}
export default {size, device}

import breakpoint from 'Commons/breakpoints';
...
const Component = styled.div`
    @media only screen and ${breakpoint.device.xs}{
        display: none;
    }
    @media only screen and ${breakpoint.device.sm}{
        display: flex;
    }
    @media only screen and ${breakpoint.device.lg}{

You could also achieve this using CSS Variables which would mean you could ship less Javascript. 🎉

Nobe, unfortunately you cannot use CSS variables to set the breakpoint for the media query. env() variables will fix this, but they aren't ready yet - not sure when they will be? But yeah, you can of course use the css variables inside the styling all you want.
