responsive design media query breakpoints code example

Example 1: bootstrap media query breakpoints

// Extra small devices (portrait phones, less than 576px)
@media (max-width: 575.98px) { ... }

// Small devices (landscape phones, 576px and up)
@media (min-width: 576px) and (max-width: 767.98px) { ... }

// Medium devices (tablets, 768px and up)
@media (min-width: 768px) and (max-width: 991.98px) { ... }

// Large devices (desktops, 992px and up)
@media (min-width: 992px) and (max-width: 1199.98px) { ... }

// Extra large devices (large desktops, 1200px and up)
@media (min-width: 1200px) { ... }

Example 2: media query breakpoints

// Best Practice suggests
// keep default style for smallest screen size (portrait mobile, below 576px)
// and then proceed in assending order with media query like below

// Small devices (landscape phones, 576px and above till next break point)
@media (min-width: 576px) { ... }

// Medium devices (tablets, 768px and above till next break point)
@media (min-width: 768px) { ... }

// Large devices (desktops, 992px and above till next break point)
@media (min-width: 992px) { ... }

// so on ...
