Container

Containers are used to constrain a content's width to the current breakpoint, while keeping it fluid.

By default, it sets the max-width of the content to 60 characters (60ch) but you can customize this by passing custom maxWidth values or changing the container size tokens defined in theme.sizes.container.

Container Size#

To set the size of a Container, use the maxW attribute.

<VStack>
<Container maxW="container.xl">Extra-Large Container</Container>
<Container maxW="container.lg">Large Container</Container>
<Container maxW="container.md">Medium Container</Container>
<Container maxW="container.sm">Small Container</Container>
</VStack>

Centering the children#

In some cases, the width of the content can be smaller than the container's width, you can use the centerContent prop to center the content.

<Container maxW="xl" centerContent>
<Box padding="4" bg="gray.100" maxW="3xl">
