You can check live demo of this service on Plunker.

Usage example

// add dependency to your application
var app = angular.module('application', ['angular-matchmedia']);

// you can change default `rules` of the service (set your own breakpoints) in your app config
app.config(["matchMediaProvider", function(matchMediaProvider) {
    matchMediaProvider.rules.phone = '(max-width: 767px)';
    matchMediaProvider.rules.tablet = '(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 988px)';
}]);

// inject service into your controller and you are ready to go
app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope, matchMedia) {
    $scope.isTablet = matchMedia.isTablet();
    $scope.isRetina = matchMedia.isRetina();
});

Default rules (helper breakpoints)

rules = {
    phone: '(max-width: 767px)',
    tablet: '(min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 1024px)',
    desktop: '(min-width: 1025px)',
    portrait: '(orientation: portrait)',
    landscape: '(orientation: landscape)',
    retina: '(-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2), (min-resolution: 192dpi)'

TODO

• add additional helpers
• ability to register custom helpers (not sure if it is needed)
• ability to override existing helper methods
