I am looking for a solution to call different functions as per orientation

if (window.innerHeight > window.innerWidth) {
  alert("You are in portrait mode");
  <Portrait />
}

if (window.innerHeight < window.innerWidth) {
  alert("You are in landscape mode"); 
  <Landscape />
}

Written the following functions

export default function Landscape() {
  return (
    <main>...</main>
  );
}

function Portrait() {
  return (
    <main>...</main>
  );
}

Problem

Every time, only Landscape function getting called (I understand because I mentioned default)
Atleast, I was expecting Portrait function to be called, when device in portrait mode

Please help to get it done

import React, { useState, useEffect } from 'react';

function Landscape() {
 return (
   <main>
   <h1>Landscape Mode</h1>
   {/* Your landscape content */}
   </main>
 );
}

function Portrait() {
 return (
  <main>
  <h1>Portrait Mode</h1>
  {/* Your portrait content */}
 </main>
);
}

 export default function App() {
   const [isLandscape, setIsLandscape] = useState(window.innerWidth > window.innerHeight);

 useEffect(() => {
  function handleResize() {
  setIsLandscape(window.innerWidth > window.innerHeight);
  }

  window.addEventListener('resize', handleResize);
  return () => window.removeEventListener('resize', handleResize);
 }, []);

 return (
   <div>
  {isLandscape ? <Landscape /> : <Portrait />}
   </div>
);

}

You can also use this custom hook.

It utilizes the new screen.orientation feature instead of checking innerHeight / innerWidth.

As of March 2023, it works across the latest devices and browser versions.

import { useOrientation } from 'react-use';
import './App.css';

const PortraitContent = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            <h1>Welcome to the portrait mode</h1>
            <p className="content-portrait">Here is some information that's
                specific to portrait mode</p>
        </div>
    );
}

const LandscapeContent = () => {
    return (
        <div>
            <h1>Welcome to the landscape mode</h1>
            <p className="content-landscape">Here is some information that's
                specific to landscape mode</p>
        </div>
    );
}

const App = () => {
    const { type } = useOrientation();
    return (
        <div>
            {type === 'landscape-primary' ? (
                <LandscapeContent />
            ) : (
                <PortraitContent />
            )}
        </div>
    );
}
export default App;
