[css-sizing-4] 'screen' or 'viewport' as possible value for aspect-ratio

[Th3S4mur41]

The current specification for aspect-ratio allows explicit ratios, or the "natural" aspect ratio from a replaced element. There is however no way to follow the viewport's aspect-ratio.

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to do something like aspect-ratio: screen?

Not sure if screen or viewport would be the best value here though?!

What would be the use cases for having an aspect ratio of the screen or the viewport?

Why not aspect-ratio: calc(1vw / 1vh)?

Why not aspect-ratio: calc(1vw / 1vh)?

And even more so with the new dv* & sv* units? #4329 (comment) / #6113 (comment)

@SebastianZ I was thinking about different art direction scenarios... A bit like with the element.I wanted to create a page with various element following the viewport size as a direction to keep a kind of visual constant.

Closing out as a solved question via #6392 (comment) Lmk if this is unsatisfactory. :)
