system.orientation

Overview

String value identifying the orientation of the device:

• "portrait"
• "landscapeLeft"
• "portraitUpsideDown"
• "landscapeRight"
• "faceUp"
• "faceDown"

Gotchas

• The "faceUp" and "faceDown" orientations are only supported on iOS.

• Desktop apps built for macOS will always have an orientation property of "portrait", even when the app is configured for landscape orientation. There is no real notion of orientation on the desktop, nor an orientation event.

• See the orientation event documentation for more platform-specific caveats.

Syntax
