Responsive Comments

ResponsiveComments was designed to bring simple conditional loading to the client side. Through the use of HTML comments, markup can be introduced to progressively enhance an experience as various media queries or feature detections evaluate to true. For more information and examples check out responsivecomments.com.

Installation

$ bower install --save responsive-comments

Usage

Media Queries

To get started using ResponsiveComments, add a [data-responsive-comment-media] attribute containing a valid media query to any element containing children that you wish to conditionally load. The ResponsiveComments concept will only work in a progressivelty enhanced experience so make sure you use minimum width media queries.

<div data-responsive-comment-media="(min-width: 769px)">...</div>

The [data-responsive-comment-media] containers should contain one commented-out segment of markup as well as any other HTML they require.

<div data-responsive-comment-media="(min-width: 769px)">
	<!-- <div><p>Any content can go in here</p></div> -->
</div>

Feature Detection

ResponsiveComments also supports feature detection using Modernizr. Make sure you include a Modernizr build with all the tests you need before the ResponsiveComments library. A Modernizr test, or a comma separated list of multiple Modernizr tests, can then be specified in [data-responsive-comments-supports].

<div data-responsive-comment-supports="svg">
	<!-- <div><p>Any content can go in here, including images</p></div> -->
</div>

The [data-responsive-comment-supports] containers should also contain one commented out segment of markup as well as any other HTML they require.

DOM Insertion

The commented out markup inside the ResponsiveComments container will be inserted into the DOM when the specified media query or feature detection passes. Any valid insertAdjacentHTML insertion type can be specified in [data-responsive-comment-insert], valid options are beforebegin, afterbegin, beforeend, afterend with a default of beforeend.

<div data-responsive-comment-insert="afterbegin"
     data-responsive-comment-media="(min-width: 769px)">
	<!-- <div><p>Any content can go in here, including images</p></div> -->
</div>

Events

You can also bind to an event, fired on the element containing the [data-responsive-comment-media] attribute, for added functionality. Use jQuery if you wish or good old vanilla JavaScript.

document.getElementById('respcomm').addEventListener('responsiveComment', function(e) {
    // do something crazy
});

Support

ResponsiveComments is supported across all major web browsers. However, we make use of the window.matchMedia function for testing media queries, this function is fully supported in Internet Explorer 10, but version 9 and down require a polyfill. ResponsiveComments also requires Modernizr for feature detection so ensure a Modernizr build is included with all the required tests.

ResponsiveComments was designed and developed with love at Digital Surgeons.
