Modernizr
Modernizr is a JavaScript library that detects HTML5 and CSS3 features in the user’s browser.
Modernizr tests which native CSS3 and HTML5 features are available in the current UA and makes the results available to you in two ways: as properties on a global Modernizr
object, and as classes on the <html>
element. This information allows you to progressively enhance your pages with a granular level of control over the experience.
This project adheres to the Open Code of Conduct. By participating, you are expected to honor this code.
New Asynchronous Event Listeners
Often times people want to know when an asynchronous test is done so they can allow their application to react to it.
In the past, you've had to rely on watching properties or <html>
classes. Only events on asynchronous tests are
supported. Synchronous tests should be handled synchronously to improve speed and to maintain consistency.
The new API looks like this:
// Listen to a test, give it a callback
Modernizr.on('testname', function( result ) {
if (result) {
console.log('The test passed!');
}
else {
console.log('The test failed!');
}
});
We guarantee that we'll only invoke your function once (per time that you call on
). We are currently not exposing
a method for exposing the trigger
functionality. Instead, if you'd like to have control over async tests, use the
src/addTest
feature, and any test that you set will automatically expose and trigger the on
functionality.
Getting Started
- Clone or download the repository
- Install project dependencies with
npm install
Test suite
Run the test suite
Building Modernizr v3
To generate everything in 'config-all.json':
npm install
./bin/modernizr -c lib/config-all.json
//outputs to ./modernizr.js
To run tests (in phantom):
grunt test
To run tests (in browser):
grunt build
serve .
visit <url>/test
To see simple build in browser:
serve the root dir, <url>/test/modular.html
To see the build tool:
- checkout the modernizr.com code
- install all your gems and bundles and jekyll
jekyll
serve ./_sites
- visit /download
- It should be just a big list of things you can build with no frills.
API Reference
Modernizr can be used programmatically via npm:
var modernizr = require("modernizr");
Building
A build
method is exposed for generating custom Modernizr builds. Example:
var modernizr = require("modernizr");
modernizr.build({}, function (result) {
console.log(result); // the build
});
The first parameter takes a JSON object of options and feature-detects to include. See lib/config-all.json
for all available options.
The second parameter is a function invoked on task completion.
