# Special use cases and how-to's
1. [Browserify hyphenopoly.module.js](#browserify-hyphenopolymodulejs)
2. [Webpack](#webpack)
3. [Hyphenate depending on media queries](#hyphenate-depending-on-media-queries)
__Note: It's not recommended to use `hyphenopoly.module.js` in a browser environment. See e.g. [this guide](./Hyphenators.md#use-case-hyphenopoly-in-react) on how to use Hyphenopoly in react.__
## Browserify hyphenopoly.module.js
__Note: A browserifyed hyphenopoly.module.js is by far larger then the Hyphenopoly_Loader.js and Hyphenopoly.js scripts which are optimized for usage in browsers.__
### Basic setup
Create a npm project:
````Shell
npm init
````
Install browserify as devDependency
````Shell
npm install --save-dev browserify
````
Install hyphenopoly
````Shell
npm install hyphenopoly
````
Setup hyphenopoly in main.js. Make sure to set the loader to "http" since browserify will not shim the "fs" module:
````javascript
"use strict";
const hyphenopoly = require("hyphenopoly");
const hyphenator = hyphenopoly.config({
"require": ["de", "en-us"],
"paths": {
"maindir": "./node_modules/hyphenopoly/",
"patterndir": "./node_modules/hyphenopoly/patterns/"
},
"hyphen": "•",
"loader": "http"
});
async function hyphenate_en(text) {
const hyphenateText = await hyphenator.get("en-us");
console.log(hyphenateText(text));
}
async function hyphenate_de(text) {
const hyphenateText = await hyphenator.get("de");
console.log(hyphenateText(text));
}
hyphenate_en("hyphenation enhances justification.");
hyphenate_de("Silbentrennung verbessert den Blocksatz.");
````
Transform the module
````Shell
browserify main.js -o bundle.js
````
This will generate the script-file `bundle.js`. Usage of a minifying tool (e.g. [tinyify](https://github.com/browserify/tinyify)) is recommended.
_Note:_ Make sure the directories referenced in `paths` are available.
## Webpack
__Note: A webpacked hyphenopoly.module.js is by far larger then the Hyphenopoly_Loader.js and Hyphenopoly.js scripts which are optimized for usage in browsers.__
Like `browserify` `webpack` will not shim "fs". Thus we have to tell `webpack` to shim the "fs" module with an empty object and configure `hyphenopoly` to use the "http"-loader.
webpack.config.js
````javascript
module.exports = {
node: {
fs: "empty" //<- prevent "fs not found"
}
};
````
index.js
````javascript
const hyphenopoly = require("hyphenopoly");
const hyphenator = hyphenopoly.config({
"require": ["de", "en-us"],
"paths": {
"maindir": "../node_modules/hyphenopoly/",
"patterndir": "../node_modules/hyphenopoly/patterns/"
},
"hyphen": "•",
"loader": "http"
});
````
## Hyphenate depending on media queries
In CSS hyphenation can be restricted to special media-queries. If hyphenation on a website must be dependent of e.g. the width of the window and only active on small screens, you'd do somethink like this:
````css
@media (max-width: 600px) {
.hyphenate {
hyphens: auto;
-ms-hyphens: auto;
-moz-hyphens: auto;
-webkit-hyphens: auto;
}
}
@media (min-width: 601px) {
.hyphenate {
hyphens: none;
-ms-hyphens: none;
-moz-hyphens: none;
-webkit-hyphens: none;
}
}
````
To polyfill hyphenation for browsers that don't support hyphenation (or don't support the required language) we'll have to tell Hyphenopoly to behave the same.
The standard way to enable Hyphenopoly would just hyphenate, regardless of the screen-width. Well have to tell the browser to run Hyphenopoly_Loader.js only for small screens and react to changes of the screen width (e.g. when rotating a mobile device). Therefor, instead of including Hyphenopoly the standard way
````html
````
we'll define a `selectiveLoad` IIFE:
````html
````
