– Box Model
The CSS box model is a container that contains multiple properties including borders, margin, padding, and the content itself.
– Position
The Position property sets how an element is positioned in a document. The top
, right
, bottom
, and left
properties determine the final location of positioned elements.
– Display
The Display property sets whether an element is treated as a block or inline element and the layout used for its children, such as flow layout, grid or flex.
– Flexbox
The Flex Box Module, usually referred to as flexbox, was designed as a one-dimensional layout model, and as a method that could offer space distribution between items in an interface and powerful alignment capabilities.
– Grid
CSS Grid Layout excels at dividing a page into major regions or defining the relationship in terms of size, position, and layer, between parts of a control built from HTML primitives.
– Pseudo Elements
A pseudo-element is a keyword added to a selector that lets you style a specific part of the selected element(s). For example, ::first-line
can be used to change the font of the first line of a paragraph.
– Pseudo Classes
A pseudo-class is a keyword added to a selector that specifies a special state of the selected element(s). For example, the pseudo-class :hover
can be used to select a button when a user’s pointer hovers over the button and this selected button can then be styled.
– Custom Properties
Custom properties (sometimes referred to as CSS variables or cascading variables) are entities defined by CSS authors that contain specific values to be reused throughout a document.
– Media Queries
Media queries allow you to apply CSS styles depending on a device’s general type (such as print vs. screen) or other characteristics such as screen resolution or browser viewport width.
– Animations
CSS animations make it possible to animate transitions from one CSS style configuration to another. Animations consist of two components, a style describing the CSS animation and a set of keyframes that indicate the start and end states of the animation’s style, as well as possible intermediate waypoints.
