Missing the old style of podcast episodes where we ramble a bunch about technical stuff? Well, here's another!
We talk about some of the new CSS features that were standardized in 2023. These features can be a big help in your everyday CSS writing!
- Container queries: what are they and how are they different than regular media queries?
- New viewport units: s- d- l- prefixes for your vw or vh units. How do these differ from our regular vw and vh units? Also, no more jumping interfaces when scrolling on mobile!?
- Nesting in native CSS!? What does the syntax look like? Is SCSS now obsolete? (no, no it's not)
- Gap property for flexbox: a small change that prevents a lot of annoying side effects of having margin or padding for spacing child elements.
- Individual transform properties! No more "transform: translateX(50%) rotate(30deg) scale(1.2);" but now each property gets its own name, like: "translate: 50% 0; rotate: 30deg; scale: 1.2;". What does this mean for transitions? Are there any gotchas?
- The new ":has()" selector is here! What does it do and is it true you can select the parent of an element?
All this and more in this old school episode of ECC!
