How to make canvas responsive using Phaser 3? - phaser-framework

Question

Previously I was working on Phaser 2 but now I need to switch to Phaser 3.
I tried to make the canvas responsive with ScaleManager but it is not working.
I think some of the methods changed but I didn't find any help to rescale the stage full screen.
var bSize = {
bWidth: window.innerWidth ||
root.clientWidth ||
body.clientWidth,
bHeight: window.innerHeight ||
root.clientHeight ||
body.clientHeight,
};
var game;
var canvas = document.getElementById("canvas");
function create() {
// Scaling options
game.scale.scaleMode = Phaser.ScaleManager.SHOW_ALL;
// Have the game centered horizontally
game.scale.pageAlignHorizontally = true;
// And vertically
game.scale.pageAlignVertically = true;
// Screen size will be set automatically
game.scale.setScreenSize(true);
}
window.onload = function() {
// Create game canvas and run some blocks
game = new Phaser.Game(
bSize.bWidth, //is the width of your canvas i guess
bSize.bHeight, //is the height of your canvas i guess
Phaser.AUTO,
'frame', { create: create });
canvas.style.position = "fixed";
canvas.style.left = 0;
canvas.style.top = 0;
}

Answer 1

Since v3.16.0, use the Scale Manager. For short:
var config = {
type: Phaser.AUTO,
scale: {
mode: Phaser.Scale.FIT,
parent: 'phaser-example',
autoCenter: Phaser.Scale.CENTER_BOTH,
width: 800,
height: 600
},
//... other settings
scene: GameScene
};
var game = new Phaser.Game(config);
Here is the full code and here are some useful examples using the Scale Manager.

There isn't a scale manager for Phaser 3 yet but it's in development. For now I suggest following this tutorial. It basically centres the canvas with some CSS, then calls a resize function that handles maintaining the game ratio when the resize event is emitted by the window.
Here is the code used in the tutorial linked above:
The css:
canvas {
display: block;
margin: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}
The resize function:
function resize() {
var canvas = document.querySelector("canvas");
var windowWidth = window.innerWidth;
var windowHeight = window.innerHeight;
var windowRatio = windowWidth / windowHeight;
var gameRatio = game.config.width / game.config.height;
if(windowRatio < gameRatio){
canvas.style.width = windowWidth + "px";
canvas.style.height = (windowWidth / gameRatio) + "px";
}
else {
canvas.style.width = (windowHeight * gameRatio) + "px";
canvas.style.height = windowHeight + "px";
}
}
Then:
window.onload = function() {
//Game config here
var config = {...};
var game = new Phaser.Game(config);
resize();
window.addEventListener("resize", resize, false);
}

Answer 3

Try adding max-width to canvas css and then max-height based on aspect ratio. E.g:
canvas {
display: block;
margin: 0;
position: absolute;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
max-width: 100%;
max-height: 50vw;
}

Scale manager will handle assets(Images,Sprites,..,...) positions and size sometime?
