Wow, thanks for breaking that down, you made it easier to understand, I liked when you typed in the clamp parameter meanings (min, pref , max), it helps visualize and understand what's going on

[@martyjwalker]

I have also seen other videos, but your method is easier to understand. Please share the standard clamp formula for h1, h2, and other tags?

When converting Figma UI into React, would pref (min, pref , max) be the actual font sizes or width specified??

Hi, what's this "browser" on the left side of the screen (I can't find out)? I didn't know about the clamp functionality (newbie), your explanation helps a lot. I just try to find my way into Bootstrap Studio. Thanks & regards

[@video724de]

I found the answer myself - it's simple. It's Google's Chrome browser. I had no need to use it before. Other browsers have comparable abilities (Safari, Firefox), but it seems easier (to me) to use Chrome for this task.

[@deeecode]

You're welcome! Actually it's Edge I'm using

[@rg-web-design]

Great insight, thanks. I have a logo which the client wants to keep consistent to screen sizes, so I've used VW for the logo size. At 1100px viewport, the logo is 8vw, but down at 380px viewport, the logo size is 22vw. Is there a way to 'clamp' or 'calc' this so the vw increases as the viewport decreases? (I'm a total newbie with CSS). Thanks.

[@deeecode]

If I get your question correctly, I think your solution here might still be clamp by doing something like clamp(minsize, 7vw, maxsize), you're able to ensure that the size of the logo never goes below minsize, and never goes above maxsize i don't think you can do a "if viewport increases, decrease the element, but if viewport decreases, increase the element" without javascript involved does this help?

[@rg-web-design]

@@deeecode Thank for taking a look. I almost have this but it does jump on tablet sizes. Please give it a go and have a look. clamp(12vw, 12vw - 0.8vw, 5vw)

[@rg-web-design]

@@deeecode The best way I can describe this is a 'reverse clamp'; Let's say on desktop I have an image which is 10vw. But on mobile, 10vw is too small. So on mobile I need the image to be 20vw. An increase from 10vw to 20vw as the screen gets smaller.

[@50mm_]

Excellent. I wonder when it will be adopted in tailwind…

[@deeecode]

I don't know tailwind enough to answer this soorry

[@samgenerals4320]

What about columns and rows..?? Can clamp be used for anything else apart from fonts..??

[@arrezbrayan]

Yes you can using it for padding height width
