I'm looking for a way to make "arrows: true" dependent on whether the user is on mobile or not. This is for a slideshow that involves liquid template language 

 this.settings = { accessibility: true, arrows: true, dots: false, fade: true, draggable: true, touchThreshold: 20, autoplay: this.$slideshow.data('autoplay'), autoplaySpeed: this.$slideshow.data('speed') };

I've tried setting and using a variable to no avail. Are there any straightforward ways to do this?

Edit:

I've tried the following (it most likely has errors): 

var noarrow if ($(window).width() <= 670) { } noarrow = "false", else { noarrow = "true"

} 

arrow: "no arrow"

  • What library are you using? Is arrows reactive? Are you able to set arrows after the slideshow has been created? You can leverage the JavaScript version of media queries: matchMedia Commented Jul 10, 2018 at 20:43

    "I've tried setting and using a variable to no avail." - Can you share your attempt(s)? Not only does it give us a more specific idea of what you'd like to do, but it helps us avoid suggesting solutions that you've already tried. Commented Jul 10, 2018 at 20:43

    Don't approach this from the perspective of "I want this enabled on mobile but not desktop". Enable features based on a concrete feature-set like available screen width or touch capabilities. Otherwise you risk making a feature unavailable on a platform that it should be enabled on. Commented Jul 10, 2018 at 20:47

Here is a solution I have used, though instead of using the property of your object, you will have to get the value using a function .

let settings = { accessibility: true, arrows: () => { return /Android|webOS|iPhone|iPad|iPod|BlackBerry|IEMobile|Opera Mini/i.test(navigator.userAgent) ? true : false; }, dots: false, fade: true, draggable: true, touchThreshold: 20 }; console.log(settings.arrows());
