Each page can be art directed individually
Web applications have components in multiple contexts needing to
respond differently
None
None
A single page in a web application can have dozens
of variations
With media queries, you have to know the possible interplay
of all objects
With container queries, you only have to know the interplay
within a single object
No spec for container queries

Declare in: CSS, HTML, or JavaScript
https://github.com/ResponsiveImagesCG/cq-demos .element:media( min-width:500px ) {} https://github.com/tysonmatanich/elementQuery .element[min-width~="500px"] { background-color: #eee;
}
http://eqcss.github.io/eqcss/ @element ".element" and (min-width: 500px) { .element {
background: gold; } }
https://github.com/tysonmatanich/elementQuery .element[min-width~="400px"] { }
To parse CSS, either need to be on same domain
or set up CORS
https://github.com/Snugug/eq.js data-eq-pts="small: 400, medium: 600, large: 900"
At HTML level, requires consistency of implementation across app
We chose JavaScript
elements = [ { "module": ".flex--2x1", "className":"responsiveClass", "minWidth": 768, "maxWidth":
1024 } ]
Going Responsive meant a consistent feature set across all devices
New features automatically have cross-device support
Went responsive in under a month†

How? How?! How?!?!
None
There’s a discernible delay in execution
It’s not about the properties, it’s about the purpose.

Tried to use grid classes for everything
Had to write extra classes just to define responsive story
Single purpose classes resulted in less edge cases (and less
code!)
Gzip minimizes duplicate properties really well
Tables are difficult

Avoid too much on the horizontal axis

<div class="two-columns"> <div class="col1"> … </div> <div class="col2"> … </div>
</div>
.two-columns { display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; } .col1, .col2 {
flex-grow: 1; } .col1 { flex-basis: 66%; min-width: 360px; } .col2 { flex-basis: 33%; }
Demo Time
For Xero… time will tell.
Designers should think Responsive before they need to.
Container Queries enable faster development
Use techniques to avoid media or container queries altogether
