![]() For the same column width on all tiers, just set the width for the smallest tier that’s desired. Therefore, col-sm-6 really means 50% width on small-and-up. Or, in reverse… xl > overrides lg > overrides md > overrides sm > overrides (xs) Larger breakpoints, override Smaller breakpoints. Since (xs) is the default breakpoint, the col-12 is implied. Since I didn’t specify a default Column width, the 50% width was only applied on 768px and wider for the sm breakpoint. ![]() This is because (xs) is the default or implied breakpoint. On less than 768px, the 2 columns become 100% width and stack vertically: The col-sm-6 means use 6 of 12 columns wide (50%), on a typical small device width (greater than or equal to 768 px): They enable you to control Column behavior at different screen widths.įor example: here are 2 columns, each 50% width: ![]() So instead ofīootstrap uses CSS media queries to establish these Responsive Breakpoints. ResizeObserver interface is used to observe changes to an element’s size and ResizeObserverEntry describes actually an element that has been resized.Why did I put (xs) in parenthesis, and not the other breakpoints? Since xs (extra-small) is the defaultīreakpoint, the -xs infix that was used for Bootstrap 3.x is longer used in Bootstrap 4.x. ResizeObserver API gives us two interfaces - ResizeObserver and ResizeObserverEntry. Let’s consider the following situation - text inside of an element should change based on the size of an element. Anyway, it should not stop us from seeing it in action, so let’s do that! Example: change the text of an element base on its size Available polyfills have usually limitations (like slow response, no support for delayed transition, etc), so be aware. There’s more bad news: it’s not 100% polyfillable. Mobile support is less charming - only Chrome on Android and Samsung Internet support it. It already works in Chrome 64, Firefox and Safari for desktop. The ResizeObserver API is a living draft. It is an element’s counterpart to window.resize event. The ResizeObserver API is an interface for observing changes to element’s size. Luckily, the Chrome team is coming to the rescue - welcome ResizeObserver API: So what are the options? We could use window.resize(callback), but it’s an expensive solution - the callback is called each time the event is triggered and we still need a lot of calculations to detect if our component has actually changed its size… Observing changes to element’s size with ResizeObserver API Sounds great, but unfortunately, browsers had a reason to hesitate with an implementation - circular dependency (when one resize event triggers another, leading to infinite loop click here to read more), so this specification never turned into a W3C draft. ![]() Container queries allow an author to control styling based on the size of a containing element rather than the size of the user’s viewport. Given a complex responsive layout, developers often require granular control over styling elements relative to the size of their parent container rather than the viewport size. And there is even a proposal from 2015 - container queries: Developers have been talking about this tool for years already. What we still miss in our toolbox is a way to detect size changes on a single DOM element, not a viewport. Now we can see if the document matches the media and even more - observe a document to detect when its media queries change. For a long time, this solution was only available for CSS, until it became accessible also in JS via window.matchMedia( mediaQueryString). Media queries are flexible and easy to use. In the past we only had media queries - CSS solution base on a media size, media type or media screen resolution (by media, we mean desktop, phone or tablet). Today I want to talk about ResizeObserver API, a new powerful tool for Responsive Web, which in contrast to media-queries, allows detecting a size change of a particular element rather than a whole viewport. But how about responsive components? Modern web development is about components and we need a way to make them responsive as well. And CSS media-queries are a great solution to this challenge. We want to be able to support all the possible sizes and still keep a good user experience. There is a vast and ever-growing variety of screens. The word “responsive” is something we don’t mention that often these days in web development, it’s a standard already.
