Question 1

Fluidity vs Bootstrap for lightweight projects

Accepted Answer

Fluidity is drastically smaller at 247 bytes versus Bootstrap's hundreds of KB, making it ideal for performance-critical sites. However, Bootstrap includes pre-styled components, while Fluidity only ensures responsiveness, so you'll need to write all your own CSS.

Question 2

How to handle images with Fluidity?

Accepted Answer

Fluidity doesn't provide specific image handling; it focuses on making HTML elements responsive. For images, use native CSS like 'max-width: 100%' or add custom styles to ensure they scale properly within the fluid layout.

Question 3

Is Fluidity compatible with CSS Grid?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Fluidity is compatible with CSS Grid as it's just a minimal CSS overlay. It doesn't interfere with modern layout techniques, so you can use CSS Grid or Flexbox alongside it for more complex designs.

Question 4

How to customize the overflow-container class in Fluidity?

Accepted Answer

You can customize it by modifying the source Sass files or overriding the CSS in your own stylesheets. The README shows it's used for tables, but you can extend it for other wide elements as needed.

Question 5

Does Fluidity support dark mode or theming?

Accepted Answer

No, Fluidity doesn't include any theming or dark mode support. It's a bare-bones framework for responsiveness only, so you'll need to implement styling and themes manually using custom CSS.

Question 6

What browsers does Fluidity support?

Accepted Answer

The README doesn't specify browser support, but since it uses basic CSS properties, it should work in all modern browsers. For legacy support, the included Gulp tasks can add prefixes with Autoprefixer.

Question 7

How to use Fluidity with a JavaScript framework like React?

Accepted Answer

Simply include the Fluidity CSS file in your project's HTML or import it in your build process. It's just CSS, so add the 'overflow-container' class to components as needed for responsive tables or other elements.
