A container is an element designed to contain page elements to a reasonable maximum width based on the size of a user's screen. This is useful to couple with other UI elements like grid or menu to restrict their width to a reasonable size for display.
Containers are designed to responsively adjust their maximum width based on the size of the screen on which they are appearing.
| Mobile | Tablet | Small Monitor | Large Monitor | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Width | 100% | 723px | 933px | 1127px |
| Gutter Size | 1em | Fluid | Fluid | Fluid |
| Variable | $largestMobileScreen |
$mobileBreakpoint |
$smallMonitorBreakpoint |
$largeMonitorBreakpoint |
| Device Width | below 768px | 768px - 991px | 992px - 1200px | above 1200px |
Since variations in Fomantic UI are only assigned in the scope of components, there are no "free floating" responsive class names, however some components include responsive variations to help ease responsive design. Grid for example, includes responsive classes for hiding or showing column, row based on device type.
Containers appear at the same width at each device size. This size is calculated programmatically by determining the maximum device width available within a device breakpoint, given a desired minimum gutter size.
For example to determine tablet container size the following formula is used:
This is the same as 768px - (14px * 2) - 17px or 723px (868px for wide variant)
Adjusting site breakpoints in site.variables to use custom values will automatically adjust container widths.
A standard container

A container can reduce its maximum width to more naturally accommodate a single column of text

A fluid container has no maximum width
Domestic dogs inherited complex behaviors, such as bite inhibition, from their wolf ancestors, which would have been pack hunters with complex body language. These sophisticated forms of social cognition and communication may account for their trainability, playfulness, and ability to fit into human households and social situations, and these attributes have given dogs a relationship with humans that has enabled them to become one of the most successful species on the planet today.
The dogs' value to early human hunter-gatherers led to them quickly becoming ubiquitous across world cultures. Dogs perform many roles for people, such as hunting, herding, pulling loads, protection, assisting police and military, companionship, and, more recently, aiding handicapped individuals. This impact on human society has given them the nickname "man's best friend" in the Western world. In some cultures, however, dogs are also a source of meat.
A container can be combined with a grid allowing you to use all of the layout and alignment available for grids including responsive patterns.
A container can be used inside of a menu to make sure menu items appear inline with page contents. Using responsive variations like stackable menu can help make contents adjust to different device sizes.
A container can be used with a segment
