Jquery Backstretch
This project is a jQuery plugin that serves as an adaptive media background manager. It scales images and videos to fill the browser window or specific containers while maintaining the original aspect ratios of the source media.
The system includes a responsive background slideshow for automated image rotation, featuring customizable timing and transition effects. It also provides a mechanism for managing the playback state of these sequences, including the ability to pause, resume, or jump to specific slides.
To optimize visual quality and load times, the plugin utilizes adaptive image resolution to select the best asset based on device pixel density and container width. It ensures backgrounds remain consistent during viewport changes by observing window resize events and recalculating dimensions.
Features
- Adaptive Media Background Managers - Provides a comprehensive system for managing responsive background images and videos that adapt to viewport size.
- Viewport Resize Observers - Monitors viewport changes to instantly recalculate media dimensions and resolutions for visual consistency.
- Background Image Management - Manages the scaling and positioning of images used as responsive web backgrounds.
- Dynamic Background Renderers - Ensures background media maintains aspect ratio and resolution during browser resizing or orientation changes.
- Aspect Ratio Preservation - Maintains original image proportions when scaling media to fill the browser window or containers.
- Container-Fill Resizing - Fills the browser window or specific elements with images that automatically adjust to container dimensions.
- Automated Content Rotation - Cycles through a series of images to create an automated visual rotation.
