Installation

Get library via npm

npm install @ssv/ngx.ux

Choose the version corresponding to your Angular version:

Angular	library
15	2.x+
4 to 9	1.x+

Features

• Viewport (see below)
  • Viewport Data

Usage

Register module

import { SsvUxModule } from "@ssv/ngx.ux";

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    SsvUxModule
  ]
}
export class AppModule {
}

Viewport

Provides utilities to handle responsiveness easier based on the viewport (view size)

Comparison Operands

Operand	Description
=	Equals
<>	Not equals
<	Less than
<=	Less than or equal
>	Greater than
>=	Greater Than or equal

Size Types

These are the defaults, but they are configurable.

Size Type	Size Range
xsmall	<=450
small	451-767
medium	768-992
large	993-1280
fhd	1281-1920
qhd	1921-2560
uhd4k	2561-3840
uhd8k	>=3841

Viewport Matcher Attribute (directive)

Structural directive which loads components based on a viewport sizing condition e.g. show ONLY if viewport is greater than xlarge.

Examples

<!-- simple -->
<div *ssvViewportMatcher="'large'">
  show only when large
</div>

<!-- expression based - tuple (shorthand) *recommended usage* -->
<div *ssvViewportMatcher="['>=', 'xlarge']"> (see all operands and sizes)
  show when >= xlarge
</div>

<!-- expression based - object -->
<div *ssvViewportMatcher="{size: 'xlarge', operation: '<='}"> (see all operands and sizes)
  show when >= xlarge
</div>

<!-- includes -->
<div *ssvViewportMatcher="['large', 'xlarge']">
  show only when large, xlarge
</div>

<!-- excludes -->
<div *ssvViewportMatcher="''; exclude ['xsmall', 'small']">
  hide only when xsmall, small
</div>

<!-- match/else -->
<div *ssvViewportMatcher="['>=', 'xlarge']; else otherwise">
  show when >= xlarge
</div>

<ng-template #otherwise>
  show when expression is falsy (< xlarge)
</ng-template>

<!-- non structure syntax -->
<ng-template ssvViewportMatcher [ssvViewportMatcherExclude]="'xsmall'">
    (exclude xsmall)
</ng-template>

Viewport Matcher Var (directive)

Structural directive which provides the condition var whether it matches or not (params are similar to ssvViewportMatcher).

<!-- simple -->
<div *ssvViewportMatcherVar="let isLarge when 'large'">
  isLarge={{isLarge}}
</div>

<!-- expression based - tuple (shorthand) *recommended usage* -->
<div *ssvViewportMatcherVar="let isMediumDown when ['<=', 'medium']">
  isMediumDown={{isMediumDown}}
</div>

<!-- includes/or -->
<div *ssvViewportMatcherVar="let isLargeOrSmall when ['small', 'large']">
  isLargeOrSmall={{isLargeOrSmall}}
</div>

Viewport Service

// get size type
this.viewport.sizeType$.pipe(
    tap(x => console.log("Viewport - sizeType changed", x)), // { type: 4, name: "xlarge", widthThreshold: 1500 }
  ).subscribe();

Viewport for SSR

Since in SSR there is no way to know the client viewport size, we should at least determine device type and handle provide 3 different sizes based on device type e.g. mobile, tablet or desktop so the initial rendering will be closer based on device type.

The basic implementation allows to provide a device type mobile, tablet or desktop and there are static sizes for those.

import { UX_VIEWPORT_SSR_DEVICE } from "@ssv/ngx.ux";

const deviceType = deviceTypeFromServer;
{ provide: UX_VIEWPORT_SSR_DEVICE, useValue: deviceType },

The default implementation can also be replaced by implementing a small class as following:

export class SuperViewportServerSizeService {
  get(): ViewportSize {
    // do your magic..
    return size;
  }
}

import { ViewportServerSizeService } from "@ssv/ngx.ux";

@NgModule( {
  providers: [
    { provide: ViewportServerSizeService, useClass: SuperViewportServerSizeService }
  ]
}) export class AppModule {
}

Configure

You can configure the existing resize polling speed and as well as provide your custom breakpoints.

Custom Breakpoints

import { SsvUxModule, generateViewportSizeType } from "@ssv/ngx.ux";

const breakpoints = { // custom breakpoints - key/width
  smallest: 500,
  small: 700,
  medium: 1000,
  large: 1400,
  extralarge: 1600,
  xxlarge: 1800,
  fhd: 1920,
  uhd: 3840
};

  imports: [
    SsvUxModule.forRoot({
      viewport: {
        resizePollingSpeed: 66, // optional - defaults to 33
        breakpoints // provide the custom breakpoints
      }
    }),
  ],

Override existing Breakpoints

import { SsvUxModule, UX_VIEWPORT_DEFAULT_BREAKPOINTS } from "@ssv/ngx.ux";

  imports: [
    SsvUxModule.forRoot({
      viewport: {
        breakpoints: {
          ...UX_VIEWPORT_DEFAULT_BREAKPOINTS, // use breakpoints provided with library
          xxlarge1: 2000, // override xxlarge1
          uhd: 3840 // add new breakpoint
        }
      }
    }),
  ],
