When to use the min() or max() function
min() or max()? You always struggle to know which one to use and you end up trying both until one of them works.
💡 Here is a figure to help you decide when to use them
You start with clamp() then:
- when you remove max, you use
max() - when you remove min, you use
min()
If you want to set a max-width to your element then it's min()
width: clamp(min,100%,max) ➞ width: min(100%, max)
If you want to set a min value for font-size then it's max()
font-size: clamp(min,5vw,max) ➞ font-size: max(min, 5vw)
