Angular window resize event
I know this was asked a long time ago, but there is a better way to do this now! I'm not sure if anyone will see this answer though. Obviously your imports:
import { fromEvent, Observable, Subscription } from "rxjs";
Then in your component:
resizeObservable$: Observable<Event>
resizeSubscription$: Subscription
ngOnInit() {
this.resizeObservable$ = fromEvent(window, 'resize')
this.resizeSubscription$ = this.resizeObservable$.subscribe( evt => {
console.log('event: ', evt)
})
}
Then be sure to unsubscribe on destroy!
ngOnDestroy() {
this.resizeSubscription$.unsubscribe()
}
<div (window:resize)="onResize($event)"
onResize(event) {
event.target.innerWidth;
}
or using the HostListener decorator:
@HostListener('window:resize', ['$event'])
onResize(event) {
event.target.innerWidth;
}
Supported global targets are window
, document
, and body
.
Until https://github.com/angular/angular/issues/13248 is implemented in Angular it is better for performance to subscribe to DOM events imperatively and use RXJS to reduce the amount of events as shown in some of the other answers.
