Responsive Breakpoints
Breakpoints are customizable widths that determine how your responsive layout and components behave across device screens or viewport sizes in Phenix Design System.
Core concepts
- Breakpoints are the building blocks of responsive design. Use them to control when your layout can be adapted to a particular viewport or device size.
- Use media queries to architect your CSS by breakpoint. Media queries are a feature of CSS that allows you to conditionally apply styles based on a set of browser and operating system parameters. We most commonly use
min-width
in our media queries. - Mobile-first, responsive design is the goal. Phenix’s CSS aims to apply the bare minimum of styles to make a layout work at the smallest breakpoint, and then layers on styles to adjust that design for larger devices. This optimizes your CSS, improves rendering time, and provides a great experience for your visitors.
Available breakpoints
Phenix includes ten default breakpoints, for building responsive layouts and components. two breakpoints for each set of screen size’s start point of the set and the end point of set and These breakpoints can be customized from Sass files
Breakpoint | Class infix | Start point | Endpoint |

Small | sm | 576px | 700px |
Medium | md | 768px | 1100px |
Large | lg | 1200px | 1366px |
xLarge | xl | 1400px | 2560px |
