Conditional rendering based on the viewport size

    How do I set an element to not render when the viewport is below 600px? I have been looking everywhere for this solution.

    Use breakpoint and display: none

    Unless you need more options then custom action I think 🤔

    You lost me 😅
  • I dont want to use display:none because you still render the component or element in the background. I want it to just not render at all

    I’ll need to double check the actions tree. I think I needed something like this when I was starting but I just used a custom action to return true/false if below a certain viewport and I used that for the variable

    I could look for the function if it would be helpful but now I’m trying to think if there’s toddle actions for it 🤔 don’t recall

    but hmm, I guess I should think differently than making two components

  • jaxwedel-1262851435486511204

    well, I am hiding the desktop menu and showing the mobile hamburger menu below 600px. And for that I have to make to components

    a menu doesnt hurt to do two components rendered, but - later if there is a heavy components with API calls etc - it can double usage

    I see. And how did you connect the Action?

  • 1262856285443985418-image.png
  • function viewportWidth () {
     return window.innerWidth
    }
  • Something to note, this just returns true/false onLoad
  • It doesn't update dynamically
  • I have to check where the one I rewrote is lol

    You can create a custom action for it it instead, that fires an event when the viewport changes

    Sorry, got caught up in something
  • This is what I ultimately used
  • 1262864964436103208-image.png
    🔥1
  • Custom action
  • function viewportWidth (args, ctx) {
     window.addEventListener('resize', function(){
     const isBelowThreshold = window.innerWidth < args.width;
     ctx.triggerActionEvent('isBelow', isBelowThreshold)
     });
    }
  • Set it onload
  • 1262865153951666347-image.png
  • isBelow returns true/false if it is below the number you enter

    Sounds like you got it
  • For now, this is probably the way to do it unless 'display: none' is acceptable or if toddle team releases more native actions around viewport

    Hey @Lucas G ! How to check if the custom action actually works?
    Because I created that action and event (on load and on attribute change), and it doesn't seem to detect the viewport

    The function works. You can log the event to console
  • There is an action for it which you can fire on the event flow

    Hey guys, I hope you're fine!
    I followed the code provided by Lucas, but still have issues to make it working.

    how can I get the event "isBelow" data back ?

    Thanks a lot

    In this case true or false is going to be the event in the toddle workflow

    Thanks, it's working fine. But the false value is "undefined" and the true is a boolean as excepted.
    I made a string return in order to make it working fine.
