CSS view(): A New Era of Responsive Design Without Media Queries
🧩 What is the view() Function?
The view() CSS function is a new and powerful way to create responsive designs without needing media queries. It works similarly to clamp(), but with even more flexibility for scaling elements based on the size of the viewport.
📐 Syntax
view(clamp, min, ideal, max)
