Breakpoints ❺

Detect Webflow breakpoint changes, in code

Overview

Webflow has 7 distinct breakpoints that act as the center of its responsive design methodology throughout the designer and in its published sites.

Not only are all styles tied to breakpoints, but interactions can be as well.

But what about your custom code?

Now, there's a way to do that too.

Use Cases

Manipulate DOM or UX aspects that are beyond the capabilities of pure CSS or styles.
A great example of this is our responsive pagination example that uses our breakpoints library with custom code to update Finsweet's CMS Load APIs.
Reload an IFRAME or other element that cannot adapt responsively across breakpoint changes.

Usage Notes

When you include this library in your site or page, you can easily add a custom code callback to handle events when the breakpoints change.

Here's what that would look like;

<script>
window.sa5 = window.sa5 || [];
window.sa5.push(['breakpointChanged', 
  (name, breakpoint) => {
    console.log("BREAKPOINT", name); 
  }]);
</script>
