Backline Grid

A scss port of responsive-grid.

A simple inline-block based responsive grid, with IE8+ browser support. Only outputs the styles specified to avoid CSS full of unused widths.

Installation

npm install --save backline-grid

or

yarn add backline-grid

Add backline-grid to your node-sass includePaths option.

{
  loader: 'sass-loader',
  options: {
    includePaths: [
      ...require('backline-grid').includePaths
    ]
  }
}

Import backline-grid in each .scss as required

@import 'backline-grid';

Usage

Responsive Grid provides a collection of mixins for use.

grid-base()

This will set up the block .grid class and the element .grid__item class.

---

grid-widths($namespace, $columns)

This will set up width classes based on the $columns you include.

Examples

• grid-widths('', 1 3 6) will set up a whole class, thirds classes, and sixths classes.
• grid-widths('desktop', 1 2 3) will set up a .{$namespace} class for each of the width classes.

The following variables can be used to change the in-built naming convention, for example, when using with a different language

Variable name	Type	Default	Description
$grid--count-names	list	one two three … sixteen	Forms the first half of the grid widths class name
$grid--fraction-names	list	whole half third … sixteenth	Forms the second half of the grid widths class name

---

grid-pull($namespace, $columns)

This will set up pull classes based on the $columns you include.

Examples

• grid-pull('', 1 3 6) will set up .pull-{width} classes that move the .grid__item with a whole class, thirds classes, and sixths classes.
• grid-pull('desk', 1 2 3) will set up a .{$namespace}pull-{width} class for each of the pull classes.

---

grid-push($namespace, $columns)

This will set up push classes based on the $columns you include.

Examples

• grid-push('', 1 3 6) will set up .push-{width} classes that move the .grid__item with a whole class, thirds classes, and sixths classes.
• grid-push('desk', 1 2 3) will set up a .{$namespace}push-{width} class for each of the push classes.

---

grid-gutter-modifier($namespace, $gutter)

This will set up the gutter modifier .grid--{$namespace} class and .grid__item child selector which modify the gutter width. Providing an optional $namespace allows the mixin to be used to change the base grid gutter at different breakpoints.

Examples

• grid-gutter-modifier('', 10px) will set up a .grid class that will provide a 10px gutter between each .grid__item.
• grid-gutter-modifier('em', 1em) will set up a .grid--em class that will provide a 1em gutter between each .grid__item.
• grid-gutter-modifier('percent', 10%) will set up a .grid--percent class that will provide a 10% gutter between each .grid__item.
• grid-gutter-modifier('pixel', 20px) will set up a .grid--pixel class that will provide a 20px gutter between each .grid__item.

---

grid-reverse($namespace)

This will set up modifier .grid--reverse class that, when applied, will visually reverse the DOM order of the .grid__item's. Providing a $namespace is optional.

---

grid-uncompressed()

Adds a slightly-hacky workaround for non-compressed HTML (avoid if possible)
