@guardian/source-foundations

The atoms from which all our visual design is built. They may be used with any CSS-in-JS library.

This package is part of the Source design system.

Install

Foundations are installed as a JavaScript package via Yarn:

$ yarn add @guardian/source-foundations

or:

$ npm install @guardian/source-foundations

Colours

Guardian colours can be found in the palette documentation.

Space

Our space system is structured as increments of 4px.

import { space } from '@guardian/source-foundations';

const spaceAfter = css`
	margin-bottom: ${space[3]}px;
`;

// margin-bottom: 12px;

Size

Size units may be used to set the height, max-height, width or max-width of a component.

import { width, height } from '@guardian/source-foundations';

const checkbox = css`
	width: ${width.inputXsmall}px;
	height: ${height.inputXsmall}px;
`;

// width: 24px;
// height: 24px;

Typography

Typography is expressed as methods that return snippets of CSS depending on the desired font family and size.

import { headline } from '@guardian/source-foundations';

const h1 = css`
	${headline.medium()};
`;

// font-family: GH Guardian Headline, Georgia, serif;
// font-size: 2.13rem;

Media queries

We provide media queries for each breakpoint in our grid layout.

import { from, until, between } from '@guardian/source-foundations';

const styles = css`
	padding: 0 10px;

	${from.mobileLandscape} {
		padding: 0 20px;
	}

	${between.phablet.and.desktop} {
		padding: 0 32px;
	}

		padding: 0 40px;
	}
