Screenfull Fullscreen API Skill

This skill guides the implementation of fullscreen functionality using the screenfull library in the ng-events construction site management system.

When to Use This Skill

Triggers: "fullscreen", "screenfull", "full screen mode", "toggle fullscreen", "exit fullscreen"

Use this skill when:

• Adding fullscreen toggle buttons
• Creating fullscreen viewers (images, videos, dashboards)
• Implementing presentation modes
• Building immersive UI experiences
• Providing fullscreen for specific components

Installation & Setup

bash
# Already installed in package.json
yarn add screenfull@^6.0.2

Core Patterns

1. Basic Fullscreen Toggle

typescript
import { Component, inject, signal } from '@angular/core';
import screenfull from 'screenfull';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-fullscreen-toggle',
  standalone: true,
  template: `
    <button (click)="toggleFullscreen()" class="fullscreen-btn">
      @if (isFullscreen()) {
        <i nz-icon nzType="fullscreen-exit" nzTheme="outline"></i>
        Exit Fullscreen
      } @else {
        <i nz-icon nzType="fullscreen" nzTheme="outline"></i>
        Enter Fullscreen
      }
    </button>
  `
})
export class FullscreenToggleComponent {
  isFullscreen = signal(false);
  
  toggleFullscreen(): void {
    if (screenfull.isEnabled) {
      screenfull.toggle();
      this.updateFullscreenState();
      
      // Listen for fullscreen changes
      screenfull.on('change', () => {
        this.updateFullscreenState();
      });
    } else {
      console.warn('Fullscreen API not supported');
    }
  }
  
  private updateFullscreenState(): void {
    this.isFullscreen.set(screenfull.isFullscreen);
  }
}

2. Fullscreen Specific Element

typescript
import { Component, ElementRef, ViewChild, signal } from '@angular/core';
import screenfull from 'screenfull';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-dashboard-fullscreen',
  standalone: true,
  template: `
    <div #dashboardContainer class="dashboard-container">
      <div class="dashboard-header">
        <h2>Construction Progress Dashboard</h2>
        <button (click)="toggleFullscreen()" class="btn-fullscreen">
          @if (isFullscreen()) {
            <i nz-icon nzType="fullscreen-exit"></i>
          } @else {
            <i nz-icon nzType="fullscreen"></i>
          }
        </button>
      </div>
      
      <div class="dashboard-content">
        <app-progress-charts />
        <app-task-summary />
        <app-recent-activities />
      </div>
    </div>
  `,
  styles: [`
    .dashboard-container {
      position: relative;
      background: white;
      padding: 20px;
    }
    
    .dashboard-container:-webkit-full-screen {
      background: #1f1f1f;
      color: white;
    }
    
    .dashboard-container:fullscreen {
      background: #1f1f1f;
      color: white;
    }
    
    .btn-fullscreen {
      position: absolute;
      top: 20px;
      right: 20px;
    }
  `]
})
export class DashboardFullscreenComponent {
  @ViewChild('dashboardContainer', { static: true }) container!: ElementRef;
  isFullscreen = signal(false);
  
  toggleFullscreen(): void {
    if (screenfull.isEnabled) {
      screenfull.toggle(this.container.nativeElement);
      
      screenfull.on('change', () => {
        this.isFullscreen.set(screenfull.isFullscreen);
      });
    }
  }
}

3. Image Gallery Fullscreen

typescript
import { Component, signal } from '@angular/core';
import screenfull from 'screenfull';
import { NzImageModule } from 'ng-zorro-antd/image';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-construction-photos',
  standalone: true,
  imports: [NzImageModule],
  template: `
    <div class="photo-gallery">
      <h3>Construction Site Photos</h3>
      
      <div class="photo-grid">
        @for (photo of photos(); track photo.id) {
          <div class="photo-item" (click)="viewFullscreen(photo)">
            <img [src]="photo.thumbnailUrl" [alt]="photo.title" />
            <div class="photo-overlay">
              <i nz-icon nzType="fullscreen" nzTheme="outline"></i>
            </div>
          </div>
        }
      </div>
    </div>
    
    @if (currentPhoto()) {
      <div class="fullscreen-viewer" #viewer>
        <button class="close-btn" (click)="exitFullscreen()">
          <i nz-icon nzType="close"></i>
        </button>
        <img [src]="currentPhoto()!.fullUrl" [alt]="currentPhoto()!.title" />
        <div class="photo-info">
          <h4>{{ currentPhoto()!.title }}</h4>
          <p>{{ currentPhoto()!.description }}</p>

Best Practices

DO ✅

• Always check screenfull.isEnabled before use
• Provide clear UI to exit fullscreen
• Use Escape key to exit fullscreen

• Clean up event listeners
• Handle errors gracefully

DON'T ❌

• Assume fullscreen API is always available
• Force fullscreen without user interaction
• Forget to remove event listeners
• Ignore mobile browser limitations
• Use fullscreen for sensitive actions

Browser Compatibility
