Responsive content

On small screens, the container is the width of the screen. On large screens, it centers the content with a max-width of 800px.

import { Box, Container, Flex, Text } from 'gestalt';

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <Flex
      alignItems="center"
      height="100%"
      justifyContent="center"
      width="100%"
    >
      <Box
        color="secondary"
        height="100%"
        paddingX={3}
        paddingY={6}
        width="100%"
      >
        <Container>
          <Box color="default" padding={3}>
            <Text>Centered content</Text>
          </Box>
        </Container>
      </Box>
    </Flex>
