`useDevicePixelRatio()` is a React hook (and utility) that will tell you what the current device has as its Device Pixel Ratio (DPR). The hook is reactive - if the browser window moves to a different display with a different DPR, it will update automatically. If you only need to get the DPR statically, there is a function (`getDevicePixelRatio()`) equivalent.
## Installing
```
npm i use-device-pixel-ratio
```
## Server rendering
When rendering on the server or in browsers that do not support the `devicePixelRatio` property, it will default to `1` unless overriden by using the `defaultDpr` option.
## Rounding/limiting
The hook (by default) both rounds and limits the DPR - it will round _down_ by default, and cap the number at `3`. In other words, you should by default only have three values returned: `1`, `2` or `3`. To allow larger DPRs, pass a higher number to the `maxDpr` option. To prevent rounding, pass `round: false`.
## Usage
**Default usage**
```jsx
import {useDevicePixelRatio} from 'use-device-pixel-ratio'
async function MyComponent() {
const dpr = useDevicePixelRatio()
return <img src={`https://my.image.host/file.jpg?dpr=${dpr}`}>
}
```
**Setting higher limit**
```jsx
import {useDevicePixelRatio} from 'use-device-pixel-ratio'
async function MyComponent() {
const dpr = useDevicePixelRatio({maxDpr: 50})
return <div>DPR is {dpr}</div>
}
```
**Getting the "raw" DPR**
```jsx
import {useDevicePixelRatio} from 'use-device-pixel-ratio'
async function MyComponent() {
const dpr = useDevicePixelRatio({maxDpr: +Infinity, round: false})
return <div>DPR is {dpr}</div>
}
```
**Setting the default DPR**
```jsx
import {useDevicePixelRatio} from 'use-device-pixel-ratio'
async function MyComponent() {
const dpr = useDevicePixelRatio({defaultDpr: 2})
// Actual device DPR if available, 2 otherwise
return <div>DPR is {dpr}</div>
}
```
```ts
import {getDevicePixelRatio} from 'use-device-pixel-ratio'
console.log('Device pixel ratio is ', getDevicePixelRatio())
// Or, with options (same options as hook):
console.log('Device pixel ratio is ', getDevicePixelRatio({maxDpr: 5}))
```
