CSS Media Queries & Responsive Design Kya Hote Hain?

Introduction to Responsive Design

Responsive Web Design (RWD) ek aisi design approach hai jiska uddeshya hai ki ek website alag-alag devices (jaise desktop, tablet, aur mobile) par aasaani se use ki ja sake aur acchi dikhe. Iske liye flexible layouts, flexible images, aur CSS Media Queries ka use hota hai.

CSS Media Queries Kya Hain?

CSS Media Queries ek technique hai jo aapko specific conditions ke basis par CSS styles apply karne ki suvidha deti hai. Yeh conditions aamtaur par device ki screen width, height, ya orientation par based hoti hain.

Syntax:

@media media-type and (condition: value) {
  /* CSS rules yahan aayenge */
}

/* Example: Jab screen width 768px ya usse kam ho */
@media screen and (max-width: 768px) {
  body {
    background-color: lightblue;
  }
}

Breakpoints in Responsive Design

Breakpoints woh specific screen widths hote hain jahan par website ka layout change hota hai taaki content sahi se dikhe. For example, ek 3-column layout mobile par 1-column layout me badal jaata hai.

Yeh values fixed nahi hain, aap apne design ke hisab se breakpoints choose kar sakte hain.

Mobile-First vs. Desktop-First

Mobile-First Approach (Recommended)

Is approach me, hum pehle mobile devices ke liye default styles likhte hain aur fir min-width media queries ka use karke badi screens (tablets, desktops) ke liye styles add karte hain.

/* Default styles for mobile */
.container {
  width: 100%;
}

/* Styles for tablets and larger screens */
@media (min-width: 768px) {
  .container {
    width: 750px;
  }
}

Desktop-First Approach

Is approach me, hum pehle desktop ke liye styles likhte hain aur fir max-width ka use karke chhoti screens ke liye styles ko adjust ya override karte hain.

/* Default styles for desktop */
.container {
  width: 960px;
}

/* Styles for tablets and smaller screens */
@media (max-width: 992px) {
  .container {
    width: 100%;
  }
}
