Side-by-Side Object for Scales

A simple pattern for displaying content side by side.

Requirements

Scales uses the Sass CSS preprocessor, you'll need either Ruby Sass or LibSass.

Installation

• NPM: npm install --save @scales/objects-side-by-side

Usage

The Side by Side object can be used on any elements that you want. For example:

<div class="SideBySide">
  <div class="SideBySide__item">
    <p>The content here will stay alongside other content within the parent container.</p>
  </div>
  <div class="SideBySide__item">
    <p>The content here will stay alongside other content within the parent container.</p>
  </div>
</div>

To align items along the bottom:

<div class="SideBySide SideBySide--align-bottom">

To align items along the center:

<div class="SideBySide SideBySide--align-center">

Other uses

You may wish to split the items in a way other than 50/50. Below are modifier classes that allow splitting the content by 25/75 or 75/25.

Available Classes

• .SideBySide
• .SideBySide__item
• .SideBySide__item--one-quarter
• .SideBySide__item--three-quarters

Available Variables

• $side-by-side-gutter

Namespace Variables

The Scales Namespace Variable

All Scales patterns expose the $scales-namespace variable.

$scales-namespace accepts a string that will prefix all Scales classes. The default value is null.

Class Level Namespace Variable

Class level namespace variables allow you to namespace a selector based on the type e.g. b- for "base", o- for "objects", u- for utilities, and c- for "components".

This pattern exposes the $scales-objects-class-namespace variable.

$scales-objects-class-namespace accepts a string that will prefix any classes in this pattern and follow the Scales Namespace Variable if it is not null. The default value is null.

Namespace Variable Usage

To set either of these namespaces, you will need to set the variables in a file that is imported before any scales files. For example:

@import your-project/settings; // Namespace variables are set in this file
@import your-project/scalescss; // Imports all of the Scales packages
@import your-project/project // The rest of your project imports

Extending

In your project or theme, you can easily extend the Side-by-Side object for your own purposes.

@import your-project/scalescss/objects-side-by-side/side-by-side
