Clearfix Utility for Scales

A super minimal clearfix utility.

Requirements

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

Installation

• NPM: npm install --save @scales/utilities-clearfix

Usage

Clearfix is used to force an element to self-clear its floated children.

It should be extended in your sass files, but can be used as a class. I recommend only using it this way for debugging purposes in you browser dev tools.

.parent-class {
  @extend %ClearFix
}

For debugging:

<div class="ClearFix">
  <some floated elements>
</div>

Available Classes

• %ClearFix - extend in your sass files
• .ClearFix - For debugging, change with the $clearfix-class variable.

Available Variables

• $clearfix-class

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-utilities-class-namespace variable.

$scales-utilities-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
