A Gumby UI module helping to preload and insert images based on media queries and/or feature detection

Gumby Responsive Images

This module will preload and insert images based on media queries and/or feature detection. For more detailed documentation please check out the Gumby docs.

Installation

A bower package is available to install this module into your project. We recommend using this method to install Gumby and any extra UI modules, however you can alternatively move the individuals files into your project.

$ bower install gumby-images

Include gumby.images.js in the same fashion as your other UI modules, after gumby.js and before gumby.init.js. In production you should minify JavaScript files into a single optimized gumby.min.js file, ensuring the order (gumby.js, UI modules, gumby.init.js) is retained.

<!--
Include gumby.js followed by UI modules.
Or concatenate and minify into a single file-->
<script src="/bower_components/gumby/js/libs/gumby.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/gumby/js/libs/ui/gumby.skiplink.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/gumby/js/libs/ui/gumby.toggleswitch.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/gumby-images/gumby.images.js"></script>
<script src="/bower_components/gumby/js/libs/gumby.init.js"></script>

<!-- In production minifiy and combine the above files into gumby.min.js -->
<script src="js/gumby.min.js"></script>
<script src="js/plugins.js"></script>
<script src="js/main.js"></script>

Usage

Using the responsive images module is simple. Add a gumby-media attribute to any element containing any number of comma separated media query / image path pairs. Media queries and their associated images should be separated with a pipe. You can also add a gumby-supports attribute to any element, containing any number of comma seaparted features / image path pairs, in the same format as gumby-media. Features will be tested with Modernizr so ensure your Modernizr build contains all the tests you require. Both gumby-media and gumby-supports will fallback to the image supplied in gumby-default. If applied to an <img> the src will be updated otherwise the background-image will be used.

<img gumby-media="only screen and (max-width: 768px) and (min-width: 501px)|img/img_silence_demo-768.jpg,
				  only screen and (max-width: 500px)|img/img_silence_demo-500.jpg"
	 gumby-default="img/img_silence_demo.jpg" />

<img gumby-supports="webp|img/img_silence_demo.webp"
		 gumby-default="img/img_silence_demo.jpg" />

Shorthand

The characters < and > can be used as shorthand for max-width and min-width to make it easier and less verbose.

For exampe, the following...

<div gumby-media="< 768px | 2-1-0"></div>

Will be converted to...

<div gumby-media="(max-width: 768px) | 2-1-0"></div>

The media queries are passed directly to JavaScript's matchMedia function which is not supported in <= IE9, but fear not, you can include Paul Irish's polyfil and all will be well
