Overview

The ResizeObserver Polyfill is an innovative solution for developers looking to implement dynamic resizing functionalities in their web applications. Based on the latest Resize Observer specification, this minimal library ensures that resizing is detected instantly, allowing for accurate and timely updates on element dimensions. This enhances the user experience by enabling fluid designs that adapt seamlessly to different screen sizes and orientations.

Designed with performance in mind, the library is fully compatible with browsers that do not support the ResizeObserver natively while offering a fallback option for those that do. As the specifications evolve, this library promises to stay up-to-date, making it a reliable choice for modern web development.

Features

Instant Detection: Immediately detects when an element resizes, providing precise sizing information back to the handler without delay.
Multi-Element Support: Allows you to watch multiple elements at once, making it easier to manage layouts with various components.
Box Size Flexibility: Offers options for different box sizes such as border-box, content-box, and device-pixel-content-box, catering to diverse layout scenarios.
Legacy Compatibility: Maintains a backward-compatible version (contentRect) for users relying on early API versions.
Dynamic Loading: Facilitates improved performance by checking for native support and loading the polyfill only when necessary, using dynamic imports.
Resize Loop Protection: Built-in mechanisms prevent infinite resize loops, ensuring that observations are skipped intelligently to maintain performance.
Efficient Notification Schedule: Notifications are queued after all animations and changes, guaranteeing that observed sizes are accurately reflected in real-time.
Event-Driven Size Detection: Proactively queries the DOM for size changes only when events may cause them, reducing unnecessary performance overhead.
