query
A utility function for composing an inline media query string in CSS.
Specification
The query function is great for a shorthand declaration of inline media query in CSS. This function support the same call signature as the useResponsiveQuery hook, but unlike the mentioned hook it returns a plain media query string:
1
query({ from: 'md' })
2
// (min-width: 768px)
Copied!
The main purpose of this utility function is to align your inline media queries declarations with the list of defined breakpoints in Atomic Layout, making those a source of truth for both React and non-react usage of responsive behavior.
Example
Exact breakpoint
1
import styled from 'styled-components'
2
import { query } from 'atomic-layout'

  font-size: 14px;
6

  @media ${query({ for: 'lg' })} {
9
    font-size: 16px;
