Fancy Media Queries with some LESS Magic

Question

It would be nice to wrap css-styles for different resolutions within some css-classes using less.

I\'d like to do something like:

footer {
  width: 1

+1 for Nguyen and Yancey - and one more addition.

If you want explicit definition of the widths, you can accomplish that with string interpolation and variables for your breakpoints. Here for example with those of bootstrap - the strict rules are to prevent definition overlapping.

@screen-xs-min:     480px;
@screen-sm-min:     768px;
@screen-md-min:     992px;
@screen-lg-min:     1200px;

@screen-xs-max:     (@screen-sm-min - 1);
@screen-sm-max:     (@screen-md-min - 1);
@screen-md-max:     (@screen-lg-min - 1);

@phone:             ~"only screen and (max-width: @{screen-xs-min})";
@phone-strict:      ~"only screen and (min-width: @{screen-xs-min}) and (max-width: @{screen-xs-max})";
@tablet:            ~"only screen and (min-width: @{screen-sm-min})";
@tablet-strict:     ~"only screen and (min-width: @{screen-sm-min}) and (max-width: @{screen-sm-max})";
@desktop:           ~"only screen and (min-width: @{screen-md-min})";
@desktop-strict:    ~"only screen and (min-width: @{screen-md-min}) and (max-width: @{screen-md-max})";
@large:             ~"only screen and (min-width: @{screen-lg-min})";

footer{
    width: 100%;
    @media @tablet {
        width: 768px;
    }
    @media @desktop {
        width: 940px;
    }
}
