Simple wrapper for cross-browser usage of the JavaScript Fullscreen API, which lets you bring the page or any element into fullscreen. Smoothens out the browser implementation differences, so you don't have to.

This package is ESM. Please familiarize yourself with what that implies.
If you cannot use ESM or need to support older browsers without using transpilation, use version 5.2.0.

This package is feature complete. No new features will be accepted.

Demo

Install

Only 0.7 kB gzipped.

npm install screenfull

Also available on cdnjs (older version).

Why?

Screenfull

import screenfull from 'screenfull';
if (screenfull.isEnabled) {
	screenfull.request();
}

Vanilla JavaScript

document.fullscreenEnabled =
	document.fullscreenEnabled ||
	document.mozFullScreenEnabled ||
	document.documentElement.webkitRequestFullScreen;
function requestFullscreen(element) {
	if (element.requestFullscreen) {
		element.requestFullscreen();
	} else if (element.mozRequestFullScreen) {
		element.mozRequestFullScreen();
	} else if (element.webkitRequestFullScreen) {
		element.webkitRequestFullScreen(Element.ALLOW_KEYBOARD_INPUT);
	}
}
if (document.fullscreenEnabled) {
	requestFullscreen(document.documentElement);
}
// This is not even entirely comprehensive. There's more.

Support

Supported browsers

Note: Safari is supported on desktop and iPad, but not on iPhone. This is a limitation in the browser, not in Screenfull.

Examples

Fullscreen the page

import screenfull from 'screenfull';
document.getElementById('button').addEventListener('click', () => {
	if (screenfull.isEnabled) {
		screenfull.request();
	} else {
		// Ignore or do something else
	}
});

Fullscreen an element

import screenfull from 'screenfull';
const element = document.getElementById('target');
document.getElementById('button').addEventListener('click', () => {
	if (screenfull.isEnabled) {
		screenfull.request(element);
	}
});

Hide navigation user-interface on mobile devices

import screenfull from 'screenfull';
const element = document.getElementById('target');
document.getElementById('button').addEventListener('click', () => {
	if (screenfull.isEnabled) {
		screenfull.request(element, {navigationUI: 'hide'});
	}
});

Fullscreen an element with jQuery

import screenfull from 'screenfull';
const element = $('#target')[0]; // Get DOM element from jQuery collection
$('#button').on('click', () => {
	if (screenfull.isEnabled) {
		screenfull.request(element);
	}
});

Toggle fullscreen on a image with jQuery

import screenfull from 'screenfull';
$('img').on('click', event => {
	if (screenfull.isEnabled) {
		screenfull.toggle(event.target);
	}
});

Detect fullscreen change

import screenfull from 'screenfull';
if (screenfull.isEnabled) {
	screenfull.on('change', () => {
		console.log('Am I fullscreen?', screenfull.isFullscreen ? 'Yes' : 'No');
	});
}

Remove listeners with:

import screenfull from 'screenfull';
screenfull.off('change', callback);

Detect fullscreen error

import screenfull from 'screenfull';
if (screenfull.isEnabled) {
	screenfull.on('error', event => {
		console.error('Failed to enable fullscreen', event);
	});
}

Fullscreen an element with Angular.js

You can use the Angular.js binding to do something like:

<div ngsf-fullscreen>
	<p>This is a fullscreen element</p>
	<button ngsf-toggle-fullscreen>Toggle fullscreen</button>
</div>

Fullscreen the page with Angular 2

import {Directive, HostListener} from '@angular/core';
import screenfull from 'screenfull';
@Directive({
	selector: '[toggleFullscreen]'
})
export class ToggleFullscreenDirective {
	@HostListener('click') onClick() {
		if (screenfull.isEnabled) {
			screenfull.toggle();
		}
	}
}
