Usage

Check out how to include Origami components in your project to get started with o-normalise.

Sass

To output all default o-normalise styles call the mixin oNormalise:

@include oNormalise();

To include features of o-normalise granularly, pass an $opts map. E.g. to output all styles except for the css helper classes o-normalise-visually-hidden and o-normalise-clearfix:

@include oNormalise($opts: (
	'elements': ('forms', 'images', 'text', 'links'),
	'body': ('font-smoothing', 'focus', 'reduce-motion')
));

Options include:

| Feature | Description | Values | |---------------------|---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|-----------------------------------------| | elements | Element types to apply normalising styles to. | 'forms', 'images', 'text', 'links' | | body | Features which apply to html, body, main elements and all elements with a :focus state. | 'font-smoothing', 'focus' | | helpers | Classes which may be applied to elements manually. | 'clearfix', 'visually-hidden' |

Other Mixins

• oNormaliseVisuallyHidden - provides styles to visually hide an element while remaining accessible to screen reader.
• oNormaliseClearfix - adds clearfix styles to the element. See this Sitepoint article for more on clearfixes - we use a variation on method 3.
• oNormaliseBoxSizing - adds box-sizing: border-box to the current and all descending elements, see this article by Paul Irish for a full explanation.

Focus States

o-normalise provides default focus states using the :focus-visible pseudo-class. This applies while an element matches the :focus pseudo-class and the user-agent determines that the focus should be specially indicated.

Browser support is now good so we no longer recommend the focus-visible polyfill, this should be removed from your project. :focus is used as a fallback where needed in older browsers.

Contributing

If you think there is something that could be added to o-normalise, either raise an issue to discuss or create a Pull Request with the changes to be reviewed by the Origami team.

If you think of any JavaScript functions or utilities that would be useful to have in a module like this, please raise an issue on o-utils.
