New CSS media queries syntax šŸ’„

Say goodbye to Min-Width & Max-WidthšŸ‘‹šŸ»

The new CSS media query syntax changes how we define responsive breakpoints.

It makes our code cleaner and easier to understand. šŸš€

The benefits of the new syntax:

  • Clarity: The new syntax is simple and intuitive ✨

  • Efficiency: Reduced complexity leads to faster development šŸŽļø

  • Compatibility: High support across modern browsers. You can check it out here 🌐


Code Examples šŸ–„ļø

Traditionally, you might write:

With the new, simpler syntax, it becomes:

Old way:

New way:

You can also test between two widths...

Conclusion 🌟

Adopting the new CSS media query syntax will simplify your code.

Please, comment on your thoughts. Your thoughts are valuable for contributing to the front-end development field. All are welcome! I want to hear them šŸ’¬

Keep up the good work! šŸ‘

My brain doesn't think straight regarding min-width, etc. It always stops me to think it out. This new way is beautiful and instant to read.
