Sizing

Easily make an element as wide or as tall (relative to its parent) with the width and height utilities.

Supported values

The sizing properties: width, height, minHeight, maxHeight, minWidth, and maxWidth are using the following custom transform function for the value:

function transform(value) {
  return value <= 1 && value !== 0 ? `${value * 100}%` : value;
}

If the value is between (0, 1], it's converted to percent. Otherwise, it is directly set on the CSS property.

Width 1/4
Width 300
Width 75%
Width 1
<Box sx={{ width: 1/4 }}> // Equivalent to width: '25%'
<Box sx={{ width: 300 }}> // Numbers are converted to pixel values.
<Box sx={{ width: '75%' }}> // String values are used as raw CSS.
<Box sx={{ width: 1 }}> // 100%

Max-width

The max-width property allows setting a constraint on your breakpoints. In this example, the value resolves to theme.breakpoints.values.md.

<Box sx={{ maxWidth: 'md' }}>
