Puleo CSS
An attempt to build a mid-level CSS library forming a good starting point for custom designs. Opinionated on demand.
Basic ideas
- Should work in 3 ways
- Import a CSS file and start prototyping
- Configure with a set of design tokens
- Create you own composition from individual building blocks
- Build on top of ideas, that are already out there
- CSS is good enough
- No need for alternative techniques like utility class framework, CSS in JS etc.
- No need for a pre-processor
- Transpilation of newer CSS features allows to use standard CSS from the future
- Scoping on components level is good
- Ment to be used with CSS, that is scoped to components (like Vue or Svelte scoped style blocks or upcoming CSS native scoping; BEM does the job as well but it is not preffered)
- Base styling layer needs (with ITCSS layer associations)
- set of primitive values (physical variables/props) (-> Settings)
- set of semantic variables/design tokens (-> Settings)
- type, space and grid system (-> Tools)
- CSS reset/normalization (-> Generic)
- brand specific reset (-> Generic)
- improved HTML elements (-> Elements)
- utility classes for a couple of text styles (-> Objects)
- utility classes for often used layouts (-> Objects)
- individual component styles (-> Components)
- utility classes for other aspects (like .visually-hidden) (-> Utilities)
