CSS Reset

CSS resets are a foundational aspect of front-end development, ensuring consistency across different browsers and devices. In our projects, we utilize a specific CSS reset strategy to create a reliable and uniform baseline for styling.

Purpose of CSS Reset

A CSS reset mitigates the discrepancies between default styles provided by different browsers. By resetting these styles, we:

  • Ensure Consistency: Provide a consistent starting point across all browsers.
  • Reduce Browser Inconsistencies: Minimize the quirks and nuances of various browser default styles.
  • Improve Cross-Browser Compatibility: Make it easier to achieve the same look and feel regardless of the user’s browser.

Our CSS Reset

We use a global reset style, which is applied at the beginning of our global stylesheet. This reset includes:

/*
1. Use a more-intuitive box-sizing model.
*/
*,
*::before,
*::after {
box-sizing: border-box;
}
/*
2. Remove default margin
*/
* {
margin: 0;
}
/*
Typographic tweaks!
3. Add accessible line-height
4. Improve text rendering
*/
body {
line-height: 1.5;
-webkit-font-smoothing: antialiased;
}
/*
5. Improve media defaults
*/
img,
picture,
video,
canvas,
svg {
display: block;
max-width: 100%;
}
/*
6. Remove built-in form typography styles
*/
input,
button,
textarea,
select {
font: inherit;
}
/*
7. Avoid text overflows
*/
p,
h1,
h2,
h3,
h4,
h5,
h6 {
overflow-wrap: break-word;
}
/*
8. Create a root stacking context
*/
#root,
#__next {
isolation: isolate;
}
