This is particularly awesome for making embedded stuff, like videos or playlists, scale appropriately within a content area. This can done by hand but it's difficult to maintain, especially with CMS's and multiple editors. Reframe.js solves this issueโperfectly!
Alternatively, noframe.js is provided. Noframe.js scales selected elements at a fixed ratio but does not manipulate the dom's element structure at all! This keeps things like analytic events that run on embedded content intact!
Version 3
Version 3 was released a few days ago. There should be no changes required to use Version 3. However, as the compilation process was completely updated, it felt safer to use 3.0.0โto safegard users from any potential issues.
Updates
- Switched to TypeScript
- Switched Rollup build process
- Code mainly does not mutate
NPM
npm i reframe.js --save
Yarn
yarn add reframe.js
- Add
dist/reframe.js
reframe
the element you'd like to re-frame.
reframe('iframe') // Wrap all iFrames in the page
reframe(document.getElementById('my-frame')) // Pass a DOM element
reframe(document.querySelectorAll('.my-targets')) // Pass a live node list
Elements that have been wrapped with reframe will not be wrapped twice.
Reframe.js wraps a specified element in a div
that is an intrinsic ratio of the original element. This plugin is great for embedded content like iframes
or videos
.
Reframe.js is inspired by FitVids and does what FitVids does but without the need for jQuery
. This makes the plugin highly valuable when including it in a module that has to be very small and with minimal dependencies. Here's a basic codepen example.
This plugin is small - ~1.3kb
unminified and is meant to do 1 thing - wrap elements that aren't responsive and make them responsive. ๐ช
If you'd like to not use the classname 'js-reframe', just use your own.
reframe('iframe', 'my-classname')
Reframe.js works with jQuery or Zepto. As of version 2.0.0, use jquery.reframe.js
for jQuery or Zepto.
$('iframe').reframe()
// While using a custom class name
$('iframe').reframe('my-classname')
Noframe.js makes the same ratio as Reframe.js using css calc.
Noframe.js's doesn't wrap the element you'd like to be responsive. It, instead, does a calculation based on its or a parent element's max-width
. Here's a basic codepen example.
Noframe.js Notes
- The reframed element requires a parent element with a
max width
to scale above the selected elements intial size otherwise the reframed element will only scale below its initial size. ๐
- Add
dist/noframe.js
noframe
the element you'd like to re-frame.
noframe('iframe')
noframe('iframe', 'parent')
Noframe.js works with jQuery or Zepto. As of version 2.0.0, use jquery.noframe.js
for jQuery or Zepto.
$('iframe').noframe()
$('iframe').noframe('parent')
Reframe.js offers the simplest solution to making elements scale at an intrinsic ratio.
Noframe.js doesn't wrap the selected element to make it scale at an intrinsic ratio. Noframe.js is the ideal solution when various events, like tracking events, could be affected when an element is wrapped. It does require a width
or max-width
which can involve a bit more setup awareness.
