Architecture

The styleguide is meant for mobile first development. Start with the mobile styles, and add the desktop styles later.

Grid

To create a layout where the mobile view shows a single column and the desktop view shows four columns side by side, use the following rules:

<div class="grid grid-d-4"></div> <!-- single column on mobile, 4 on desktop -->

You can also implement different column counts on mobile and desktop:

<div class="grid grid-2 grid-d-4"></div> <!-- 2 columns on mobile, 4 on desktop -->

Columns of varying width can be defined by their weight:

<div class="grid grid-1-3"></div> <!-- column width of 25% and 75% on mobile and desktop -->

Flexbox

Flexbox rules are defined with english words. Use the horizontal position first, then the vertical position, such as center, left, right, top and bottom.

<div class="flex center-top">...</div>

Development

Run ruby app.rb and open http://localhost:4567 for a live preview of the styles in your browser.

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run rake spec to run the tests. You can also run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.

To install this gem onto your local machine, run bundle exec rake install. To release a new version, update the version number in version.rb, and then run bundle exec rake release, which will create a git tag for the version, push git commits and the created tag, and push the .gem file to rubygems.org.
