The min-block-size property in CSS is used to create the minimum horizontal or vertical size of an element. If the writing direction is horizontal then min-block-size is equivalent to min-height property, and if it is in vertical mode then equal to min-width property.
Syntax:
min-block-size: length| percentage| auto| none| min-content|
max-content| fit-content| inherit| initial| unset;Property values:
- length: It sets a fixed value defined in px, cm, pt etc. Negative values are also allowed. Its default value is 0px.
- percentage (%): It is the same as length but the size is set in term of percentage of the window size.
- auto: It is used when it is desired that the browser determines the block-size.
- none: It is used when you don’t want to limit on the size of the box.
- max-content: It is used when you preferred min-width on the size of the box.
- min-content: It is used when you preferred min-width on the size of the box.
- fit-content: It is used when you preferred exact-width on the size of the box.
- initial: It is used to set the value of the min-block-size property to its default value.
- inherit: It is used when it is desired that the element inherits the min-block-size property from its parent element.
- unset: It is used to unset the default mix-block-size.
