Fullscreen Plugin
The FullScreen plugin toggles the browser’s native fullscreen mode.
Usage
This plugin is activated via data attributes.
Data API
Add data-lte-toggle="fullscreen" to a button element. Use data-lte-icon="maximize" and data-lte-icon="minimize" on child icon elements to toggle their visibility.
<button type="button" class="btn" data-lte-toggle="fullscreen">
<i data-lte-icon="maximize" class="bi bi-arrows-fullscreen"></i>
<i data-lte-icon="minimize" class="bi bi-fullscreen-exit d-none"></i>
</button>
Events
| Event | Description |
|---|---|
maximized.lte.fullscreen | Fired when entering fullscreen mode. |
minimized.lte.fullscreen | Fired when exiting fullscreen mode. |
Programmatic API
import { FullScreen } from "admin-lte"
const btn = document.querySelector('[data-lte-toggle="fullscreen"]')
const fs = new FullScreen(btn)
fs.toggleFullScreen() // enter or exit based on current state
fs.inFullScreen() // request fullscreen
fs.outFullscreen() // exit fullscreen
Methods
| Method | Returns | Description |
|---|---|---|
toggleFullScreen() | void | Calls inFullScreen() if not in fullscreen, otherwise outFullscreen(). Checks document.fullscreenEnabled first. |
inFullScreen() | void | Calls document.documentElement.requestFullscreen(). The icon .d-none toggle and maximized.lte.fullscreen event are driven by the resulting fullscreenchange event, so a denied request leaves the UI untouched. |
outFullscreen() | void | Calls document.exitFullscreen(). The icon .d-none toggle and minimized.lte.fullscreen event are driven by the resulting fullscreenchange event. |
The constructor takes no config — pass only the trigger element.
Notes
- Requires browser support for the Fullscreen API. Check
document.fullscreenEnabledbefore invoking. - Icon state and events are synced from the native
fullscreenchangeevent, so they stay correct when the user exits fullscreen with ESC or F11, and a request denied by the browser leaves the icons unchanged. - The maximize icon is hidden via the
d-noneBootstrap utility class (not inlinedisplay) so it doesn’t override the icon library’s natural display value — this works correctly with FontAwesome, Lucide, Tabler Icons, etc. - Fullscreen on
document.documentElement(i.e.<html>) means the entire page goes fullscreen. To fullscreen just a card, use the CardWidgetmaximize()method instead.
