Disclosure

This package is a combination of two packages downloaded and converted to typescript
all credits due:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/react-full-screen
https://www.npmjs.com/package/fscreen

Usage similar to the original author but will work in typescript too

• Install.

yarn add react-fullscreen-crossbrowser

• Require component.

import Fullscreen from 'react-full-screen';

• Setup and render.

import React, { Component } from "react";
import Fullscreen from 'react-fullscreen-crossbrowser';

class App extends Component {
  constructor(props) {
    this.state = {
      isFullscreenEnabled: false,
    };
  }

  render() {
    return (
      <div className="App">
        <button onClick={() => this.setState({isFullscreenEnabled: true})}>
          Go Fullscreen
        </button>

        <Fullscreen
          enabled={this.state.isFullscreenEnabled}
          onChange={isFullscreenEnabled => this.setState({isFullscreenEnabled})}
        >
          <div className='full-screenable-node'>
            Hi! This may cover the entire monitor.
          </div>
        </Fullscreen>
      </div>
    );
  }
}

export default App;

or typescript:

import * as React from 'react';
import FullScreen from 'react-fullscreen-crossbrowser';


export class App extends React.Component<any, any> {
  constructor(props: any) {
    super(props);
    this.state = {
      isFullscreenEnabled: false,
    };
  }

  render() {
    return (
        <div>
          <button onClick={() => this.setState({isFullscreenEnabled: true})}>
            Go Fullscreen
          </button>
          <FullScreen
            enabled={this.state.isFullscreenEnabled}
            onChange={(isFullscreenEnabled: any) => this.setState({isFullscreenEnabled})}
          >
            <div className='full-screenable-node'>
              Hi! This may cover the entire monitor.
            </div>
          </FullScreen>
        </div>
    );
  }
}

The reason for keeping track of the current state outside of the component is that the user can choose to leave full screen mode without the action of your application. This is a safety feature of the Fullscreen API. In order to enter full screen again, the enabled prop needs to be flipped.
