root-variables v1.1.2

Root Variables

Minimal, future-proof native CSS variables (CSS Custom Properties) framework in :root designed with the following features:

• Minimal variables defined: colors, typography, and layout helpers.
• HSL colors: all colors are HSL-based for more straightforward manipulation (before we have CSS Color Module Level 4 in hands).
• Easy to migrate: no magic variables for flex, or grid layout. You can continue to use your existing layout system.
• Flexible to extend: all variables can be overridden later in :root or in specific scopes.
• Dark mode ready: extend your existing app with prefers-color-scheme: dark, tweak colors with HSL, and you're ready to go.
