useMediaQuery | NativeBase

useMediaQuery is a custom hook used to help detect whether a single media query or multiple media queries individually match. React Native does not natively support media queries, so useMediaQuery is still limited.

Import

Copy
import { useMediaQuery } from 'native-base';

Example

max-height


Playground
function UseMediaQueryExample() {
  const [isSmaller] = useMediaQuery({
    maxHeight: 512
  });
  return <Text>
      {isSmaller ? 'Height smaller than 512' : 'Height larger than 512'}
    </Text>;
}

function Example() {
  return <NativeBaseProvider>
      <Center flex={1}>
        <UseMediaQueryExample />
      </Center>
    </NativeBaseProvider>;
}function UseMediaQueryExample() {
  const [isSmaller] = useMediaQuery({
    maxHeight: 512
  });
  return <Text>
      {isSmaller ? 'Height smaller than 512' : 'Height larger than 512'}
    </Text>;
}

function Example() {
  return <NativeBaseProvider>
      <Center flex={1}>
        <UseMediaQueryExample />
      </Center>
    </NativeBaseProvider>;
}

min-width


Playground
function UseMediaQueryExample() {
  const [isLargerThan512] = useMediaQuery({
    minWidth: 512
  });
  return <Text>
      {isLargerThan512 ? 'Width larger than 512' : 'Width smaller than 512'}
    </Text>;
}

function Example() {
  return <NativeBaseProvider>
      <Center flex={1}>
        <UseMediaQueryExample />
      </Center>
    </NativeBaseProvider>;
}function UseMediaQueryExample() {
  const [isLargerThan512] = useMediaQuery({
    minWidth: 512
  });
  return <Text>
      {isLargerThan512 ? 'Width larger than 512' : 'Width smaller than 512'}
    </Text>;
}

function Example() {
  return <NativeBaseProvider>
      <Center flex={1}>
        <UseMediaQueryExample />
      </Center>
    </NativeBaseProvider>;
}

orientation


Playground
function UseMediaQueryExample() {
  const [isLandScape, isPortrait] = useMediaQuery([{
    orientation: 'landscape'
  }, {
    orientation: 'portrait'
  }]);
  return <>
      <Text>{`Landscape Mode: ${isLandScape}`}</Text>
      <Text>{`Portrait Mode: ${isPortrait}`}</Text>
    </>;
}

function Example() {
  return <NativeBaseProvider>
      <Center flex={1}>
        <UseMediaQueryExample />
      </Center>
    </NativeBaseProvider>;
}function UseMediaQueryExample() {
  const [isLandScape, isPortrait] = useMediaQuery([{
    orientation: 'landscape'
  }, {
    orientation: 'portrait'
  }]);
  return <>
      <Text>{`Landscape Mode: ${isLandScape}`}</Text>
      <Text>{`Portrait Mode: ${isPortrait}`}</Text>
    </>;
}

function Example() {
  return <NativeBaseProvider>
      <Center flex={1}>
        <UseMediaQueryExample />
      </Center>
    </NativeBaseProvider>;
}

Return value

The useMediaQuery hook returns an array of booleans, indicating whether the given query matches or queries match.

Why an array? useMediaQuery accepts both an object and an array of object, but will always return an array. This way, you can combine multiple media queries which will be individually matched in a single call. The options to use are still limited to maxWidth, minWidth, maxHeight, minHeight, orientation.
