useResponsiveClientValue

import { useResponsiveClientValue } from "reshaped";

When implementing responsive layouts, most of the time you can use responsive syntax in the component properties. For example, you can pass the gap property to the View utility as an object with different values defined for each viewport:

<View gap={{ s: 2, l: 4 }}>

It follows a mobile-first approach, meaning the gap will resolve to 2 for s-m viewports and to 4 for l-xl viewports. However, this approach works only for a limited number of layout properties since it requires additional CSS rules to be pre-built.

If you need the same responsive behavior for other properties or rendered content, you can use the useResponsiveClientValue hook, which works with the same syntax.

function Example() {
  const backgroundColor = useResponsiveClientValue({
    s: "neutral",
    l: "primary",
  });

  return (
    <View
      backgroundColor={backgroundColor}
      height={10}
      width={10}
      borderRadius="medium"
    />
  );
}
  • Note that browser viewport size can be resolved only during client-side rendering. If your product uses server-side rendering, it's recommended to use useResponsiveClientValue only for components rendered on the client.
  • If you have customized your theme viewport tokens, make sure that data-rs-theme is applied during the server-side rendering. Otherwise useResponsiveClientValue won't be able to get access to those values during the first render.
  • During server-side rendering, the value is picked from the defaultViewport property of the Reshaped provider. It uses the s viewport as a default fallback, but you can provide your own value or even add user agent detection to predict the client viewport size.

You can pass a generic to the useResponsiveClientValue call to define the expected type of the passed and resolved values.

const backgroundColor = useResponsiveClientValue<ViewProps["backgroundColor"]>({
  s: "neutral",
  l: "primary",
});
(values: Responsive<Value>) => Value;
