Usage

stylesheet usage

The simplest way to use gr8 is to include the gr8.css stylesheet in your project:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="dist/gr8.css" />

javascript usage

Use the gr8 function to generate utilities:

var gr8 = require('gr8')
var css = gr8()

API

`css = gr8([opts])`

Generate utilities and return a string of css. opts accepts the following values:

Value Options

opts.spacing Mixed values for margin & padding utilities
opts.fontSize Mixed values for font-size utilities
opts.lineHeight Mixed values for line-height utilities
opts.size Mixed values for width & height utilities
opts.viewport Mixed values for viewport utilities
opts.zIndex Mixed values for zIndex utilities
opts.flexOrder Mixed values for flex-order utilities
opts.opacity Mixed values for opacity utilities
opts.aspectRatio Mixed values for aspect ratio utilities
opts.textColumn Mixed values for text columns utilities

Selector Options

opts.selector Function css selector template function
opts.breakpoints Object values for breakpoint utilities
opts.breakpointSelector String | Function selector shortcut or css selector template function

Custom Utilities Options

opts.utils Array custom gr8-util utilities
opts.exclude Array keys of default utilities to exclude

Value Options

Value options customize numeric gr8 utilities. They accept Numbers, Strings, Arrays, or Objects. Typically Arrays of Numbers will be used. Refer to gr8-util for details on all possible ways to format values.

Defaults:

var css = gr8({
  spacing: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
  fontSize: [1, 1.2, 1.6, 2.4, 3.2, 6.4],
  lineHeight: [1, 1.5],
  size: [0, 100],
  viewport: [50, 100],
  zIndex: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
  flexOrder: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4],
  opacity: [0, 25, 50, 75, 100],
  aspectRatio: [25, 50, 75, 100],
  textColumn: [1, 2, 3, 4]
})

Selector Options

Selector options control selectors & breakpoints.

Defaults:

var css = gr8({
  selector: s => `.${s}`,
  breakpoints: {
    sm: 768,
    md: 1024,
    lg: 1280
  },
  breakpointSelector: 'attribute'
})

`opts.selector`

Function expects a selector name as input and returns a css selector string as output. For example, to use an attribute selector instead of classes:

var css = gr8({
  selector: s => `[gr8~="${s}"]`
})

[gr8~="fs1"]{font-size:1rem}
[gr8~="fs1-6"]{font-size:1.6rem}
/* etc... */

`opts.breakpoints`

Object keys are used in selector names and object values are used to define the media queries. Object values can either be integers (which results in a min-width media queries), or object values can be media query strings. Pass false to disable breakpoint utilities entirely:

var css = gr8({
  breakpoints: {
    small: 1024,
    medium: '(min-width:768px) and (max-width:1280px)',
    'not-big': '(max-width:1024px)',
    portrait: '(orientation:portrait)'
  }
})

@media (min-width:1024px) {
  [small~="fs1"]{font-size:1rem}
  /* etc... */  
}
@media (min-width:768px) and (max-width:1280px) {
  [medium~="fs1"]{font-size:1rem}
  /* etc... */  
}
@media (max-width:1024px) {
  [not-big~="fs1"]{font-size:1rem}
  /* etc... */  
}
@media (orientation:portrait) {
  [portrait~="fs1"]{font-size:1rem}
  /* etc... */  
}

Note: If you care about valid attribute selectors, prepend data- to your breakpoint keys.

`opts.breakpointSelector`

By default, attribute selectors are generated for breakpoint utilities (as seen above). Use prefixed classes instead by passing in the 'class' shortcut, or provide a selector function for more granular control:

`'class'` Shortcut

var css = gr8({
  breakpointSelector: 'class'
})

Selector Function

var css = gr8({
  breakpointSelector: key => s => `.gr8-${key}-${s}`
})

@media (min-width:768px) {
  .gr8-sm-fs1{font-size:1rem}
  /* etc... */
}
@media (min-width:1024px) {
  .gr8-md-fs1{font-size:1rem}
  /* etc... */
}
@media (min-width:1280px) {
  .gr8-lg-fs1{font-size:1rem}
  /* etc... */
}

Custom Utilities Options

gr8-util is a little function for generating functional css utilities. Given a plain object, concise css utilities are generated. All the utilities in gr8 are built using this.

Use the utils option to pass an array of gr8-util objects to extend the gr8 output with custom utilities:

var bgcolor = {
  prop: {
    bgc: 'background-color'
  },
  vals: ['red', 'blue', 'green']
}

var fontcolor = {
  prop: {
    fc: 'color'
  },
  vals: ['red', 'blue', 'green']
}

var css = gr8({
  utils: [
    bgcolor,
    fontcolor
  ]
})

.bgcr{background-color:red}
.bgcb{background-color:blue}
.bgcg{background-color:green}
.fcr{color:red}
.fcb{color:blue}
.fcg{color:green}
/* etc... */

@media (min-width:768px) {
  [sm~="bgcr"]{background-color:red}
  [sm~="bgcb"]{background-color:blue}
  [sm~="bgcg"]{background-color:green}
  [sm~="fcr"]{color:red}
  [sm~="fcb"]{color:blue}
  [sm~="fcg"]{color:green}
  /* etc... */
}

@media (min-width:1024px) {
  [md~="bgcr"]{background-color:red}
  [md~="bgcb"]{background-color:blue}
  [md~="bgcg"]{background-color:green}
  [md~="fcr"]{color:red}
  [md~="fcb"]{color:blue}
  [md~="fcg"]{color:green}
  /* etc... */
}

@media (min-width:1280px) {
  [lg~="bgcr"]{background-color:red}
  [lg~="bgcb"]{background-color:blue}
  [lg~="bgcg"]{background-color:green}
  [lg~="fcr"]{color:red}
  [lg~="fcb"]{color:blue}
  [lg~="fcg"]{color:green}
  /* etc... */
}

Refer to gr8-util for further documentation on generating custom utilities.

`opts.exclude`

Use the exclude option to remove some of the default utilities. Accepts an array with any of the following values:

column, margin, padding, opacity, background, flex, display, float, overflow, positioning, size, typography, miscellaneous, development

Proxies

For more advanced use cases, some additional methods are proxied:

// direct access to gr8-util
var gr8util = require('gr8/util')
var css = gr8util({options})

// direct access to gr8-utils
var gr8utils = require('gr8/utils')
var css = gr8utils({options})

// or even lower level
gr8utils.generate(gr8utils.utils, gr8utils.defaults)

Notes

gr8 is developed and iterated-on primarily for use within projects at Folder Studio. It shares similarities with other functional css libraries like tachyons or basscss, but diverges in its minimalism and customizability. gr8 provides no colors, no borders, no font-families, etc out of the box, but instead provides ways to quickly define your own utilities for things like these using plain objects. It facilitates creating coherent design systems without imposing one by default.

In any case, I hope you like it and perhaps find it useful!
