DP aware breakpoints/media queries for Mobile Devices

[kasvith]

Hi Team,

This is a problem i came across while using uniStyles with various mobile device sizes.
In RN we uses DP to measure units, this is totally different from Web as in Web the pixel sizes and everything is handled by browsers

But if we consider a Native mobile app things are really difficult to handle as some devices(apple) has DPR values going upto 3.0

So in uniStyles if we want to look for a smaller mobile screen like iPhoneSE

Viewport Size: 320px × 568px
Screen Size: 640px × 1136px
Device Pixel Ratio: DPR 2

the width returned by uniStyles is 640 for iPhoneSE, but actually the screen size is 320

So the breakpoints, media queries we define doesnt work really well since uniStyle doesnt seems care about the DPR and returning the screen size(View Port Size x DPR)

this is a really difficult situation as in web it works(our breakpoints are in Pixels like in tailwind/bootstrap but they hold true to the view port size instead of true pixel count in web), but in RN we should also consider the DPR to get sizes

So i belive uniStyles should either handle this internally or provide utilities to handle it

from developer's perspective i dont care about the DPR(as how it should be with RN)

Hey @kasvith we will discuss it internally and back to you

[kasvith]

This was driving me insane while working with mobile in uniStyles

we discussed this in discord as well, glad that you got whats wrong...this is a very crucial thing to have

[kasvith]

if you can also release a patch for v2 as well

[kasvith]

hey @jpudysz any news about this?

[jpudysz]

It's planned for beta.6, beta.5 required a lot of stability improvements.

Also I have 2-3 tasks for 2.x branch, so I will release it together. Most likely end of January 🙏

Hi @jpudysz, thanks for implementing this feature for v3! Since our app is stuck on v2 for now, are you able to add this configuration for v2 as well?

[jpudysz]

Hey, what preventing you from update?

As of now I don't have any plans to release new features on v2 branch.

We are stuck with v2 since New Architecture is required for v3, we can't enable New Architecture for this time being due to some incompatibility issues.
