### Overview

> Responsive option can be used for setting breakpoints and additional options within. Try changing your browser width to see what happens with Items and Navigations.

#### About responsive option

Setting of the responsive is very simple. Structure of responsive option:

    responsive : {
        // breakpoint from 0 up
        0 : {
            option1 : value,
            option2 : value,
            ...
        },
        // breakpoint from 480 up
        480 : {
            option1 : value,
            option2 : value,
            ...
        },
        // breakpoint from 768 up
        768 : {
            option1 : value,
            option2 : value,
            ...
        }
    }

### Key facts:

- Each breakpoint key can be a Number value (like in example) or a string: '480'.
- Owl has an in-built sort option but it’s best to set from the smallest screens to the widest.
- Responsive options always overwrite top level settings.
- As default, the responsive option is set to true so carousel always tries to fit the wrapper (even if media queries are not support IE7/IE8 etc).
- If you have non flexible layout then set `responsive:false`.

### Live Example

    $('.owl-carousel').owlCarousel({
        loop:true,
        margin:10,
        responsiveClass:true,
        responsive:{
            0:{
                items:1,
                nav:true
            },
            600:{
                items:3,
                nav:false
            },
            1000:{
                items:5,
                nav:true,
                loop:false
            }
        }
    })

### Responsive related options:

#### responsiveClass

Optional helper class. Add 'owl-reponsive-' + 'breakpoint' class to main element.

#### responsiveBaseElement

As default all responsive breakpoints are corresponding with `window` width. This option gives you an opportunity to change it to your own class/id like `responsiveBaseElement:".myCustomWrapper"`

#### responsiveRefreshRate

What this does is wait 200ms after you changed the browser width and performs refresh actions (calculating widths/ cloning items etc.) Default refresh rate is 200ms. I think this rate is optimal but you can change it if it’s to slow for you.

As not every option is able to use responsive abilities, here’s a full list of responsive options.
