# Device Motion

This controller listens to devicemotion events from the Device Motion API\
and emits a normalized updated event containing acceleration, acceleration including gravity, rotation rate, and sampling interval. It also manages the permission flow when required.

**Usage**

```twig
<div {{ stimulus_controller('@pwa/device-motion') }}>
  <p id="motion-status">Waiting for motion data…</p>
</div>

<script type="module">
  const host = document.querySelector('[data-controller="pwa__device-motion"]');
  const out = document.getElementById('motion-status');

  host.addEventListener('device-motion:unavailable', () => {
    out.textContent = 'Device Motion API is not available on this device/browser.';
  });

  host.addEventListener('device-motion:permission-granted', () => {
    out.textContent = 'Permission granted. Receiving motion data…';
  });

  host.addEventListener('device-motion:permission-denied', () => {
    out.textContent = 'Permission denied. Cannot access motion sensors.';
  });

  host.addEventListener('device-motion:updated', (e) => {
    const { acceleration, rotationRate, interval } = e.detail;
    out.textContent =
      `Acc: x=${acceleration.x?.toFixed(2)} y=${acceleration.y?.toFixed(2)} z=${acceleration.z?.toFixed(2)} | ` +
      `Rot: α=${rotationRate.alpha?.toFixed(1)} β=${rotationRate.beta?.toFixed(1)} γ=${rotationRate.gamma?.toFixed(1)} | ` +
      `dt=${interval}ms`;
  });
</script>
```

### Parameters

`throttleValue`: Intended to control how often `updated` events are dispatched to avoid spamming the UI.

### Actions

None

### Targets

None

### Events

`unavailable`: the feature is not supported by the device.

`permission-granted`: permission prompt was granted; listener is attached.

`permission-denied`: User denied permission, or an error occurred during the permission request.

`updated`: On every device motion event (as delivered by the browser).

Contains the following object:

```json
{
  acceleration: {
    x: number | null,
    y: number | null,
    z: number | null
  },
  accelerationIncludingGravity: {
    x: number | null,
    y: number | null,
    z: number | null
  },
  rotationRate: {
    alpha: number | null, // deg/s around Z
    beta: number | null,  // deg/s around X
    gamma: number | null  // deg/s around Y
  },
  interval: number // ms between samples
}
```

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://pwa.spomky-labs.com/1.3.x/symfony-ux/device-motion.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
