Container Queries are going to change how we make layouts

While media queries that look at the viewport size can be useful, today’s web is very component-based, and having to rely on the size of the viewport is pretty limiting. Luckily, container queries are now a thing!

I cannot contain my excitement!!! Only thing I dislike is creating markup for flex/grid, we should have container-type: flex; and container-type: grid;

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 01:10 📏 Container queries focus on component-based layout adaptation within containers, overcoming limitations of viewport-based media queries. 03:46 🔄 Container queries directly target the nearest container's size, providing more precise responsiveness within components. 07:46 🔄 Named containers enable applying container queries to specific components, allowing for fine-grained styling based on container context. 11:15 📐 Using `size` for container type affects both width and height, requiring careful consideration; prefer `inline size` for most cases. 18:42 📐 Applying container queries within Flexbox or Grid layouts might need additional adjustments due to container behavior; consider the layout structure carefully. 19:50 🛠️ Container queries can be limited by parent grid dimensions; to target individual grid items, use intermediate div containers as parents. 21:10 🧩 When working with flex layouts, applying container queries might require adjusting flex properties to prevent children from collapsing to zero width. 23:18 🧐 Understanding container implications is crucial; they establish new formatting contexts, affect layout behaviors, and eliminate margin collapsing.

@k1mpman Год назад

Been learning react for a week or two now and I just couldn't find mentions of how people use a component multiple times with different stylings. This solves so much of that for me and it's such a relief that you even mention this in the video because I was going crazy. I ended up thinking most people just use tailwind or something and use the medium, small and large media query for everything. What an amazing video, Kevin.

🧡🧡 I love container queries 😊🧡 .. have been waiting for it for years! .. I already implemented it in my free wp plugin (Block Designer) .. actually a polyfill because of browser support 😏 .. I’m so happy this is finally coming! 🥳

@slava_trushkin Год назад

Brilliant! This was needed for many years, but better late than never. I've hit this wall with media queries almost a decade ago when I was designing themes for forums, where posts can have sidebars, user profile block and so on, so content could be wrapped in multiple layers of stuff, making it impossible to use media queries. My solution was similar to containers, but with JavaScript that toggled classes on container elements. It was a nightmare to maintain. I don't work with forum themes anymore, but PTSD from attempting to design proper responsive themes still remains.

@metalstarver642 Год назад

I had similar problems, and currently use ResizeObserver in JS to set CSS variables to a container to be used in CSS.

Actually { container-type: size; height: 100%; overflow: auto; } seems very usefull. And it's a bit strange there's no container-type: block-size yet.

@KevinPowell Год назад

block-size and some others should come eventually :) The issue with `height: 100%` is we don't always want that either though. But yes, it could be pretty useful in the right situation. In my video where I look at container units coming later this week, I found a few better use cases for dealing with heights :)

Thanks for sharing this! You become my number one resource for new features, I don't care about the sites you are looking for. ;-) Anyway, working as a front-end for more than 23 years and also being a lecturer for students, this video was hard to follow. It's not because of the new stuff, it's because of your preparations upfront. Without knowing your code, I can't judge what the outcome will be. My suggestions: Build simple markup in the video as well. Using Sass and it's grouping could also help. I have to try it myself this time to understand it completely. And this is different for your other videos.

@codebycarlos Год назад

Hi Kevin, awesome video as always thank you! I was curious as to why you used the data-type attribute to set the container stylings in the beginning. Would it not be more appropriate to have these as classes?

@KevinPowell Год назад

More common, yes, but no reason it's more or less appropriate. I've taken that idea from CUBE CSS, and personally I find I like it a lot, using data-attributes as modifiers instead of classes. As long as you have a consistent system, either approach is fine :)

GAME CHANGER feature right there, and I’m so glad browser support is very good for this one right now. One thing that came to my mind, specially to avoid dealing with the grid/flexbox issue you pointed out: if you’re breaking your UI up into components, doesn’t it make more sense to make the component’s container itself into a container (that would be .call-to-action in your example)?

@simon.tomtom.design Год назад

Super pertinent video, as always! I was wondering if the container shouldn't be the call to action itself. That way, wherever it's used, it's relying on it's own width to adapt it's style, even if it's not under .content-sidebar.

@simon.tomtom.design Год назад

It would also manage the flexbox no?

@KevinPowell Год назад

An item can't be its own container. You could have the call to action, as the container and then a div inside it that looks at it, and then all the content in there? Seems like an awkward pattern though

@simon.tomtom.design Год назад

@@KevinPowell Ok, I'll dive deeper (it's my first look at Container Queries) but for me, the idea was to make single components responsive wherever they're used and not have to declare rules for every spot you could use the component. Thanks!

hi kevin, video was awesome. i have a question about custom property you used in paragraphs (--color-primary), why you didn't change the variable value in diffrent break points?

@artistry7919 Год назад

I'd say it can cause confusion in maintanance, so it's bad practice. Global custom properties like --color-primary shouldn't be changed in a non global scope, unless you have a really good reason

@theseangle Год назад

42% support on caniuse :( Why don't browsers use dynamic engines which can Fetch features from a server whenever a spec update happens. That way a soft/mini/cloud update happens on all browser versions, meaning even browsers from 5 years ago can have most of 1 month old features

@eggkookoo Год назад

If I have an absolutely-positioned div with no width/height set, it will fit itself to any relative content inside it (like a stack of divs or images or something). So if the widest child element is 200px, the parent div will have a width of 200px as well. As soon as I give the absolutely-positioned parent div a container-type (of any value), it "loses" its children elements and collapses down to the smallest possible size, typically 0px. Is this a bug or am I missing something?
