Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Readme

Sass Accoutrement

Robust design systems require meaningful, readable, reusable code. These Sass utilities are designed to help define and manage your design tokens (colors, fonts, sizes, etc.) in a format that can be understood by both humans and parsers -- opening the door for automation, while improving consistency and readability. These tools also integrate with Herman, our automated living pattern-library generator built on SassDoc.

Brought to you by OddBird -- the creators of Susy, True, and Herman.

Installation

Install the package with npm or yarn

npm install accoutrement [--save-dev]
yarn add accoutrement [--dev]

Use what you need:

// all the modules (these are functionally the same)
@use '<path-to>/accoutrement';
@use '<path-to>/accoutrement/sass/tools';

// individual modules (at `/accoutrement/sass/<name>`)
@use '<path-to>/accoutrement/sass/color';

If you're using Eyeglass, you can use the default "tools" using only:

@use 'accoutrement';

Modules for common data types

  • Utilities -- For helpers with Sass lists, strings, and maps
  • Ratios -- For managing aspect and typography ratios (several common ratios are provided)
  • Animate -- For managing CSS transitions and animations
  • Color -- For managing CSS colors and contrast-ratios
  • Layout -- For managing CSS sizes: typographic scales, spacing, etc.
  • Scale -- For managing CSS sizes: typographic scales, spacing, etc.
  • Type -- For managing webfonts, generated content, and other text needs

Tokens

The Tokens module provides a special syntax for managing design tokens with Sass "map" objects:

$map: (
  'root': 16px,
  'gutter': 1em,
);

Using the custom syntax, we can extend maps to handle internal reference, and functional adjustments -- capturing meaningful relationships between design tokens:

$map: (
  'root': 16px,
  // internal reference & adjustments
  'gutter': '#root'
    (
      scale: '_major-third' 1,
      'convert-units': 'rem',
    ),
);

Map storage serves a larger purpose:

  • Related data is grouped explicitly, making the code more readable and maintainable
  • The "single source of truth" encourages reusable design patterns
  • Meaningful structure allows automation, from automated style guides to automated functionality

This module provides the generic (non data-specific) setup and syntax parsing:

Note: We no longer use token maps internally at OddBird since Sass "modules" now provide a way to group & namespace normal Sass variables meaningfully, and access module variables as a map. By relying on core Sass features, we avoid any confusion around the custom token syntax.
