<p>Window width: {width}px</p>
<p>Window height: {height}px</p>
</div>
);
}Custom Throttle
This feature allows you to throttle the resize event updates. By passing a number to `useWindowSize`, you can control how often the window size is updated, which can improve performance by reducing the frequency of re-renders.
import { useWindowSize } from '@react-hook/window-size';
function MyComponent() {
const [width, height] = useWindowSize(250); // Throttle updates every 250ms
return (
<div>
<p>Window width: {width}px</p>
<p>Window height: {height}px</p>
</div>
);
}react-use is a collection of essential React hooks, including a `useWindowSize` hook. It provides similar functionality to @react-hook/window-size but also includes a wide variety of other hooks for different use cases, making it a more comprehensive solution for managing state and side effects in React applications.
react-responsive is a package that allows you to create media query components in React. While it doesn't provide a direct hook for window size, it offers a more declarative approach to handling responsive design by allowing you to define breakpoints and render different components based on the current viewport size.
use-resize-observer is a React hook that uses the ResizeObserver API to track the size of a DOM element. While it is more focused on element size rather than window size, it can be used to achieve similar results by observing the document's root element. It provides more granular control over resizing behavior compared to @react-hook/window-size.
npm i @react-hook/window-size
React hooks for updating components when the size or orientation of the window
changes. These hooks come in two forms: debounced
using useDebounce()
and throttled using useThrottle().
Check out the example on CodeSandbox
//
// Debounced values
import {
useWindowSize,
useWindowWidth,
useWindowHeight,
} from '@react-hook/window-size'
const Component = props => {
const [width, height] = useWindowSize()
const onlyWidth = useWindowWidth()
const onlyHeight = useWindowHeight()
}
//
// Throttled values
import {
useWindowSize,
useWindowWidth,
useWindowHeight,
} from '@react-hook/window-size/throttled'
const Component = props => {
const [width, height] = useWindowSize()
const onlyWidth = useWindowWidth()
const onlyHeight = useWindowHeight()
}
A hook that returns the current width and height of the window. This hook is debounced, meaning it will wait (100ms by default) for the resize events to stop firing before it actually updates its state with the new width and height.
| Type | Required? | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|
| options | DebouncedWindowSizeOptions | No | Options for configuring the hook. See DebouncedWindowSizeOptions below. |
| Key | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| wait | number | 100 | The amount of time in ms you want to wait after the latest resize event before updating the size of the window in state. |
| leading | boolean | false | When true, updates the size of the window on the leading edge (right away) in addition to debouncing any additional events. |
| initialWidth | number | 0 | The initial width to use when there is no window object, e.g. SSR |
| initialHeight | number | 0 | The initial height to use when there is no window object, e.g. SSR |
[width: number, height: number]| Type | Description | |
|---|---|---|
| width | number | The current clientWidth of the window |

To use these throttled hooks instead of debounced hooks, import with import {...} from '@react-hook/window-size/throttled
A hook that returns the current width and height of the window. This hook is throttled, meaning it will only update its state at most 30fps (by default, configuration below) with the new width and height of the window. It will always update at the trailing edge, so you don't have to worry about not having the correct width or height after the window is finished resizing. It will also update at the leading edge if configured to do so.
