I am trying to constantly observe/detect a div element size using React Hook JS. I have used different ways but every time I see a common issue where decreasing window size doesn't change the ref.current.offsetWidth but increasing it, will change ref.current.offsetWidth value.
Here is my code:
function Chart({}) {
const targetRef = useRef(null);
const [dimensions, setDimensions] = useState({width: 0, height: 0});
const updateDimensions = debounce(() => {
if(targetRef.current) {
setDimensions({
width: targetRef.current.offsetWidth,
height: targetRef.current.offsetHeight
});
}
}, 50);
useEffect(() => {
updateDimensions();
}, []);
useEffect(() => {
window.addEventListener("resize", updateDimensions);
updateDimensions();
return () => {
window.removeEventListener("resize", updateDimensions);
};
}, []);
return (
<div style={{minHeight: 250}} ref={targetRef}>
<some svg component/>
</div>
);
}
Note: Re-rendering the entire app will update the dimensions, but I don't want to refresh the whole page to get the right size.
