A minimal container query web component

By Scott Jehl

This c-q custom element enables very simple "min-width" container queries, allowing you to adjust its CSS based on its own rendered width instead of viewport width.

1. Wrap a <c-q></c-q> element around your HTML and add any classes or attributes you might need to it, such as <c-q class="my-content"></cq>.
2. Load the JavaScript module <script src="path-to/cq.js" type="module"></script>
3. Start writing the CSS...

To use, set a given c-q's --breakpoints; custom CSS property to one or more pixel-based breakpoint widths that the JS should be aware of, like this:

c-q { --breakpoints: "400 600 800"; }

One or more of these values will appear in the element's data-min-width attribute when they are greater or equal to the element's rendered width. You can style the element based on their presence using the ~= attribute selector, like this:

c-q[data-min-width~="400"] { background: green; }
