Use container queries for component-level responsiveness
Media queries respond to viewport width, which makes components context-dependent — a card designed for a 3-column grid might break when placed in a 2-column grid or a sidebar. Container queries solve this: a card can layout itself based on how much space its container gives it, making the component genuinely reusable in any layout context.
Quick Reference
- Container queries respond to the parent container's size, not the viewport
- Set container-type: inline-size on the parent to enable container queries
- Use @container rule to write styles that activate at container breakpoints
- Container queries make components reusable in sidebars, grids, and full-width areas
Check
Look for components in this CSS that have media query breakpoints — consider whether container queries would make them more reusable in different layout contexts.
Fix
Convert this component from media query-based to container query-based responsiveness using container-type and @container.
