Angular Containers

How they work

Containers are the most basic layout element in CoreUI for Angular and are required when using our default grid system. Containers are used to contain, pad, and (sometimes) center the content within them. While containers can be nested, most layouts do not require a nested container.

CoreUI for Angular comes with three different containers:

• c-container, which sets a max-width at each responsive breakpoint
• c-container fluid, which has width: 100% at all breakpoints
• c-container { sm|md|lg|xl|xxl }, with width: 100% until the specified breakpoint

The table below illustrates how each container’s max-width compares to the original c-container and c-container fluid across each breakpoint.

Default container

Our default c-container class is a responsive, fixed-width container, meaning its max-width changes at each breakpoint.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { ContainerComponent } from '@coreui/angular';

@Component({
  selector: 'docs-containers-default',
  templateUrl: './containers-default.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./containers-default.component.scss'],
  imports: [ContainerComponent]
})
export class ContainersDefaultComponent {}

<c-container>
  Content here...
</c-container>

:host {
  c-container {
    background-color: var(--cui-light);
  }
}

Responsive containers

Responsive containers allow you to specify a class that is 100% wide until the specified breakpoint is reached, after which we apply max-width for each of the higher breakpoints. For example, c-container sm is 100% wide to start until the sm breakpoint is reached, where it will scale up with md, lg, xl, and xxl.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { ContainerComponent } from '@coreui/angular';

@Component({
  selector: 'docs-containers-responsive',
  templateUrl: './containers-responsive.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./containers-responsive.component.scss'],
  imports: [ContainerComponent]
})
export class ContainersResponsiveComponent {}

<c-container breakpoint="sm">
  100% wide until small breakpoint
</c-container>
<c-container breakpoint="md">
  100% wide until medium breakpoint
</c-container>
<c-container breakpoint="lg">
  100% wide until large breakpoint
</c-container>
<c-container breakpoint="xl">
  100% wide until extra large breakpoint
</c-container>
<c-container breakpoint="xxl">
  100% wide until extra extra large breakpoint
</c-container>

:host {
  c-container {
    margin-bottom: 1rem;
    background-color: var(--cui-light);
  }
}

Fluid containers

Use c-container fluid for a full width container, spanning the entire width of the viewport.

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { ContainerComponent } from '@coreui/angular';

@Component({
  selector: 'docs-containers-fluid',
  templateUrl: './containers-fluid.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./containers-fluid.component.scss'],
  imports: [ContainerComponent]
})
export class ContainersFluidComponent {}

<c-container fluid>
  Content here...
</c-container>

:host {
  c-container {
    background-color: var(--cui-light);
  }
}
