public class Container extends StyledElement<Container>
A centered container with configurable maximum width for constraining page content.

Container provides a max-width constraint with automatic horizontal centering, commonly used to prevent content from stretching too wide on large screens. It includes predefined size presets matching common breakpoint conventions.

Size Presets:

Usage:


 // Default container (LG - 1024px)
 Container container = new Container();
 container.addElement(content);

 // Small container for narrow content
 Container narrow = new Container(Container.Size.SM);
 narrow.addElement(articleText);

 // Container with horizontal padding
 Container padded = new Container(Container.Size.XL);
 padded.setPaddingX("1rem");

 // Custom max-width
 Container custom = new Container("900px");
