"Smart" design patterns with container queries

Container queries are a powerful CSS feature that allows styling based on the size of an element's container, rather than the viewport. This can lead to more flexible and meaningful breakpoints, particularly for component-based designs. The post explores practical examples, including making components adapt to the number of columns in a layout and how units like REM and EM work differently in container queries. The ability to create more intelligent design patterns without relying solely on viewport-based media queries is a key advantage.
