react-hook-device-orientation 💫

A React hook for detecting device orientation.

Installation

Using npm:

Using yarn:

Usage

import React from 'react'
import useDeviceOrientation from 'react-hook-device-orientation'

const ComponentWithDeviceOrientation = () => {
  const deviceOrientation = useDeviceOrientation()

  return (
    <ul>
      <li>Alpha:    {orientation.alpha}</li>
      <li>Beta:     {orientation.beta}</li>
      <li>Gamma:    {orientation.gamma}</li>
      <li>Absolute: {orientation.absolute ? 'yes' : 'no'}</li>
    </ul>
  )

Caveats

There are slightly different implementations of the web API responsible for accessing device orientation, and therefore the values you get from this hook might not be consistent across different browsers. Read more about this.
