Have multiple handlers on the same query fire asap. about enquire.js HOT 3 CLOSED

Hey Stefan!

Have you just tried calling listen ahead of any registration? If enquire is listening, each time a handler is added, providing the query matches, it's match callback will be fired immediately.

See this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/KjtRD/3/

I meant fire to be used for fine grained control but it seems 99.9% of the time people just use listen (as it reacts to future changes, rather than just assessing state at current point in time). In the upcoming version of enquire i've dropped both of these methods to simplify the API and make life easier for everyone. In this upcoming version it should always work as expected, no more silly edge cases like this one :)

If you're happy with the results of the fiddle above let me know and i'll close the issue

Hah!
That's exactly what I wanted. Thanks for the quick reply! Good ideas on simplifying the API. Just might need to update the documentation and maybe add this use case there for good measure :)

Have a great one!

No problems :)

Don't worry, updating the docs is taking infinitely longer than the coding, I've been slowly working on it for a long while. If you'd like to test out enquire v2, take a look at the experimental branch.

The differences are no more fire or listen, and that (internally) it doesn't use resize events any more, instead relying entirely on the matchMedia API. This means it should perform better, and that it's even smaller than before :) However it does mean you may have to supply to a matchMedia.addListener polyfill also (which can be found in the matchMedia polyfill repo).
