Container

Containers are used to constrain a content's width to the current breakpoint, while keeping it fluid.

Import

import { CContainer } from '@chakra-ui/vue-next'

Usage

To contain any piece of content, wrap it in the CContainer component.

There are many benefits to a joint design and development system. Not only does it bring benefits to the design team, but it also brings benefits to engineering teams. It makes sure that our experiences have a consistent look and feel, not just in our design specs, but in production

Container Size

By default, the CContainer component sets the max-width of the content to 60 characters (60ch) but you can customize this by passing custom max-width values or changing the size tokens.

  • About the default value: The ch unit is a relative unit defined by the rendered typeface's "0" character width. This width varies by the shape and style of the font.
  • If you are curious about the reason for this default value of 60 characters, consider this explanation about line length from Better Web Type.
"md" Container
"550px" Container
"container.sm" Container 
<CVStack w="2xl" align-items="center">    <CContainer max-w='md' bg='blue.600' color='white'>        "md" Container
    </CContainer>    <CContainer max-w='550px' bg='purple.600' color='white'>        "550px" Container
    </CContainer>    <CContainer max-w='container.sm' bg='green.400' color='#262626'>        "container.sm" Container
    </CContainer></CVStack>

Centering the children

In some cases, the width of the content can be smaller than the container's width. You can use the center-content prop to center the content. It renders a flexbox with flex-direction set to column and align-items set to center.
