Stateless Vue Components for iotaCSS.

Features

• Uses iotaCSS styles
• You can use iotaPlate with it
• Works on any application architecture
• Great for prototyping
• Production ready

Getting Started

Step 1: Install vue-iotacss package

$ npm install --save vue-iotacss

Step 2: Install iotaCSS

For this example, we will use iotaPlate, iotaCSS's official CLI.

$ cd scss
$ iotaplate

Step 3: Import and use Vue iotaCSS

// entry.js

import Vue from 'vue'
import App from './App.vue'

// Import Container, H1 and P components
import { Container, H1, P } from 'vue-iotacss'

// Register the components
Vue.component('Container', Container)
Vue.component('H1', H1)
Vue.component('P', P)

new Vue({
  el: '#app',
  render: h => h(App)
})


// App.vue

<template>
  <Container size="small">
    <H1 size="large">Getting Started with Vue iotaCSS</H1>
    <P>This is an example on how to get started with Vue iotaCSS</P>
  </Container>
</template>

<style lang="scss">
  import './scss/main.scss'

Documentation

Base

The Base is responsible for translating u prefixed properties to iotaCSS utility classes, for example uText="center" will translate to class="u-text-center". It's extended by all the Vue Components and you should use it in all your components if you want them to support Vue iotaCSS utility properties.

Properties

Name	Type	Default	Description
tagName	String	div	TagName to be used

Example

<Base tagName="p" uText="center">
  Some paragraph
</Base>

Container

The Container is responsible for creating smart, flexible and responsive containers.

Properties

Name	Type	Default	Description
gutter	String	''	Container extra gutter name
size	String	''	Container extra size name
className	String	''	Allows to specify a CSS class

Example

<Container size="large">
  Some content here
</Container>

Grid

The Grid is responsible for building a smart, flexible and responsive grid.

Properties

Name	Type	Default	Description
align	oneOf(['right', 'center', 'top', 'middle', 'bottom', 'around', 'between'])	'top'	Align grid vertically and horizontally
gutter	String	''	Grid extra gutter name
rev	Boolean	false	Reversed grid
equalHeight	Boolean	false	Grid with equal height
className	String	''	Allows to specify a CSS class

Example

<Grid gutter="large">
  <GridColumn uSize="1/2">
    Half width column
  </GridColumn>
  <GridColumn uSize="1/2">
    Another half width column
  </GridColumn>
</Grid>

List

The List is responsible for creating inline, block and span lists. You can use it to build the structure of UI components like navigations or vertical lists.

Properties

Name	Type	Default	Description
type	oneOf(['inline', 'block', 'span'])	'inline'	Type of list
align	oneOf(['top', 'middle', 'bottom'])	'top'	Align list vertically
gutter	String	''	List extra gutter name
className	String	''	Allows to specify a CSS class

Example

<List type="block">
  <ListItem>
    List Item 1
  </ListItem>
  <ListItem>
    List Item 1
  </ListItem>
</List>

Media

Media is responsible for a common design pattern where there is a fixed and a fluid width column next to each other. It's used to build the structure of sidebars, comments, avatar and other similar UI components.

Properties

Name	Type	Default	Description
align	oneOf(['top', 'middle', 'bottom'])	'top'	Align media vertically
gutter	String	''	Media extra gutter name
rev	Boolean	false	Reversed media
res	Boolean	false	Responsive media
className	String	''	Allows to specify a CSS class

Example

<Media align="middle">
  <MediaFixed>
    Fixed part of Media
  </MediaFixed>
  <MediaFluid>
    Fluid part of Media
  </MediaFluid>
</Media>

Type

The Type is responsible for making responsive typography a piece of cake.

Properties

Name	Type	Default	Description
size	String	''	Typography size
tagName	String	'p'	HTML tag to use
className	String	''	Allows to specify a CSS class

<Type tagName="span" size="large">Large Text</Type>
<H1>Heading 1</H1>
<H2>Heading 2</H2>
<H3>Heading 3</H3>
<H4>Heading 4</H4>
<H5>Heading 5</H5>
<H6>Heading 6</H6>
<P>Paragraph</P>

Note: H1 - H6 and P components do not provide any size. They only use the related HTML tag.

Utilities

Vue iotaCSS uses a smart way to parse properties to utility classes:

<Type uText="center" uMb>Centered text with default margin bottom</Type>

<p class="o-text-center u-mb">Centered text with default margin bottom</p>

Available Properties

The available properties are the same as the utilities that come with iotaCSS:

• uAlign
• uBgcolor
• uCf
• uColor
• uDisplay
• uFloat
• uM
• uMt
• uMr
• uMb
• uMl
• uMv
• uMh
• uOpacity
• uP
• uPt
• uPr
• uPb
• uPl
• uPv
• uPh
• uPosition
• uPull
• uPush
• uSize
• uText
• uTransform
• uWeight

Margin / Padding

One important note for Margin and Padding utility properties. As decribed in the docs for Margin and Padding, you will need to add an extra '-' in the SCSS configuration for the extra margin/padding sizes like the following:

$iota-utils-margin-extra: (
  -small: 10px
);

so, it will generate a class with like '.u-mb-small' instead of '.u-mbsmall'. This is required for Vue iotaCSS because it always uses a '-' to separate the margin/padding direction from the extra margin/padding size.

Properties

Name	Type	Description
uAlign	String	Vertical Align
uBgcolor	String	Background Color
uCf	Boolean	Clearfix
uColor	String	Color
uDisplay	String	Display
uFloat	String	Float
uM	oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.string])	Margin
uMt	oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.string])	Margin Top
uMr	oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.string])	Margin Right
uMb	oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.string])	Margin Bottom
uMl	oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.string])	Margin Left
uMv	oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.string])	Margin Vertical
uMh	oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.string])	Margin Horizontal
uOpacity	String	Opacity
uP	oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.string])	Padding
uPt	oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.string])	Padding Top
uPr	oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.string])	Padding Right
uPb	oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.string])	Padding Bottom
uPl	oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.string])	Padding Left
uPv	oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.string])	Padding Vertical
uPh	oneOfType([PropTypes.bool, PropTypes.string])	Padding Horizontal
uPosition	String	Position
uPull	String	Offset After
uPush	String	Offset
uText	String	Text Align
uTransform	String	Text Transform
uWeight	String	Font Weight

Example

<H1 size="large" uText="center" uMb>Hello World</H1>

<h1 class="o-type-size u-text-center u-mb">Hello World</h1>

Responsive Utilities

Vue iotaCSS also supports responsive utilities with a similar syntax to iotaCSS itself, with one big difference. Since in Vue you cannot pass two times the same property with difference values, iotaCSS introduces the 'all' word which is used in case you want to have for example a default margin everywhere and a large margin to only 'sm' breakpoint:

<Type uText="right center@sm" uMb="large" uMt="all large@sm">Right on all devices, center on tablets and up. Default margin bottom in all devices and large margin bottom in tablets and up</Type>

<p class="u-text-right u-text-center@sm u-mb-large u-mt u-mt-large@sm" uMb="large" uMt="all large@sm">Right on all devices, center on tablets and up. Default margin bottom in all devices and large margin bottom in tablets and up</p>
