Odo Sassplate
Delete-key friendly SCSS boilerplate.
Install
- Install the package.
npm install @odopod/odo-sassplate --save
- Copy
styles.scss
to your scss directory in your project (probably somewhere likesrc/css/
). - Change all the
@import
s to reference the files innode_modules
, similar to hownormalize.css
is used. - Install the node-sass-json-importer and integrate it into your build.
npm install node-sass-json-importer --save-dev
At this point, you should be able to compile your SCSS without any issues.
Setup
- You will want your own project variables, typography, and ui components, so copy
extensions/variables.json
,extensions/type-definitions.json
, andextensions/component-definitions.json
into your source CSS. - Copy the
_imports.scss
file from Sassplate into your source CSS. - Edit your new
_imports.scss
to make sure the@import
paths are correct. - Update the path for
_imports.scss
in your newstyles.scss
to reference the new file. - Make a change in one of the
.json
files and recompile your CSS. You should see the change.
Customization
To make changes to styles from the Sassplate, you can add styles which override the existing ones, or replace the .scss
file with your own copy.
All variables in extensions/_variables.scss
are declared with !default
, meaning it will assign the variable if it is not already assigned. This allows you to overwrite the variables without duplicating the file.
Mixins
Sassplate adds mixins as well. For details and method signatures, check out _mixins.scss
. Here's a list of them:
- breakpoint
- breakpoints
- augment-hit-area
- keep-aspect
- aspect
- no-aspect
- fill-parent
- reset-fill-parent
- clearfix
- text-overflow
- font-smooth
- layer-promote
- background-cover
- size
- table-center-wrap
- table-center
Writing CSS with JSON
The basic structure for each json file looks like this:
{
"scss-variable-name": {
"Group Name in Style Guide": {
"selector": {
"property": "value"
}
}
}
}
The above JSON would generate the following CSS:
.selector {
property: value;
}
Special Properties
Some properties are treated differently than others.
Numeric Properties
Properties which expect a length (like width
, padding-top
, etc.) will append px
if the unit is left off.
Color Properties
Properties which expect a color (like color
, border-color
, etc.) will use the get-color
function to find the color you have defined in variables.json
colors
property.
Element States
For focus
, hover
, and active
states, supply a new object with those styles:
"btn": {
"focus": {
"outline-color": "blue"
},
"hover": {
"color": "white",
"background-color": "blue"
},
"active": {
"background-color": "mediumseagreen"
}
}
.btn:focus {
outline-color: #1b9ec6;
}
.btn:hover {
color: white;
background-color: #1b9ec6;
}
.btn:active {
background-color: mediumseagreen;
}
docs-demo
To display a demo of your component in Odo Style Guide, use the docs-demo
property.
"btn": {
"docs-demo": {
"demo-markup": "'<button class=\"btn\">Sign In</button>'",
"dark-background": true
}
}
Other boolean options you may add to docs-demo
are text-center
, dark-background
, or light-background
.
breakpoints
To style the selector at breakpoints, add the breakpoints
property.
"type-title-1": {
"font-size": 30,
"breakpoints": {
"sm": {
"font-size": 40
},
"md": {
"font-size": 50
}
}
}
.type-title-1 {
font-size: 30px;
}
@media (min-width: 768px) {
.type-title-1 {
font-size: 40px;
}
}
@media (min-width: 1024px) {
.type-title-1 {
font-size: 50px;
}
}
children
Target children of the current selector with children
. Notice the selector is wrapped in single quotes so that it remains a valid string when converted to SCSS.
"btn": {
"children": {
"'.btn__text'": {
"display": "inline-block",
"vertical-align": "middle"
}
}
}
.btn .btn__text {
display: inline-block;
vertical-align: middle;
}
qualifiers
Qualifiers are for overriding properties based on a class on the element.
"btn": {
"qualifiers": {
"en": {
"line-height": 1.5,
},
"zh": {
"color": "mediumseagreen"
}
}
}
.en .btn {
line-height: 1.5;
}
.zh .btn {
color: mediumseagreen;
}
modifiers
Modifiers are variants of a class, with only a few attributes that are different. For example, a .btn
with an icon in it might need styles applied to the icon within it.
"btn": {
"color": "blue",
"modifiers": {
"icon": {
"padding-right": 12,
"children": {
"'.icon'": {
"margin-right": 8
}
}
}
}
}
.btn {
color: #1b9ec6;
}
.btn--icon {
padding-right: 12px;
}
.btn--icon .icon {
margin-right: 8px;
}
raw
Allow any selector to be appended to the main selector.
"btn": {
"raw": {
"'::after'": {
"content": "'Sassplate'"
}
}
}
.btn::after {
content: "Sassplate";
}
