This article will introduce you to the new CSS feature contain, and introduce how to control page redrawing and reflowing. It has certain reference value. Friends in need can refer to it. I hope it will be helpful to everyone.
Before introducing the new CSS property contain
, readers first need to understand what page redrawing and reflowing are.
OK, let’s get to the main topic of this article.
contain
Why? The contain
attribute allows us to specify a specific DOM element and its child elements so that they can be independent of the entire DOM tree structure. The purpose is to give the browser the ability to redraw and rearrange only some elements without having to target the entire page every time.
The contain property allows an author to indicate that an element and its contents are, as much as possible, independent of the rest of the document tree. This allows the browser to recalculate layout, style, paint, size, or any combination of them for a limited area of the DOM and not the entire page.
contain
SyntaxLook at its syntax:
{ /* No layout containment. */ contain: none; /* Turn on size containment for an element. */ contain: size; /* Turn on layout containment for an element. */ contain: layout; /* Turn on style containment for an element. */ contain: style; /* Turn on paint containment for an element. */ contain: paint; /* Turn on containment for layout, paint, and size. */ contain: strict; /* Turn on containment for layout, and paint. */ contain: content; }
Except none
, there are still 6 values, let’s take a look one by one.
contain: size: The rendering of an element set to contain: size
will not be affected by the content of its child elements.
The value turns on size containment for the element. This ensures that the containing box can be laid out without needing to examine its descendants.
I was confused when I started to see this definition, It’s hard to understand what it means just by looking at the definition. Still need to practice:
Suppose we have the following simple structure:
<div class="container"> </div>
.container { width: 300px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid red; } p { border: 1px solid #333; margin: 5px; font-size: 14px; }
And, with the help of jQuery, each click on the container adds a <p>Coco</p>
Structure:
$('.container').on('click', e => { $('.container').append('<p>Coco</p>') })
Then you will get the following result:
You can see that the height of the container .container
will change with It increases with the increase of elements, which is a normal phenomenon.
At this moment, we add a contain: size
to the container .container
, and the above mentioned will appear: setcontain: The rendering of an element of size
will not be affected by the contents of its child elements.
.container { width: 300px; padding: 10px; border: 1px solid red; + contain: size }
Let’s see what happens:
Normally, the height of the parent element will be increased due to the increase in child elements, but now , changes in child elements no longer affect the style layout of the parent element. This is the role of contain: size
.
Let’s talk about contain: style
, contain: layout
, contain: paint
. Let’s look at contain: style first.
As of the writing of this article, contain: style
has been temporarily removed.
CSS Containment Module Level 1: Drop the at-risk “style containment” feature from this specification, move it Level 2.
Well, the official saying is that it has been temporarily removed because of certain risks. It may be redefined in the second version of the specification, so let’s leave this attribute aside for now.
contain: paint: The element with contain: paint
is set to have layout restrictions, which means to inform the User Agent that this element The child elements of will not be displayed outside the bounds of this element, so if the element is not on the screen or is otherwise set to be invisible, its descendants are also guaranteed to be invisible and not rendered.
This value turns on paint containment for the element. This ensures that the descendants of the containing box don't display outside its bounds, so if an element is off-screen or otherwise not visible, its descendants are also guaranteed to be not visible.
This is a little easier to understand. Let’s look at the first feature first:
contain: paint
set are not Will be displayed outside the bounds of this elementcontain: paint
will not be displayed outside the bounds of this elementThis feature is somewhat similar to overflow: hidden
, which means that the user agent is clearly informed that the content of the sub-element will not exceed the boundary of the element, so the excess part does not need to be rendered.
Simple example, assuming the element structure is as follows:
<div class="container"> <p>Coco</p> </div>
.container { contain: paint; border: 1px solid red; } p{ left: -100px; }
Let’s take a look at what will happen when contain: paint
is set and not set:
CodePen Demo -- contain: paint Demo
contain: paint
的元素在屏幕之外时不会渲染绘制通过使用 contain: paint
, 如果元素处于屏幕外,那么用户代理就会忽略渲染这些元素,从而能更快的渲染其它内容。
contain: layout:设定了 contain: layout
的元素即是设定了布局限制,也就是说告知 User Agent,此元素内部的样式变化不会引起元素外部的样式变化,反之亦然。
This value turns on layout containment for the element. This ensures that the containing box is totally opaque for layout purposes; nothing outside can affect its internal layout, and vice versa.
启用 contain: layout
可以潜在地将每一帧需要渲染的元素数量减少到少数,而不是重新渲染整个文档,从而为浏览器节省了大量不必要的工作,并显着提高了性能。
使用 contain:layout
,开发人员可以指定对该元素任何后代的任何更改都不会影响任何外部元素的布局,反之亦然。
因此,浏览器仅计算内部元素的位置(如果对其进行了修改),而其余DOM保持不变。因此,这意味着帧渲染管道中的布局过程将加快。
描述很美好,但是在实际 Demo 测试的过程中(截止至2021/04/27,Chrome 90.0.4430.85),仅仅单独使用 contain:layout
并没有验证得到上述那么美好的结果。
设定了 contain: layout
的指定元素,改元素的任何后代的任何更改还是会影响任何外部元素的布局,点击红框会增加一条 <p>Coco<p>
元素插入到 container
中:
简单的代码如下:
<div class="container"> <p>Coco</p> ... </div> <div class="g-test"></div>
html, body { width: 100%; height: 100%; display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center; flex-direction: column; gap: 10px; } .container { width: 150px; padding: 10px; contain: layout; border: 1px solid red; } .g-test { width: 150px; height: 150px; border: 1px solid green; }
CodePen Demo -- contain: layout Demo
目前看来,contain: layout
的实际作用不那么明显,更多的关于它的用法,你可以再看看这篇文章:CSS-tricks - contain
这两个属性稍微有点特殊,效果是上述介绍的几个属性的聚合效果:
contain: strict
:同时开启 layout、style、paint 以及 size 的功能,它相当于 contain: size layout paint
contain: content
:同时开启 layout、style 以及 paint 的功能,它相当于 contain: layout paint
所以,这里也提一下,contain 属性是可以同时定义几个的。
截止至 2021-04-27,Can i Use 上的 CSS Contain 兼容性,已经可以开始使用起来:
好了,本文到此结束,希望对你有帮助 :)
