  1. Good article. However, this doesn’t adhere to the principle of DRY (Do not Repeat Yourself). Creating a separate component for each viewport is far from ideal and doesn’t scale well. Consider using only one component and one stylesheet that contains each viewport’s styles nested under the corresponding media query. The mobile styles should be applied first and progressively overwritten by the styles for larger viewports because those devices are typically more powerful. If it’s very important for you not to load unnecessary styles then you can dynamically import the correct stylesheet based on the viewport into one component.
