I want to change height of a div element of my aura component as the browser windows height gets changed. I am enable to find any event associated with window.resize. How do i call a method when user resizes the browser window. Found a similar question but didn't understand it well.

How to run code when the browser window is resized in a Lightning Component?

  • Have you tri d using css media queries? Or add slds classes that will do that based on different screen sizes – glls Sep 5 '18 at 12:16
  • @glls No in my use case the height of the div element is calculated dynamically as per the available screen space, so media query is not an option. I need to calculate the space available and assign to the div. – Krishnan Mishra Sep 5 '18 at 12:29

You cannot execute a JS function directly in lightning. You can use another method to detect the window resizing effect. Try window.addEventListner

window.addEventListener('resize', $A.getCallback(function(){  }));

Use this code in your doInit controller method

doInit : function(component, event, helper) {
    window.addEventListener('resize', $A.getCallback(function(){
        if(component.isValid()) {
            console.log('Resizing Window');
        }
    }));
}

Let me know if it works for you.
