Set viewport width where text starts to wrap

I'm looking for a way in CSS (or JS but preferably CSS) to define the breakpoint where text starts to wrap. I'm using React 17/CRA and CSS modules.
I have a React app that has a header bar with two pieces of content. On the left-hand side is the three-word title of the app in an h1 tag. On the right-hand side is the logged-in user's profile photo and name, composed of several elements within a span. If I narrow the viewframe, first the content overflows and then, if I narrow it more, the title of the app starts to wrap.
I would like the title to wrap before any overflow happens so all the content stays on the screen as long as possible. All the Googling I've done has only come up with info on overflow-wrap or word-break, which aren't what I'm looking for. The text is wrapping like I want it to, I'd just rather it did so sooner.
The code of my component is:
import React from 'react'
import anonymousAvatar from './anonymousAvatar.jpg'
import styles from './dashboardHeader.module.css'
const DashboardHeader ({data}) => (
<div className={styles.root}>
<div className={styles.bar}>
<span className={styles.headerContainer}>
<h1 className={styles.header}>Three Word Title</h1>
</span>
<span className={styles.profile}>
<div className={styles.profileText}>
<p className={styles.textTop}>{data.name}</p>
<p className={styles.textBottom}>{data.email}</p>
</div>
<img className={styles.avatar} src={data.image_url || anonymousAvatar} alt='User Avatar' referrerPolicy='no-referrer' />
</span>
</div>
</div>
)
export default DashboardHeader
The CSS module I currently have is:
.root {
position: fixed;
top: 0;
width: 100%;
}
.bar {
width: 100%;
height: 64px;
padding: 12px 16px;
background-color: #000;
color: #fff;
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
}
.headerContainer {
display: grid;
align-items: center;
}
.header {
font-family: 'Cinzel Decorative', sans-serif;
margin: 0;
font-size: 1.5rem;
}
.profile {
background-color: #000;
border: none;
display: grid;
align-items: center;
grid-template-columns: 2fr 1fr;
max-width: 30%;
cursor: pointer;
margin-right: 16px;
}
.profileText {
display: grid;
}
.textTop, .textBottom {
font-family: 'Quattrocento Sans', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
font-size: 1.025rem;
color: #fff;
text-align: right;
margin: auto 0;
}
.textTop {
margin-bottom: 2px;
}
.textBottom {
margin-top: 2px;
}
.avatar {
height: 64px;
width: 64px;
border-radius: 50%;
box-shadow: 0px 0px 12px #fff;
margin-left: 24px;
margin-right: 16px;
}
Here is the component at the full width of my laptop screen:
Here it is at an intermediate width:
And here it is at the very narrow width where the text finally starts to wrap (notice there is still overflow):

As noted in the comments you can simply change the width of the element at your desired breakpoint like in the top blue div of the example below. I'm using animations to help you visualize the results but you would decrease the width of the element in question at your media query breakpoint. I recommend this method because it doesn't require you to increase your HTML markup.
body, div, p, span {
display: flex; justify-content: center; align-items: center;
background-color: #eee;
font-family: Arial;
}
div {
justify-content: space-between;
transform: translateY( -5rem );
position: absolute;
width: 90%; height: 5rem;
padding: 1rem;
background-color: #222; color: #eee;
}
div, div:nth-of-type( 1 ) p:first-of-type {
animation-name: contract; animation-duration: 5s;
animation-timing-function: ease-in-out; animation-iteration-count: infinite;
}
div:nth-of-type( 2 ) {
transform: translateY( 5rem );
}
#keyframes contract { 100% { width: 25%; } }
p {
background-color: transparent;
text-transform: uppercase;
}
p:first-of-type {
font-size: 1.5rem; font-weight: bold;
}
span {
margin: 0.5rem;
border-radius: 50%;
width: 2.5rem; height: 2.5rem;
}
<style>
* {
box-sizing: border-box; padding: 0; margin: 0;
}
html, body {
height: 100%;
}
html {
font-size: 0.5rem;
}
div:nth-of-type( 1 ) p:first-of-type::before,
div:nth-of-type( 2 ) p:first-of-type::before {
content: 'wraps first';
position: absolute; top: -4rem;
border-radius: 1rem; padding: 1rem;
background-color: #07f; white-space: nowrap;
}
div:nth-of-type( 2 ) p:first-of-type::before {
content: 'wraps last';
top: auto; bottom: -4rem;
background-color: #f07;
}
</style>
<div>
<p>three word title</p>
<p>name <br> foo#gmail.com<span></span></p>
</div>
<div>
<p>three word title</p>
<p>name <br> foo#gmail.com<span></span></p>
</div>
I'm simply using the contract animation to manually decrease the width of the paragraph in the first div before it's width is forced smaller by its container. If this doesn't work in your particular setup you could use hidden <br> elements with display: none until your desired breakpoint to set them to block.

How to have a tab containing flexible height menu fixed at bottom of window and slide up on click using jQuery?

I tried coding it myself based on research on the internet. I was able to get it fixed at the bottom. When clicking, it does slide out the menu; but it slides out downwards when it should have pushed the tab upwards to display the menu. If I use negative margin and simply change bottom: -150 to bottom: 0px on click, it does produce the desired behavior by sliding it up from past the bottom of the window and it displays correctly. But it means the menu is pushing the page past the bottom of the page rather than simply being hidden. So when it's "hidden", one can simply scroll down and see the full menu which shouldn't be the case.
So rather than using bottom to manipulate it, I tried using $(this).show("slide"). The menu came out looking distorted thanks to using the sliding animation.
Here's the snippet:
var supTabState = false;
$("#dccontainer").css('bottom', '-150px');
$("#dcsupporttab").click(function() {
$('#dcsupportcontainer').slideToggle(500, function() {
//execute this after slideToggle is done
});
supTabState = !supTabState;
if (supTabState) {
// $("#dccontainer").css('bottom', '0px');
$(this).show("slide", {
direction: "down"
}, 1000);
} else {
// $("#dccontainer").css('bottom', '-150px');
$(this).show("slide", {
direction: "up"
}, 1000);
}
});
#dccontainer {
position: absolute;
bottom: 0;
width: 300px;
left: 50%;
height: 200px;
margin-left: -150px;
transition: .5s;
overflow: hidden;
}

I've tried various techniques. I've tried toggling with CSS alone using CSS animation and toggleClass, I've tried using slide, and I've tried using slideToggle. I also tried using display: block; instead of using flexbox. Both had the same effect. Researching the internet yielded several possible solutions (which I've tried, but all came out with the same result), and those usually weren't based on an element being fixed at bottom of window. The only one that came closest to what I was looking for was this:
http://atomicrobotdesign.com/blog_media/toggleslide_multiple.html
But strangely, when I attempted to use the same code that used, nothing happened. Clicking did not bring up the menu. I'm at a loss at this point. Where am I going wrong?
This is my latest attempt (using above code): https://codepen.io/doncullen/pen/JjdrxzY

To answer your question Where am I going wrong: you're specifying a fixed height of 200px on #dccontainer. Specifying a fixed height to the container renders the jQuery's slideToggle useless. jQuery's slideToggle animates the height of the given element, and in your case, you're animating #dcsupportcontainer. Even though you're animating the height of #dcsupportcontainer to 0px using slideToggle, the whole support block will still remain 200px in height. This causes makes the whole block not to move down when the #dcsupportcontainer is gone. You can, of course, manually calculate and assign the new bottom value to #dccontainer, but that's a real hassle and really unintuitive.
Not wanting to calculate the bottom value myself, I will not set a height to #dccontainer and just let its height be. It will set its height to all its children's requirements (the default value is auto). Furthermore, instead of using fixed, you used absolute. You should use fixed here as you want the support block to always be visible (even when the user scrolls down); this means that you should position it based on your viewport and not an element (read more about positioning here). I also did minor adjustments on your CSS styles so that it's a tad more concise. One last thing, I suggest that you revisit flexbox here and here to utilise it better.
Here's a working solution:
// First time accessing, hide the support buttons section
$('#dcsupportcontainer').hide()
$("#dcsupporttab").click(function() {
$('#dcsupportcontainer').slideToggle(500)
});
* {
box-sizing: border-box;
margin: 0;
}
body {
min-width: 100vw;
min-height: 100vh;
}
#dccontainer {
position: fixed;
left: 50%;
bottom: 0px;
transform: translateX(-50%);
display: flex;
flex-direction: column;
align-items: center;
width: 50vw;
min-width: 200px;
font-family: 'Roboto', 'Helvetica', 'Arial', 'sans-serif';
}
#dccontainer * {
padding: 7px 20px;
text-align: center;
}
#dcsupporttab {
font-weight: bold;
border-radius: 5px 5px 0 0;
background: #121212;
color: #ffffffee;
cursor: pointer;
}
#dcsupportcontainer {
border: 1px solid #121212;
border-radius: 5px;
}

Just take the fixed height from your main container #dccontainer, and everything will be fine. You should also remove a few lines of your javascript code to fix everything. That fixed height of dccontainer makes the whole nav to stand 200px up from the bottom of your page and that makes you use more jQuery to fix it at the bottom. Remember that the bottom: 0px will set the bottom of your element at the 0px bottom of its container.
$("#dcsupporttab").click(function() {
$('#dcsupportcontainer').slideToggle(500, function() {
//execute this after slideToggle is done
});
});

expand and change images on hover within a 3 image panel section

I have a 3 panel image section (section 1, 2 and 3) - on hover over section 1 for example, I would like for the original bg to fade out while a new bg fades in while simultaneously growing to the full length of the section "overlapping" the other sections. Once this section is full width I would like to be able to hover over section two and the same process occur without having to actually move the mouse out of the section area first.
I have managed to get to a point where the section expands and the image changes over, however, once say section 1 is expanded - it occupies the full width of the section so hovering over section 2 does not trigger the hover animation for section 2. Instead I have to move the mouse so that it is outside of the section and re-enter over section 2 to begin that animation.
Its probably easier to see so attached is a jsfiddle in addition to the code below.

The issue I am having then I guess is that because whichever section you initially hover over takes up the full width of the container so that when section 1 is expanded, although I am hovered over section 2 or 3 it is still technically section 1 since it is full-width. Is there anyway around this so that I can trigger the other animations when I hover over the respective sections? Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you
edit: for a bit of clarification of what an ideal end would like look, I was inspired by the image section on basicagency.com near the end of the homepage.

One thing I did notice is that with the initial it appears that there are only 3 's and there should be 4 's before the next section begins. This may be helpful to try.

The elements in your <header> element a floated and so the menu doesn't know where the element stops and this causes CSS to not know how to compute the height of that element
A quick fix to that would be to put overflow: hidden:
<header style="overflow: auto"> ... </header>
You can learn a lot about this from this elaborated StackOverflow answer link to answer

i have add overflow: auto on my header it s works but i can t fixe the menu panel too when i click on the button menu toggle , the text go right and i can t see him.
i think i have a problem with my "float: right" in the class .menu-toggle ;
the text isn't show in the mobile display, he go to the right and he dont take the good place...
i want to place the menu panel one below the other

You just need to set the width of the inner DIVs:
#facebook-div, #youtube-div, #instagram-div {
float: left;
margin: 0px;
width: 33.33%;
}
DEMO

The html given by you is not valid
</div>
</footer>
(the second last line: the div is not needed/invalid).
I made a fiddle, with 33% width for divs. Does this do what you want?
#facebook-div, #youtube-div, #instagram-div {
float: left;
margin: 0px;
width: 33%;
}

.footerMain > div {
width: 33%;
float: left;
}
That would be the most basic way, based on the markup you provided.

UPDATED
Make it like this http://jsfiddle.net/detezp42/2/
The CSS
*{
margin: 0px;
box-sizing: border-box;
-webkit-box-sizing:border-box;
-moz-box-sizing:border-box;
}
.footerMain {
width: 100%;
background-color: green;
clear: both;
border: solid 2px;
display: block;
overflow: hidden;
}
#facebook-div, #youtube-div, #instagram-div {
float: left;
margin: 0px;
width: 33.33%;
}
.footerMain div a {
display: inline-block;
background-color: red;
text-align: center;
width:100%;
padding: 20px 0px;
}
footer p {
text-align: center;
clear: both;
background-color: darkgreen;
}
