Maybe important to mention that SCSS can get confused if it encounters a CSS min or max function because SASS has conflicting functions. For example min(200px, 80%) will cause a SASS units error. The trick is to capitalize: Min and Max so they are ignored by SASS (CSS is case insensitive)

I thought I was pretty good at CSS until I discovered your channel.

Whenever I have a issue with CSS or just want to learn a new property. I’m always so happy when I can find a video from Kevin explaining the subject! His a CSS magician ✨

Works in all modern Browser: font-size: calc([minimum size] + ([maximum size] - [minimum size]) * ((100vw - [minimum viewport width]) / ([maximum viewport width] - [minimum viewport width]))); e. g. font-size: calc(2.25rem + (36 - 20) * ((100vw - 300px) / (1600 - 300)));

Just love it! Great for replacing some media query. .row { width: clamp( min( 95%, 414px ), 80%, 1200px ); } Thanks Kevin for making us better devs.

Your channel is sooo nice !

I'm two weeks into seriously learning html and CSS and keep coming to your videos because they're awesome. You are one great teacher

This, I've dreamt about for so so long. Not back in '94 when I started coding HTML3.2, but it's definitely been years.

Really enjoy your videos. I spent most of my career from the 90's onward doing systems programming in C, C++ and Java, but now that the money is in front end, I'm digging all these modern toys and tooling.

I am absolutely baffled at the quality of content you put out, Kevin. Direct, crystal clear, practical videos of everything relevant. No BS. I have been working as a frontend developer for around 14 months now, and I stumbled on your channel while searching for Intersection Observers. Love the content! Subscribed to the channel and will sign up for the newsletter too. Thank you for your time and effort in giving back to the community. Much appreciated.

Oh boy, I have an itch to go back to all my projects and use this! Thank you for such a clear explanation!

Loved the usage of clamp() function with the font-size property and also learning about "vw" units. This is very handy and useful for web design. Thank you Kevin for this great video!

I guess you can never know it all when it comes to CSS, thanks Kevin, you are doing a great job.

Started coding websites professionally about two years back. Your videos really helped me out back then and still do today :)

I can't thank you enough kevin! I have learned so much about css and responsive design from your channel !! Your videos are gems!

OMG you SAVED ME. I'm just starting out but I wrote a webpage using TEN MEDIA QUERIES just to make the simple home page responsive and now with this I don't need a one. THANK YOU.

your channel is incredibly enllightening Kevin🤩

It's interesting... something that maybe wasn't clafiried it's about with the 'min' and 'max' functions as well as the clamp one. One of the both values must be a relative unit such as percentage or viewport. With the clamp function this concept is applied on the 'ideal' value. Thanks Kevin for all the information you share!

just before one hour, i wrote these line of code: width: max(min(10vw, 250px), 150px); because I had never heard from clamp() function! And after I watched your video, i realized that I can change this to clamp(). thanks 👍

Thank you Kevin! Always up-to-date 💪

KP you are really awesome.I am learning CSS from your channel.It helps me a lot .May you live long.Recently I have become your fan.pls keep this good work up.

Kevin, thanks so much for the great video!! I've recently started my web development journey and your channel has been a tremendous help. So much so that as I'm practicing my skills via KZfaq video projects or Udemy course projects I'm not following along entirely and instead am inserting some of the new, cool CSS properties like clamp(). Thanks again!!!

Amazing the amount of media queries you could potentially save to write ! Thanks for sharing

Amazing video! Kevin, you just don't stop amazing me with each video, love your work!!!!

Wow! This is literally something I could use ALL the time when writing CSS! Thanks 😁!

Clamp seriously saved me on this website I'm building right now! Thanks so much.

Absolute GOLD, font size responsiveness is just one of those things

Thank you for your valuable and amazing videos. Your videos helped me a lot since I have started programming.

You are awesome! I love your videos!

I used this a while ago and forgot about it. Thanks for reminding me. Also I didn't know you could give more than 2 values as arguments. That is pretty cool

I've only recently discovered your channel but DAMN, great content. Thank you and keep it coming!

9:28 this is why I watch your content and nothing else, you don't fail to address the minor details!

Thank you from Argentina, sir!

You taught me about clamp. Now I am a happy as a clam

Yea, you hoped I learnt something. I learnt that I'm still a newbie in css whenever I see your channel

You're the best!!! Thanks so much

I couldn't figure out why people were adding in 1em/rem/px for the middle value. Thank you so much!

Finally! I've been enlightened. Thank you, Kevin.

Man, this just helped me out sooooooo much. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I tried max and it works perfectly with both desktop and mobile. It is what I was looking for. thanks!

Ok, I think I need to binge your videos! Great CSS I've never seen before.

You won't believe I was looking for the exact thing today. Superb job. I am a new member of the house but I know there is a lot to learn.

One of the best and most useful videos you have ever made. Thanks a lot boss!!

This.is.INCREDIBLE

O my goddddd... Man great video... Helped me a lot

I think this will come in handy for a use-case I am planning. It is a cemetery layout with grid blocks for gravesites in which the text within each block as one zooms in or out stays readable and appropriately sized. I need to couple this idea with displaying alternative text and more/less text based on size too (last name of burial only to full name to name and dates, for example).

Thanks for this video Kevin, it was really really helpful😊

Awesome explanation!

Thank you Kevin, I should definitely give it a try. Maybe you could show the computed section from the dev tools to see how font-size is changing on real time

thank you for the video :) helped me with clamp alot.

I used vw unit pretty much for scaling font-sizing especially on a bigger. And on 12:15, I think it just not a good example of showing the sizing changes (except you use the computed tab -> font-size on the developer tools to inspect it). Because I believe it's actually changing but just not as much as we could see. And usually, you need to do a proportional ratio before using the vw unit for font-size. So my approach: 100 * (value) / (viewport resolution) Let's say you have a Figma design with 1440px screen and there's a 18px value for a font-size on a subtitle. Then it just would like this: 100 * 18 / 1440 = 1.25. There you go with font-size: 1.25vw; and remember to use a @media query with min-width: 1440px. This will fixed this exact issue on 15:54. Just try to zoom out your browser or try resizing it on whatever resolution, it would stay THE SAME as 18px would work on 1440px screen, but it's actually on larger screen. I've rarely use vw on smaller screen or mobile devices. But this still could work whatever you want. Just remember changes your design "preferred" viewport value (maybe for 768px or something should work good). And just for a quick note: Sometimes this maybe not an always go-to solution because there's some monitor like ultra wide exist here. So yeah, you still need to double check everything.

I used to do this with calc with a linear equation although I don't remember exactly what it was something like calc(vw*some small number + 16px) so 16 is the min and it can get bigger from there

The only time more than 2 values is useful is when the values are custom properties being set somewhere else such as in a separate class. e.g. min(var(--prop1, 999), var(--prop2, 999), var(--prop3, 999)) where prop1/2/3 are only set by a specific class

One way to deal about the calc() solution is to put more weight in the static part of the calculation: instead of doing (1wv + 0.25rem) you should try (0.25vw + 1rem). Try to find a good balance and you will find the solution for your element to fit every screen width. Of course using clamp() is the best solution. I'm only using it on the WordPress DIVI theme builder because it doesn't allow the min() max() clamp() to be use on inline CSS snippets (which sucks btw!!)

Your cheering voice is infectious

this is beautiful

Great video! This solved an issue I was having with a project I was working. :P

Best html/css teacher !

This video is amazing, I understood everything, THANK YOU

Oh... it wasn't fully supported until recently that explained a lot 🤣 I'm so used to those functions and never really checked since they are fairly common in many programming languages...

Loved this video. Thanks for the good content.

Grateful I found this one.

So cool, thank you Kevin

less than 5 min of the video I learn something nice

it's css vars, or wasm. Completely supported without any fanfare whatsoever. Although I never use a max body size for a website, because then on 2k/4k screens it can end up looking awful. You could use clamp for column size in css grids for auto column sizing. Great video man!

Wow. Thank you so much, you explain very well, so I have just subscribed!

I ran into a problem where when i do math inside the max or min, when i minimize the code to publish, the math breaks. Very cool tutorial, makes me want to take a better look at how this works.

Css is getting more exciting recently. I have not done much css work for a few years. On and off ... and each time i come here first to brush up on it. Thanks Kevin. Appreciate the videos. I have a request though. Could you make a video on using variable fonts reliably with fallbacks that make sense.

Great to know! I've always wished I could use min- and max- for font-sizes. Now I can use this! Thank you, Kevin!

thank you so much teacher you are awesome man

I've been waiting for this for years

Hi Kevin. I always learn something new from your vids and loved 'em! Can't wait to try clamp() on fonts. It'd be nice to see how to add proper fallbacks for them in next video :)

Great job, man! It's a great content and your work is very helpful. I just start do write my new Wordpress theme and I use some of your videos for my CSS optimizations, tips and tricks.

you singlehandedly saved me from losing many hours of sleep last night. thank you king

hi Kevin I recently found your channel and as I'm rookie to coding and building my own project I gave it a go to clamp() not only for font-size but also for margin and padding and I can say it works pretty good but I guess you already know about it :)

This is awesome, I'm gonna start using right now

You are awesome! Thanks and big love from Iran :)

Finally something that I've been searching since long time...

Thank you Awesome content as always

What a Awesome videos, Kevin. Thanks for your explain

the thing I do with responsive font sizes before clamp, was too do calc(Xpx + Yvw), so that the pixel size was a sort of "soft" clamp of as low as the font could go, and would grow to fit & when zoom adjusted.

I think I've grown as designer since I met your channel. Thank you!?

thanks for that! u r awesome! :)

This is great. I was using your calc() dynamic font-size trick, but I think I will default to this and have the calc as the fallback until mass support.

Thank you very much, very useful to know

thank u man. I appreciate u

Thanks Kevin, I can always count on you.

If anyone watching this in 2021, clamp is now supported everywhere!! Except for IE :D

hey, can you do videos about ( is() matches() any() and math() ). i love your videos, keep it up

Hi Kevin, Have you tried to set the html font size with clamp() and define all your site sizes (margins, font sizes, paddings...) with rem units? It makes all your web 100% responsive without using any media query! I used to redefine de html font size inside the media queries to scale the content according to the page width, but with clamp() I just don't need to do that anymore! Combined with the proper grid and flex properties, I'm able to have a nice responsive layout and get rid of media queries. Awesome! PS. Thanks a lot for all your content! I really appreciate your work. It's just brilliant and it helps a lot of people like me to become better frontend developers.

when I used min() in sass,, like for example: "width: min(1128px, 80%);" then unfortunately it says: "Internal Error: Incompatible units: '%' and 'px'."

That is absolutely incredible cool!!! This is exactly what I need right now. Last and this week. Thank you so much. (Went to change 25% of my code).

Hi, mr.Powell, I almost gave up using vw for text. It becomes unpredictable and terrible in ultrawide displays . You showed a very good way to use vw in text style. Thank you for this video.

This is excellent, thanks! :D

I usually write it the opposite width: 600px; max-width: 70%;

Wow this is very useful sir, thank you very much 👌

Great video, cool stuff. Definitely a step in the right direction. Better than just relying on media queries. Regarding its application for font size, I’d argue though that a person’s field of view doesn’t change according to a view port or container size. That said, there are still specific use cases for being able to dial the font size on a granular level, but I believe it’s not nearly as many as people think, or nearly as significant as people perceive it to be.

He is the css king of css battle.

4:24 "I like writing {LESS} if I can" 🙂

Mixing units of measure is more confusing than helpful in an educational video.
