Window: orientationchange event

The orientationchange event is fired when the orientation of the device has changed.

Example

You can use the orientationchange event in an addEventListener method:

window.addEventListener("orientationchange", function(event) {
  console.log("the orientation of the device is now " + event.target.screen.orientation.angle);
});

Or use the onorientationchange event handler property:

window.onorientationchange = function(event) { 
  console.log("the orientation of the device is now " + event.target.screen.orientation.angle);
};
