I am using rems for my CSS sizes and am also using getBoundingClientRect in javascript. getBoundingClientRect returns it's values in px by default. Is it possible to get it to return the values in rems? It would make my code a little simpler.

CodePudding user response：

You will have to convert it by dividing the pixels by the computed font size of the document:

function convertPixelsToRem(px) {    
    return px / parseFloat(getComputedStyle(document.documentElement).fontSize.replace('px', ''));
}

console.log(convertPixelsToRem(div.getBoundingClientRect().width))

#div{
  width:100px;
  height:100px;
  background-color:grey;
  margin-bottom:10px;
}

#div2{
  width:6.25rem;
  height:100px;
  background-color:grey;
}

<div id="div"></div>
<div id="div2"></div>
