A lightweight jQuery plugin that dynamically adds CSS classes to the html tag
A lightweight jQuery plugin that dynamically adds CSS classes to the <html> tag based on the device type, operating system, screen size, orientation, browser, internet connection, time of day, color scheme preference, and pixel density. This helps create responsive and adaptive designs easily.
The plugin automatically detects and adds classes for:
device-mobile or device-desktopos-windows, os-macos, os-linux, os-android, os-ioswidth-xs, width-sm, width-md, width-lg, width-xlorientation-portrait or orientation-landscapebrowser-chrome, browser-firefox, browser-safari, browser-edgestatus-online or status-offlinetime-morning, time-afternoon, time-evening, time-nightprefers-dark-mode or prefers-light-modepixel-ratio-1x, pixel-ratio-2x, or pixel-ratio-3xInclude jQuery in your project (if not already included):
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.6.0.min.js"></script>
Include the plugin script (choose between the full or minified version):
<script src="path/to/jquery.detect-environment.js"></script>
<script src="path/to/jquery.detect-environment.min.js"></script>
The plugin initializes automatically when the document is ready and dynamically adds classes to the <html> tag. It also listens for window resize, orientation change, and network connection events to update classes in real-time.
$(document).ready(function() {
$('html').detectEnvironment();
});
The classes added to <html> will update automatically, so you can use them directly in your CSS for responsive and adaptive design.
With this plugin, the <html> tag might look like:
<html class="device-desktop os-windows width-lg orientation-landscape browser-chrome status-online time-afternoon prefers-light-mode pixel-ratio-2x">...</html>
Here are some sample classes and what they represent:
The plugin listens for the following events to update classes dynamically:
