Best Practices
Usage:
✓ Use for component-level responsiveness
✓ Combine with media queries appropriately
✓ Name containers for clarity
✓ Use cqi units for fluid sizing
Performance:
✓ Apply containment intentionally
✓ Avoid unnecessary nesting
✓ Test with various container sizes
✓ Monitor layout shifts
Design:
✓ Design components container-first
✓ Define clear breakpoints
✓ Document container dependencies
✓ Consider content, not just size
Conclusion
Container queries enable truly responsive components that adapt to their container rather than the viewport. Use them for reusable components like cards, navigation, and forms. Combine with media queries for device-specific features and use container units for fluid sizing.
