In Next.js, you can use the useWindowSize hook to make your font sizes responsive based on the window size. To achieve this, you'll typically need to calculate the font size dynamically based on the window dimensions. Here's a step-by-step guide:

  1. Install the react-use library, which provides a useWindowSize hook.

    bash
    npm install react-use

    or

    bash
    yarn add react-use
  2. Create a custom hook to manage your responsive font size.

    jsx
    // utils/hooks.js import { useWindowSize } from 'react-use'; export const useResponsiveFontSize = () => { const { width } = useWindowSize(); // Define your font size calculation logic based on the window width const calculateFontSize = () => { // Adjust this logic based on your design requirements return Math.min(16, width / 50); // Example: Font size increases as the window width increases }; const fontSize = calculateFontSize(); return { fontSize }; };
  3. Use the custom hook in your component.

    3. Use the custom hook in your component.

      jsx
      // components/ResponsiveText.js import React from 'react'; import { useResponsiveFontSize } from '../utils/hooks'; const ResponsiveText = ({ children }) => { const { fontSize } = useResponsiveFontSize(); return <p style={{ fontSize: `${fontSize}px` }}>{children}</p>; }; export default ResponsiveText;
  5. Integrate the ResponsiveText component into your pages.

    jsx
    // pages/index.js import React from 'react'; import ResponsiveText from '../components/ResponsiveText'; const Home = () => { return ( <div> <h1>Responsive Font Size Example</h1> <ResponsiveText>This text has a responsive font size.</ResponsiveText> </div> ); }; export default Home;

Now, when you use the ResponsiveText component, it will automatically adjust the font size based on the window dimensions. Adjust the calculation in the useResponsiveFontSize hook according to your design needs.
