In this shot, I will share my experience with responsive design using css @media Rules.
Before you start adding responsiveness into your app, you have to ask yourself
"am I going to design the app in Mobile-First Approach or Desktop-First Approach?"
Mobile-First Approach is designing or developing an app for Mobile before designing for desktop web or any other device.
Desktop-First Approach is designing or developing an app for Dekstop before designing for Mobiles or any other device.
Here are the @media rules that I personally use to fit all possible devices and screen sizes.
Sizes from Chrome device toolbar.
Desktop-first
/* ================ Desktop First ================ */
/* Any other bigger devices */
body {
background: brown;
}
/* Ultra HD */
@media (max-width: 3840px) {
body {
background: red;
}
}
/* Full HD */
@media (max-width: 2560px) {
body {
background: blue;
}
}
/* Labtop L*/
@media (max-width: 1440px) {
body {
background: green;
}
}
/* Labtop */
@media (max-width: 1024px) {
body {
background: cyan;
}
}
/* Tablet */
@media (max-width: 768px) {
body {
background: purple;
}
}
/* Mobile */
@media (max-width: 425px) {
body {
background: yellow;
}
}
With Desktop-first we use max-width
and the order of the sizes from larger (at the top) to smaller (at the bottom).
Mobile-first
/* ================ Mobile First ================ */
/* Any other smaller devices */
body {
background: brown;
}
/* Mobile */
@media (min-width: 425px) {
body {
background: yellow;
}
}
/* Tablet */
@media (min-width: 768px) {
body {
background: purple;
}
}
/* Labtop */
@media (min-width: 1024px) {
body {
background: cyan;
}
}
/* Labtop L*/
@media (min-width: 1440px) {
body {
background: green;
}
}
/* Full HD */
@media (min-width: 2560px) {
body {
background: blue;
}
}
/* Ultra HD */
@media (min-width: 3840px) {
body {
background: red;
}
}
With mobile-first, we use min-width
, and the order of the sizes from smaller (at the top) to larger (at the bottom).
