Script Preparation code:

isMinViewportSize = false;
minViewportSize = 500

function setIsMinViewportSize(value) {
    if (isMinViewportSize !== value) {
        isMinViewportSize = value;

        getComputedStyle(document.body)
    }
}

function resize() {
    let direction = 'up';
    for (let i = 400; direction === 'up' || i > 400; direction === 'up' ? i++ : i--) {
        window.resizeTo(i, 1000)
        if (i === 600) { // up 200, down 200
            direction = 'down';

    }
}

Tests:

resize event
const handleResize = event => { setIsMinViewportSize(window.innerWidth >= minViewportSize); } window.addEventListener("resize", handleResize); resize();
matchMedia
const handleMatchChange = ({ matches }) => { setIsMinViewportSize(matches); } const match1 = window.matchMedia(`screen and (min-width: ${minViewportSize}px)`) match1.addEventListener('change', handleMatchChange); resize();
ResizeObserver
const observer = new ResizeObserver(entries => { setIsMinViewportSize(entries[0].contentRect.width >= minViewportSize) }) observer.observe(document.body) resize();
