      min-content

      The CSS min-content is a value that can be used for sizing properties to specify the minimum size of a box or element based on its content.
      It specifically suggests that text content will make use of soft-wrapping opportunities, which enable the material to resize to the length of its longest word. The min-content value is calculated based on the intrinsic minimum size required by the content inside the box.

      Syntax

      /* Used as a length */
      width: min-content;
      inline-size: min-content;
      height: min-content;
      block-size: min-content;
      /* Used in grid tracks */
      grid-template-columns: 100px 2fr min-content;
