Few Important Examples of Vh

Below are few of the important and best examples of vh use in web designing and development:

Example 1: Creating a Full-Screen Hero Section

Scenario: You want a hero section to always fill the entire height of the browser window, regardless of the content within it.

CSS:

.hero {
  height: 100vh; /* Takes up 100% of the viewport height */
  background-image: url("hero-image.jpg");
  background-size: cover;
  display: flex; /* For centering content */
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  color: white;
}

Explanation: 100vh ensures that the .hero element always occupies the full viewport height. Even if the content inside the hero section is shorter than the viewport, the hero section will stretch to fill the screen. This is a common technique for creating visually impactful hero sections.

Example 2: Creating a Sticky Footer

Scenario: You want a footer to always stick to the bottom of the viewport, even if the content on the page is short.

CSS:

body {
  display: flex;
  flex-direction: column;
  min-height: 100vh; /* Ensure body takes full viewport height */
}

main { /* Or your main content area */
  flex: 1; /* Allows main content to expand and fill available space */
}

footer {
  height: 50px; /* Fixed height for the footer */
  background-color: #333;
  color: white;
  text-align: center;
  padding: 10px;
}

Explanation: This layout technique uses flexbox to achieve the sticky footer effect.

1. display: flex and flex-direction: column on the body make it a flex container with a vertical layout.
2. min-height: 100vh on the body ensures that the body element always takes up the full viewport height.
3. flex: 1 on the main content area allows it to expand and fill the available space between the header (if you have one) and the footer.
4. The footer has a fixed height.

Because the body is at least 100vh, the footer will always be at the bottom of the viewport. If the content is longer than the viewport, the footer will simply flow below the content as usual.
