Get viewport window height in ReactJS

Question

How do I get the viewport height in ReactJS  In normal JavaScript I use  window innerHeight     but using ReactJS  I m not sure how to get this information  My understanding is that  ReactDOM findDomNode     only works for components created  However this is not the case for the document or body element  which could give me height of the window

I found a simple combo of QoP and speckledcarp's answer using React Hooks and resizing features, with slightly less lines of code:

const [width, setWidth]   = useState(window.innerWidth);
const [height, setHeight] = useState(window.innerHeight);
const updateDimensions = () => {
    setWidth(window.innerWidth);
    setHeight(window.innerHeight);
}
useEffect(() => {
    window.addEventListener("resize", updateDimensions);
    return () => window.removeEventListener("resize", updateDimensions);
}, []);

Oh yeah make sure that the resize event is in double quotes, not single. That one got me for a bit ;)

You can also try this   constructor props            super props           this state    height  props height  width props width            componentWillMount              console log  WINDOW     window             this setState  height  window innerHeight    px  width window innerWidth  px              render             console log  VIEW     this state

This answer is similar to Jabran Saeed s  except it handles window resizing as well  I got it from here   constructor props      super props     this state     width  0  height  0      this updateWindowDimensions   this updateWindowDimensions bind this      componentDidMount       this updateWindowDimensions      window addEventListener  resize   this updateWindowDimensions      componentWillUnmount       window removeEventListener  resize   this updateWindowDimensions      updateWindowDimensions       this setState   width  window innerWidth  height  window innerHeight

I ve just edited QoP s current answer to support SSR and use it with Next js  React 16 8 0      hooks useWindowDimensions js   import   useState  useEffect   from  react    export default function useWindowDimensions        const hasWindow   typeof window      undefined      function getWindowDimensions         const width   hasWindow   window innerWidth   null      const height   hasWindow   window innerHeight   null      return         width        height                const  windowDimensions  setWindowDimensions    useState getWindowDimensions        useEffect      gt        if  hasWindow          function handleResize             setWindowDimensions getWindowDimensions                    window addEventListener  resize   handleResize         return      gt  window removeEventListener  resize   handleResize               hasWindow       return windowDimensions       yourComponent js   import useWindowDimensions from    hooks useWindowDimensions    const Component        gt      const   height  width     useWindowDimensions         you can also use default values or alias to use only one prop          const   height  windowHeight   480   useWindowDimensions       return        lt div gt        width   width    height   height       lt  div gt

Adding this for diversity and clean approach  This code uses functional style approach  I have used onresize instead of addEventListener as mentioned in other answers  import   useState  useEffect   from  quot react quot    export default function App       const  size  setSize    useState       x  window innerWidth      y  window innerHeight         const updateSize        gt      setSize         x  window innerWidth        y  window innerHeight           useEffect      gt   window onresize   updateSize          return        lt  gt         lt p gt width is    size x  lt  p gt         lt p gt height is    size y  lt  p gt       lt   gt

speckledcarp  s answer is great  but can be tedious if you need this logic in multiple components  You can refactor it as an HOC  higher order component  to make this logic easier to reuse   withWindowDimensions jsx  import React    Component   from  react    export default function withWindowDimensions WrappedComponent        return class extends Component           state     width  0  height  0             componentDidMount                 this updateWindowDimensions                window addEventListener  resize   this updateWindowDimensions                      componentWillUnmount                 window removeEventListener  resize   this updateWindowDimensions                      updateWindowDimensions        gt                this setState   width  window innerWidth  height  window innerHeight                         render                 return                    lt WrappedComponent                         this props                      windowWidth  this state width                      windowHeight  this state height                      isMobileSized  this state width  lt  700                    gt                                      Then in your main component   import withWindowDimensions from    withWindowDimensions jsx    class MyComponent extends Component     render        if this props isMobileSized  return  lt p gt It s short lt  p gt       else return  lt p gt It s not short lt  p gt      export default withWindowDimensions MyComponent     You can also  stack  HOCs if you have another you need to use  e g  withRouter withWindowDimensions MyComponent    Edit  I would go with a React hook nowadays  example above here   as they solve some of the advanced issues with HOCs and classes

just use  useEffect   every change will be logged with current value import React    useEffect   from  react    export function        useEffect      gt        window addEventListener  resize        gt          const myWidth    window innerWidth        console log  my width       myWidth             window      return        lt  gt        enter code here     lt   gt

Using Hooks  React 16 8 0    Create a useWindowDimensions hook   import   useState  useEffect   from  react    function getWindowDimensions       const   innerWidth  width  innerHeight  height     window    return       width      height         export default function useWindowDimensions       const  windowDimensions  setWindowDimensions    useState getWindowDimensions        useEffect      gt        function handleResize           setWindowDimensions getWindowDimensions                window addEventListener  resize   handleResize       return      gt  window removeEventListener  resize   handleResize                return windowDimensions       And after that you ll be able to use it in your components like this  const Component        gt      const   height  width     useWindowDimensions       return        lt div gt        width   width    height   height       lt  div gt           Working example   Original answer  It s the same in React  you can use window innerHeight to get the current viewport s height    As you can see here

I just spent some serious time figuring some things out with React and scrolling events   positions - so for those still looking  here s what I found   The viewport height can be found by using window innerHeight or by using document documentElement clientHeight    Current viewport height   The height of the entire document  body  can be found using window document body offsetHeight   If you re attempting to find the height of the document and know when you ve hit the bottom - here s what I came up with   if  window pageYOffset  gt   this myRefII current clientHeight  amp  amp  Math round  document documentElement scrollTop   window innerHeight    lt  document documentElement scrollHeight - 72            this setState               trueOrNot  true                     else           this setState               trueOrNot  false                              My navbar was 72px in fixed position  thus the -72 to get a better scroll-event trigger   Lastly  here are a number of scroll commands to console log    which helped me figure out my math actively   console log  window inner height     window innerHeight    console log  document Element client hieght     document documentElement clientHeight    console log  document Element scroll hieght     document documentElement scrollHeight    console log  document Element offset height     document documentElement offsetHeight    console log  document element scrolltop     document documentElement scrollTop    console log  window page Y Offset     window pageYOffset    console log  window document body offsetheight     window document body offsetHeight     Whew   Hope it helps someone
