Container

A component for fixing an element's width to the current breakpoint.

React propsBreakpointsCSS Properties
container={value}Nonewidth: 100%;
sm (640px)max-width: 640px;
md (768px)max-width: 768px;
lg (1024px)max-width: 1024px;
xl (1280px)max-width: 1280px;
2xl (1536px)max-width: 1536px;

Usage

The container utility sets the max-width of an element to match the min-width of the current breakpoint. This is useful if you'd prefer to design for a fixed set of screen sizes instead of trying to accommodate a fully fluid viewport.

Note that unlike containers you might have used in other frameworks, xstyled's container does not center itself automatically and does not have any built-in horizontal padding.

To center a container, use the mx="auto" utility:

<x.div container mx="auto"> {/* ... */} </x.div>

To add horizontal padding, use the px={size} utility:

<x.div container mx="auto" px={4}> {/* ... */} </x.div>

Responsive

Use container={breakpoints} to make something behave like a container at only a certain breakpoint and up:

<x.div container={{ md: true }}> {/* Full-width fluid until the `lg` breakpoint, then lock to container */} {/* ... */} </x.div>
