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 āœØ

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

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


Code Examples šŸ–„ļø

Traditionally, you might write:

CSS media query

With the new, simpler syntax, it becomes:

CSS media query

Old way:

CSS media query

New way:

CSS media query

You can also test between two widths...

Conclusion šŸŒŸ

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.
