Simply

CSS framework

Cssimply is a really lightweight functional css framework I created to speed up developing my projects.

How to install

To install it is really simple, just add it from your package manager of choice

# for npm
npm i -S cssimply

# for yarn
yarn add cssimply

TO GET ONLY THE CLASSES

Import the dependency on whatever JavaScript file you want, I suggest using a root file so every children will inherit the style from this package.

import 'cssimply'; is all that is required, really simple, this will import a minified css file with all the needed classes to jumpstart you project.

TO GET VARIABLES AND CLASSES

You will need to have scss enabled on your project, from a scss file just add

@import '/path-to-root-folder/node_modules/cssimply/src/style.scss';`

this will give you all the classes and the scss variables explained below.

Sections

This first implementation is divided into 4 main parts:

Reset

contains a small reset to make all browsers output the same default style, nothing worth mentioning, the style is attached to the base html elements.

Spacings

contains padding and margin classes, the base value is 8 and every other value used is multiplicative of this base value (or divided from this).

variables

All variables in /spacings are values in px, multiplicative starting from 8px

• $spacing-1 8px
• $spacing-2 16px

and so on for 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14, special mentions:

• $spacing-half 4px
• $spacing-m1 -8px
• $spacing-m2 -16px
• $spacing-m3 -24px

classes

prefixes

• m-- margin
• mt-- margin-top
• mb-- margin-bottom
• ml-- margin-left
• mr-- margin-right
• mv-- margin-top margin-bottom
• mh-- margin-left margin-right

paddings works the same exact way using p instead of m

suffixes

• 0 0px
• 1 8px
• 2 16px

You know the drill, other numbers available are 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 14. Other special suffixes are:

• half 4px
• m1, m2, m3 are also available for -8px, -16px and -24px

// example
<h1 class="p--1 mv--3 pb--half">Hello world!</h1>

this will apply this style to the component:

padding: 8px;
margin-top: 24px;
margin-bottom: 24x;
padding-bottom: 4px;

Colors

Colors come from https://flatuicolors.com/ there isn't much to say for now.

variables

varibale names are the same on the website lowercase and lisp-case.

• $peter-river #3498db

you can imagine the rest, special mention $black and $white, try to guess these too.

classes

prefixes

only 3 prefixes:

• text-- for color
• bg-- background-color
• br-- border-color

suffixes

simply the color variables names without the $.

// example
<h1 class="text--orange bg--emerald">Hello world!</h1>

this will apply this style to the component:

color: #f39c12;
background-color: #2ecc71;

Layout

This section does not have variables, only classes

classes

Most are self explanatory:

• relative position: relative

• absolute position: absolute

• together with fixed and static

• hidden is visibility: hidden, DOES NOT include display: none

for display the classes start with

• ds-- plus the display value, ds-inline-block adds display: inline-block

• clear, pull-left, pull-right are the same as bootstrap, clear: both, float: left, float: right.

• br border: 1px solid apply colors with color classes

• rounded border-radius: 4px

• circle border-radius: 50%

Lastly the grid system implemented using the new CSS Grid, uses a standard 12 column layout.

• grid is the wrapper class required for using columns.
• from col-1 to col-12 all the column classes

// example
<div class="grid">
    <div class="col-6"></div>
    <div class="col-3"></div>
    <div class="col-2"></div>
    <div class="col-1"></div>
</div>
