iframeify

Turns a div into a faux iframe that can be used to display responsive patterns. Still experimental and has only been tested in a recent version of Chrome

Currently works with the following types of media queries:

• max-width
• min-width
• min-width to max-width

Initialise

Default options:

var options = {
  containerSelector: '.ifr-iframe',
  classPrefix: 'ifr',
  stylesheetClass: false,
  bodyClass: 'ifr-active',
  onWindowResize: false
}

$(document).iframeify(options);

Options

• containerSelector: the classes on your faux iframes
• stylesheetClass: if you only want specific stylesheets to be targeted
• classPrefix: class prefix for dynamically generated elements
• bodyClass: class that is applied to the body when the faux iframe mode is enabled
• onWindowResize: this will trigger a window resize event (this can be used if you control some aspects of the responsiveness by JavaScript, unless you trigger it by checking the window width)

Recommended styling

Use with resize: both; for a great option to resize the faux iframe by dragging it. Note: Limited browser support.

Methods

• unsetQueries: unset all the media queries (use native media queries in css file instead), but keep them saved in the JS object.
• resetQueries: resets and removes all media queries
• destroy: executes unsetQueries, resetQueries and resets the inline styling (width, height etc) on the faux iframes

Examples

Setting predefined sizes

Global controls

$('.ifr-size-selector').click(function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  var iframeWidth = $(this).attr('data-ifr-pre-width');
  var iframeHeight = $(this).attr('data-ifr-pre-height');
  $(document).iframeify('setIframeSize', {
    width: iframeWidth,
    height: iframeHeight
  };
});

Individual controls

$('.ifr-size-selector').click(function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  var iframeWidth = $(this).attr('data-ifr-pre-width');
  var iframeHeight = $(this).attr('data-ifr-pre-height');
  $(document).iframeify('setIframeSize', {
    width: iframeWidth,
    height: iframeHeight
  }, $('#iframe1')); // Target a specific faux iframe
});

Reseting sizes

Global controls

$('.ifr-size-reset').click(function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  $(document).iframeify('resetIframesSize'); // Targets all faux iframes
});

Individual controls

$('.ifr-size-reset-spec').click(function(e) {
  e.preventDefault();
  $(document).iframeify('resetIframesSize', $('#iframe2')); // Target a specific faux iframe
});

Events

Matching media query

The function that matches the faux iframe size to media queries triggers an event, which can be listened to. This could, for example, be used to display the current width and height of the faux iframe.

$(document).on('iframeify.matchMediaQueries', function(e, el) {
  var $el = $(el); // This is the faux iframe
  var iframeWidth = $el.width();
  var iframeHeight = $el.height();
  var $sizeElement = $el.find('.iframe-size');
  $sizeElement.find('.width').text(iframeWidth);
  $sizeElement.find('.height').text(iframeHeight);
});
