From Viewport Monitoring to Component Responsiveness: The Resize Observer Era

As component-driven architecture becomes the standard, developers need ways to detect size changes at the element level rather than relying on global viewport signals.

This shift reflects a fundamental transition in modern web development—from viewport-centric thinking to component-centric design.
