Tempo

Responsive Grid System http://jxnblk.github.io/tempo

Tempo is designed to work well independently, but is built in the same spirit as BASSCSS. Styles follow the open/closed principle. Mix and match as you see fit.

Features

• Breakpoint-based mobile-first design
• OOCSS-inspired styles
• Fixed-width gutters
• Customizable variables
• Non-grid-sytem-based containers to control typographic measure
• Mobile grid styles
• Reusable width utilities
• Nesting, reverse ordering, margin, and centering utilities

Modules Included

• Simple 12 column flexible grid
• Mobile 12 column grid
• Centered grid-aligned single columns

Basic Usage

Use the vanilla CSS files or import the scss/tempo.scss file with SASS. Set custom variables within the same file or in a separate variables file.

Grid

The default grid only kicks in at a set breakpoint, defined by the $breakpoint variable.

Start with a container to set a max-width. The container is optional if you wish to span the full-width of the screen.

<div class="container">
</div>

Wrap each row of grid columns with the row class.

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
  </div>
</div>

Use the .col class to float elements left. Add a column width class to control width. Make sure the total number of columns adds up to 12.

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col col-4">4 columns wide</div>
    <div class="col col-8">8 columns wide</div>
  </div>
</div>

Note: there is no .col-12 class. For full-width content, simply omit the .row container.

Use .col-pre-X and .col-post-X classes to add spacing between columns.

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col col-4">4 columns</div>
    <div class="col col-7 col-pre-1">7 columns with space to the left</div>
  </div>
</div>

Note: To prevent bloated CSS, the $pre-post-max variable limits the number of styles available.

To reverse the order of grid columns, use the .col-right class in place of .col.

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="col-right col-6">First</div>
    <div class="col-right col-6">Second</div>
  </div>
</div>

To center a column, use the .col-center class in place of .col.

<div class="row">
  <div class="col-center col-8">Centered column</div>
</div>

To achieve a similar effect, see the Smaller containers section

Mobile Grid

Use mobile grid classes to affect layout at all screen widths.

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="mobile-col mobile-col-6">Half width</div>
    <div class="mobile-col mobile-col-6">Half width</div>
  </div>
</div>

Note: the mobile grid does not include pre/post classes.

Combined mobile and desktop grid

Use mobile grid classes as a base, then add default grid width classes to adjust layout at large screen widths.

<div class="container">
  <div class="row">
    <div class="mobile-col mobile-col-6 col-7">Half width at mobile - 7 columns on larger screens</div>
    <div class="mobile-col mobile-col-6 col-5">Half width at mobile - 5 columns on larger screens</div>
  </div>
</div>

Smaller Containers

Use these container classes to create single columns that line up with the grid, without floats and extra markup.

<div class="container-col-8">Centered 8-column wide container</div>

Note:

• These containers are not floated so there's no need for a clearfix or parent container.
• Containers are only available at these sizes: 4, 6, 8, & 10 column.

Customizing

Adjust these basic variables to suit your needs.

// .container max-width
$max-width: 75rem !default;

// Grid gutter
$gutter: 1.5rem !default;

// Maximum level of pre/post classes to generate
$pre-post-max: 2 !default;

// Breakpoint
$breakpoint: 36rem !default;
