I have personally made use of a few different things ranging from media queries directly in whatever CSS you've written or a library like react-responsive which makes it much easier to render (or not render) specific UI based on whatever screen size your app is currently being rendered on using conditional rendering. If you're using a UI library like Material UI, it most likely already has a hook for managing the content size based on the size of the media that you can use. See Material UI: useMediaQuery.
