Modern CSS Tips and Tricks
So, what's new in CSS? Let's take a look at some of the coolest features available to web developers in 2024.
Aligned Content Property
The aligned content property is a game-changer. No longer do you need to use flexbox or grid to center a div. Just works in any block layer out.
@property Rule
The @property rule is part of CSS Houdini, allowing you to create variables in CSS. But that's not all - you can now give your variables a specific type, like number, color, or percentage, which makes your code safer and allows the browser to use that value in animations.
Starting Style
Starting style is another powerful new rule that allows you to define a style when an element is first rendered in a page. It's especially useful when you have something like a dialogue or popover that's hidden with display none.
Math Functions
CSS now supports additional math functions like round, rem, and mod. These functions allow you to perform complex calculations directly in CSS.
Light/Dark Mode
The light/dark mode feature allows you to easily write styles for both light and dark modes side by side. No more annoying code duplication!
User Valid/Invalid Pseudo Classes
The user valid and invalid pseudo classes trigger only after the user has interacted with a form, providing a better user experience with less code.

Interpolate Size
The interpolate size property allows you to animate properties that don't have an explicit size. This is especially useful for creating smooth animations when the user clicks to open or close a dropdown menu.
Conclusion
The new CSS logo is more than just a pretty face - it's a reminder that CSS is awesome when used with modern features. With these latest updates, web development just got a whole lot easier. Thanks for watching, and I'll see you in the next one!
