| 1 | +# Responsive Styles |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +Chakra UI supports responsive styles out of the box. Instead of manually adding |
| 4 | +`@media` queries and adding nested styles throughout your code, Chakra UI allows |
| 5 | +you to provide object and array values to add mobile-first responsive styles. |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +> We use the `@media(min-width)` media query to ensure your interfaces are |
| 8 | +> mobile-first. |
| 9 | +
|
| 10 | +Responsive syntax relies on the breakpoints defined in the theme object. Chakra |
| 11 | +UI provides default breakpoints, here's what it looks like: |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +```js |
| 14 | +import { createBreakpoints } from "@chakra-ui/theme-tools" |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +const breakpoints = createBreakpoints({ |
| 17 | + sm: "30em", |
| 18 | + md: "48em", |
| 19 | + lg: "62em", |
| 20 | + xl: "80em", |
| 21 | + "2xl": "96em", |
| 22 | +}) |
| 23 | +``` |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +To make styles responsive, you can use either the array or object syntax. |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +## The Array syntax |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +All style props accept arrays as values for mobile-first responsive styles. This |
| 30 | +is the recommended method. |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +Let's say you have a `Box` with the following properties: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +```jsx live=false |
| 35 | +<c-box bg="red.200" w="400px"> |
| 36 | + This is a box |
| 37 | +</c-box> |
| 38 | +``` |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +To make the `width` or `w` responsive using the array syntax, here's what you |
| 41 | +need to do: |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +```jsx live=false |
| 44 | +<c-box bg="red.200" :w=[300, 400, 500]> |
| 45 | + This is a box |
| 46 | +</c-box> |
| 47 | +``` |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +To interpret array responsive values, Chakra UI converts the values defined in |
| 50 | +`theme.breakpoints` and sorts them in ascending order. Afterward, we map the |
| 51 | +values defined in the array to the breakpoints |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +```js |
| 54 | +import { createBreakpoints } from "@chakra-ui/theme-tools" |
| 55 | + |
| 56 | +// This is the default breakpoint |
| 57 | +const breakpoints = createBreakpoints({ |
| 58 | + sm: "30em", |
| 59 | + md: "48em", |
| 60 | + lg: "62em", |
| 61 | + xl: "80em", |
| 62 | + "2xl": "96em", |
| 63 | +}) |
| 64 | + |
| 65 | +// Internally, we transform to this |
| 66 | +const breakpoints = ["0em", "30em", "48em", "62em", "80em", "96em"] |
| 67 | +``` |
| 68 | + |
| 69 | +Here's how to interpret this syntax: |
| 70 | + |
| 71 | +- `300px`: From `0em` upwards |
| 72 | +- `400px`: From `30em` upwards |
| 73 | +- `500px`: From `48em` upwards |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +> To skip certain breakpoints, you can pass `null` to any position in the array |
| 76 | +> to avoid generating unnecessary CSS. |
| 77 | +
|
| 78 | +## The Object syntax |
| 79 | + |
| 80 | +You can also define responsive values with breakpoint aliases in an object. Any |
| 81 | +undefined alias key will define the base, non-responsive value. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +Let's say you have a `Text` that looks like this: |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +```jsx live=false |
| 86 | +<c-text fontSize="40px">This is a text</c-text> |
| 87 | +``` |
| 88 | + |
| 89 | +To make the `fontSize` responsive using the object syntax, here's what you need |
| 90 | +to do: |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +```jsx live=false |
| 93 | +<c-text :fontSize={ base: "24px", md: "40px", lg: "56px" }> |
| 94 | + This is responsive text |
| 95 | +</c-text> |
| 96 | +``` |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +> **Remember, Chakra UI uses the min-width media query for responsive design**. |
| 99 | +> The breakpoints are: `sm = 30em`, `md = 48em`, `lg = 62em`, `xl = 80em` |
| 100 | +
|
| 101 | +Here's how to interpret this syntax: |
| 102 | + |
| 103 | +- `base`: From `0em` upwards |
| 104 | +- `md`: From `48em` upwards |
| 105 | +- `lg`: From `62em` upwards |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +## More Examples |
| 108 | + |
| 109 | +This works for every style prop in the theme specification, which means you can |
| 110 | +change the style of most properties at a given breakpoint. |
| 111 | + |
| 112 | +```jsx live=false |
| 113 | +<> |
| 114 | + <c-box |
| 115 | + :height={ |
| 116 | + base: "100%", // 0-48em |
| 117 | + md: "50%", // 48em-80em, |
| 118 | + xl: "25%", // 80em+ |
| 119 | + } |
| 120 | + bg="teal.400" |
| 121 | + :width=[ |
| 122 | + "100%", // 0-30em |
| 123 | + "50%", // 30em-48em |
| 124 | + "25%", // 48em-62em |
| 125 | + "15%", // 62em+ |
| 126 | + ] |
| 127 | + /> |
| 128 | + {/* responsive font size */} |
| 129 | + <c-box :fontSize=["sm", "md", "lg", "xl"]>Font Size</c-box> |
| 130 | + {/* responsive margin */} |
| 131 | + <c-box :mt=[2, 4, 6, 8] width="full" height="24px" bg="tomato" /> |
| 132 | + {/* responsive padding */} |
| 133 | + <c-box bg="papayawhip" :p=[2, 4, 6, 8]> |
| 134 | + Padding |
| 135 | + </c-box> |
| 136 | +</> |
| 137 | +``` |
| 138 | + |
| 139 | +## Under the hood |
| 140 | + |
| 141 | +This shortcut is an alternative to writing media queries out by hand. Given the |
| 142 | +following: |
| 143 | + |
| 144 | +```jsx live=false |
| 145 | +<c-box :width=[1, 1 / 2, 1 / 4] /> |
| 146 | +or |
| 147 | +<c-box :width="['100%', 0.5, 0.25]" /> |
| 148 | +``` |
| 149 | + |
| 150 | +It'll generate a CSS that looks like this |
| 151 | + |
| 152 | +```css |
| 153 | +.Box { |
| 154 | + width: 100%; |
| 155 | +} |
| 156 | + |
| 157 | +@media screen and (min-width: 40em) { |
| 158 | + .Box { |
| 159 | + width: 50%; |
| 160 | + } |
| 161 | +} |
| 162 | + |
| 163 | +@media screen and (min-width: 52em) { |
| 164 | + .Box { |
| 165 | + width: 25%; |
| 166 | + } |
| 167 | +} |
| 168 | +``` |
| 169 | + |
| 170 | +___NOTE___: In the shortcut example `'100%'` is used instead of `1` because in the default Chakra UI Vue theme, `theme.sizes[1] = 0.25rem`. This means that using a prop like `:width="1"` will render a width of 4px and not `'100%'` |
| 171 | + |
| 172 | +The equivalent of this style if you passed it as an object. |
| 173 | + |
| 174 | +```js |
| 175 | +// First, create an alias for breakpoints |
| 176 | +const breakpoints = ["30em", "48em", "62em", "80em"]; |
| 177 | +// aliases |
| 178 | +breakpoints.sm = breakpoints[0]; |
| 179 | +breakpoints.md = breakpoints[1]; |
| 180 | +breakpoints.lg = breakpoints[2]; |
| 181 | +breakpoints.xl = breakpoints[3]; |
| 182 | +``` |
| 183 | + |
| 184 | +then |
| 185 | + |
| 186 | +```vue |
| 187 | +<c-box :width="{ base: 1, sm: 1 / 2, md: 1 / 4 }" /> |
| 188 | +``` |
| 189 | + |
| 190 | +## Customizing Breakpoints |
| 191 | + |
| 192 | +In some scenarios, you might need to define custom breakpoints for your |
| 193 | +application. We recommended using common aliases like `sm`, `md`, `lg`, and |
| 194 | +`xl`. |
| 195 | + |
| 196 | +To define custom breakpoints, install `@chakra-ui/theme-tools`, and use the |
| 197 | +`createBreakpoints` utility we provide. |
| 198 | + |
| 199 | +> Note: Ensure the css unit of your breakpoints are the same. Use all `px` or |
| 200 | +> all `em`, don't mix them. |
| 201 | +
|
| 202 | +```jsx live=false |
| 203 | +// 1. Import the utilities |
| 204 | +import { extendTheme } from "@chakra-ui/vue-next" |
| 205 | +import { createBreakpoints } from "@chakra-ui/theme-tools" |
| 206 | + |
| 207 | +// 2. Update the breakpoints as key-value pairs |
| 208 | +const breakpoints = createBreakpoints({ |
| 209 | + sm: "320px", |
| 210 | + md: "768px", |
| 211 | + lg: "960px", |
| 212 | + xl: "1200px", |
| 213 | + "2xl": "1536px", |
| 214 | +}) |
| 215 | + |
| 216 | +// 3. Extend the theme |
| 217 | +const theme = extendTheme({ breakpoints }) |
| 218 | + |
| 219 | +// 4. Now you can use the custom breakpoints |
| 220 | +function Example() { |
| 221 | + return <c-box :width={ base: "100%", sm: "50%", md: "25%" } /> |
| 222 | +} |
| 223 | +``` |
| 224 | + |
| 225 | +> Note: If you're using **pixels** as breakpoint values make sure to **always** |
| 226 | +> provide a value for the `2xl` breakpoint, which by its default pixels value is |
| 227 | +> **"1536px"**. |
| 228 | +
|
| 229 | +## Demo |
| 230 | + |
| 231 | +Here's a simple example of a marketing page component that uses a stacked layout |
| 232 | +on small screens, and a side-by-side layout on larger screens **(resize your |
| 233 | +browser to see it in action)**: |
| 234 | + |
| 235 | +```vue |
| 236 | +<c-box p="4" :display={ md: "flex" }> |
| 237 | + <c-box flexShrink="0"> |
| 238 | + <c-image |
| 239 | + borderRadius="lg" |
| 240 | + :width={ md: 40 } |
| 241 | + src="https://bit.ly/2jYM25F" |
| 242 | + alt="Person paying for a purchase" |
| 243 | + /> |
| 244 | + </c-box> |
| 245 | + <c-box :mt={ base: 4, md: 0 } :ml={ md: 6 }> |
| 246 | + <c-text |
| 247 | + fontWeight="bold" |
| 248 | + textTransform="uppercase" |
| 249 | + fontSize="sm" |
| 250 | + letterSpacing="wide" |
| 251 | + color="teal.600" |
| 252 | + > |
| 253 | + Marketing |
| 254 | + </c-text> |
| 255 | + <c-link |
| 256 | + mt="1" |
| 257 | + display="block" |
| 258 | + fontSize="lg" |
| 259 | + lineHeight="normal" |
| 260 | + fontWeight="semibold" |
| 261 | + href="#" |
| 262 | + > |
