+
+<p>A <strong><code>MediaQueryList</code></strong> object stores information on a <a href="/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/Media_Queries">media query</a> applied to a document, and handles sending notifications to listeners when the media query state change (i.e. when the media query test starts or stops evaluating to <code>true</code>).</p>
+
+<p>This makes it possible to observe a document to detect when its media queries change, instead of polling the values periodically, and allows you to programmatically make changes to a document based on media query status.</p>

+ <dd>An event handler property representing a function that is invoked when the {{event("change")}} event fires, i.e when the status of media query support changes. The event object is a {{domxref("MediaQueryListEvent")}} instance, which is recognised as a <code>MediaListQuery</code> instance in older browsers, for backwards compatibility purposes.</dd>

+
+<p>This simple example creates a <code>MediaQueryList</code> and then sets up a listener to detect when the media query status changes, running a custom function when it does to change the appearence of the page.</p>

+<pre class="brush: js">var para = document.querySelector('p');
+
+var mql = window.matchMedia('(max-width: 600px)');
+
+function screenTest(e) {

+    para.textContent = 'This is a narrow screen — less than 600px wide.';
+    document.body.style.backgroundColor = 'red';
+  } else {
+    /* the viewport is more than than 600 pixels wide */
+    para.textContent = 'This is a wide screen — more than 600px wide.';
+    document.body.style.backgroundColor = 'blue';
+  }
+}
+
+mql.addListener(screenTest);</pre>
