Stampus is Compass (started as a port) for Stylus. The goal is complete transparency for mixin'd properties and native-feeling convenience classes.
This repo is mostly a proof of concept so I can share it with people. It's a weekend hack that I expect to rename/rebase/delete the repo in the near future.
This depends on my fork
(note the branch) of stylus. You'll have to check that out and npm link it in
order to run it.
cd ~/working/dir/css
ln -sf ~/path/to/stampus/stampus.styl
ln -sf ~/path/to/stampus/stampus
At least that's how I've been poking around with it.
With the syntax changes in Stylus 0.6, it's possible to write stylus code that looks completely native. Stampus is my experiment to see if it works in practice. It does, but there are some stylus language limits and bugs.
@import stampus
#transparent {
display: box;
box-pack: start;
opacity: 0.6;
}
Running stylus < test.stylus will output:
#transparent {
opacity: 0.6;
display: -moz-box;
display: -webkit-box;
display: box;
-moz-box-pack: start;
-webkit-box-pack: start;
-ms-box-pack: start;
box-pack: start;
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=60)";
filter: progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=60);
}
The appropriate vendor prefixes are added to properties/values, IE fallbacks are added, and so on. The rules are mostly modeled after the equivalent Compass modules.
Stampus also adds additonal "properties" (mixins made to look like CSS props) for common use cases:
@import "stampus"
body {
reset: box-model text;
}
ul.nav {
horizontal-list: default;
}
Produces: body { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; } ul.nav { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; zoom: 1; overflow: hidden; } ul.nav li { white-space: nowrap; float: left; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; display: inline; } ul.nav li:first-child, ul.nav li.first { padding-left: 0; }
Most of the mixins in Stampus have configurable default values. You can
override these values gobally by setting them before importing stampus. Passing
in default to a stampus mixin will (doesn't everywhere yet) use the default
values (e.g. $default-box-pack = end). This can be useful for things like
transition properties. Additionally, vendor support (-moz, -webkit, -o, -ms)
can be enabled/disabled by setting the appropriate value. So
$experimental-support-for-mozilla = false will disable all -moz prefixes.
Finally, you can set $legacy-support-for-ie to false to disable IE support
(e.g. opacity filter).
The following CSS3 Properties are missing or have limited support:
-
linear-gradient/radial-gradient - These are values in background-image and need to split background-image into multiple pieces in order to cover the webkit+standard variants
-
box-shadow - Only one shadow is supported, need better arg parsing to pursue multiple shadows. Also, it might be possible to shim in an IE filter but I haven't tried.
-
text-shadow - Only multiple shadows need vendor prefixes, but parsing that out would also depends on better arg parsing
-
transition - The top level transition shorthand property is not implemented, again due to arg parsing
Utility is all around less tested and there are some relatively nasty bugs preventing most of the mixins from working completely.
- File about 20 bugs on Stylus
- (maybe) hack on Stylus to fix said bugs
- Add some for real tests instead of the ad-hoc tests I've been doing
- Fixed and Flex grids
- Migrate my own set of CSS tricks from various sass files
- (probably not) Port Blueprint from Compass
