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 🙏

flex shorthand

  • u-flexInitial - Sizes the item based on the width/height properties
  • u-flexAuto - Sizes the item based on the width/height properties, but makes them fully flexible, so that they absorb any free space along the main axis.
  • u-flexNone - Sizes the item according to the width/height properties, but makes the flex item fully inflexible. Similar to initial, except that flex items are not allowed to shrink, even in overflow situations.

Aligning with auto margins

  • u-flexExpand - Expand all margins to fill remaining space
  • u-flexExpandTop - Expand top margin to fill remaining space
  • u-flexExpandRight - Expand right margin to fill remaining space
  • u-flexExpandBottom - Expand bottom margin to fill remaining space

Plugins

All flex utilities can be limited to specific Media Query breakpoints.

  • u-sm-flexX - To use at the smallest Media Query breakpoint.
  • u-md-flexX - To use at the medium Media Query breakpoint.
  • u-lg-flexX - To use at the largest Media Query breakpoint.
<div class="u-md-flex u-md-flexWrap">
  <!-- flex items -->
</div>

Configuration

There are 3 Media Query breakpoints:

  • --sm-viewport
  • --md-viewport
  • --lg-viewport

When using postcss-custom-media, breakpoints can be configured using @custom-media. For example:

@custom-media --sm-viewport (min-width:320px) and (max-width:640px);
@custom-media --md-viewport (min-width:640px) and (max-width:960px);
@custom-media --lg-viewport (min-width:960px);

Usage

Centring an element in its container

<div class="u-flex u-flexAlignItemsCenter u-flexJustifyCenter">
  <p>Some centred content</p>
</div>

Usage with Grid

Note: The Grid component already sets display: flex on the root element.

<div class="Grid Grid--alignBottom">
  <div class="Grid-cell u-size1of3 u-md-flexAlignSelfCenter">Content</div>
  <div class="Grid-cell u-size1of3">Content</div>
  <div class="Grid-cell u-size1of3">Content</div>
</div>

Usage with utils-size

<div class="u-flex u-flexJustifyEnd">
  <div class="u-size4of12">Content</div>
  <div class="u-size2of12">Content</div>
  <div>Content</div>
</div>
<div class="u-flex u-flexAlignItemsCenter">
  <div class="u-size1of4">Content</div>
  <div class="u-size1of4">Content</div>
  <div class="u-sizeFill">Content</div>
</div>

Please refer to the README for SUIT CSS utils

Setting flex-shrink in IE10

In IE10 it is required to explicitly set flex-shrink on flex items, or use the longhand flex declaration.

In prior versions of utils-flex this was set automatically on all flex items. Due to issues with specificity this has been removed.

Should you need to apply the fix for IE10 then add a u-flexShrink class manually:

<div class="u-flex u-flexNoWrap">
  <div class="FlexItem u-flexShrink1">Content</div>
  <div class="FlexItem u-flexShrink1">Content</div>
</div>
