// Called by custom media query change listeners based on MatchMedia API
// Executes when the browser crosses a media query in either direction
function onMediaQueryChange() {
const $imgContainer = $(".focuspoint"); // already initialized focuspoint by here (see docs)
const mqSuffix = getMqSuffix(); // custom functionality (returns "sm", "md", "lg")
const focusX = $imgContainer.attr(`data-focus-x-${mqSuffix}`);
const focusY = $imgContainer.attr(`data-focus-y-${mqSuffix}`);

// Inject custom data into
$imgContainer.data({focusX, focusY, imageW, imageH});
$imgContainer.focusPoint("adjustFocus");

Notes

  • This solve is useful for a fluid layout; where art-direction for every possible width is not practical.
  • Picture element setup is fairly simple:
    • Adhears to Bootstrap 3 breakpoints
    • Source elements use a single value for srcset
  • onMediaQueryChange is called by some custom MatchMedia based code, which isn't hard to write
  • getMqSuffix simply checks the current breakpoint and returns "sm", "md", or "lg".
  • I created the values for each version of the data- attrs using the nice helper tool linked to from the repo.
