Angular Containers

Containers are a fundamental building block of CoreUI for Angular. They contain, pad, and align your content within a given device or viewport.

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.

	Extra small <576px	Small ≥576px	Medium ≥768px	Large ≥992px	X-Large ≥1200px	XX-Large ≥1400px
`<c-container>`	100%	540px	720px	960px	1140px	1320px
`<c-container breakpoint="sm">`	100%	540px	720px	960px	1140px	1320px
`<c-container breakpoint="md">`	100%	100%	720px	960px	1140px	1320px
`<c-container breakpoint="lg">`	100%	100%	100%	960px	1140px	1320px
`<c-container breakpoint="xl">`	100%	100%	100%	100%	1140px	1320px
`<c-container breakpoint="xxl">`	100%	100%	100%	100%	100%	1320px
`<c-container fluid>`	100%	100%	100%	100%	100%	100%

Default container

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

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

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

@Component({
  selector: 'docs-containers01',
  templateUrl: './containers01.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./containers02.component.scss'],
  standalone: true,
  imports: [ContainerComponent]
})
export class Containers01Component {}

:host {
  c-container {
    margin-bottom: 1rem;
    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.

100% wide until small breakpoint

100% wide until medium breakpoint

100% wide until large breakpoint

100% wide until extra large breakpoint

100% wide until extra extra large breakpoint

<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>

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

@Component({
  selector: 'docs-containers02',
  templateUrl: './containers02.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./containers02.component.scss'],
  standalone: true,
  imports: [ContainerComponent]
})
export class Containers02Component {}

: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.

<c-container fluid>

</c-container>

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

@Component({
  selector: 'docs-containers03',
  templateUrl: './containers03.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./containers01.component.scss'],
  standalone: true,
  imports: [ContainerComponent]
})
export class Containers03Component {}

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