New categories / utilities cleanup

[dbox]

@Jenius The utilities folder seems pretty unwieldy to me. Should we:

Move the following to typography:

• bold()
• italic()
• normal()
• raquo()
• font-face()

Create images (media?) category and move the following over:

• bg()
• bg-retina()
• image-replace()
• sprite()
• cached-image-url()
• cached-image()

Create a layout category and move the following over:

• columns()
• avoid-column-break()
• group = clearfix
• inline-block()
• vertically-align()
• media()
• ratio-box()

Move border-box-html to reset

Which would leave the rest feeling very much like utilities:

• pie()
• rounded()
• no-select()
• b() (Could go in layout I suppose)
• triangle()
• debug()
• animation timing functions
• rem()
• quantity queries

Thoughts? Moving stuff around shouldn't have any compatibility issues should it?

Agreed, I think those moves you suggested are appropriate, and it will not cause any breakage or issues, just general organization. Feel free to PR this guy in 👍

So here's what I'm thinking:

• 0.4.1 - I can bump this today
  • rem calculator
  • quantity queries
• 0.4.2
• Fix button() :hover needs border: 0 #193 and rem(value) is a function not mixin #194
• tl() added to layout
• folder re-organization per above.
• 0.5.0 - breaking changes
• drop nib

Looks like a solid plan to me. Although I don't want to add autoprefixer as a dependency. I feel like it should be up to the user whether they want to use autoprefixer. We could perhaps include it as a convenience option that's off by default, but I don't want to force it. However I am not set in stone so if you have a compelling reason I could be convinced otherwise!

[dbox]

Basically the only thing I get hung up on when running tests is the vendor prefixes. So was hoping it'd make that easier, but i'm fine either way.

[dbox]

Also, just worried how much of nib's vendor prefix stuff it's currently using.

[jescalan]

Yeah, I'm entirely ok with running the tests without vendor prefixes. I just don't feel like prefixing is our job anymore. Autoprefixer is great at taking care of this, so we should just leave it to them entirely.

[jescalan]

We'll just have axis output solid modern css, and let AP take care of old browsers and such

Great. Still not looking forward to all the tests :) But sounds like @abstracthat is down for helping out and I believe @ccampb13 is as well.

@Jenius, Working on setting up testing for the scss port of axis and
running into an issue. In test/fixtures/.styl files, you are calling the
mixin. When I attempt to do the same I receive a "no mixin named button"
error. Where in the setup do you import the mixins from axis/.styl to be
used in the test directory?

@ccampb13 that would be here: https://github.com/jenius/axis/blob/master/test/test.coffee#L13

Axis imports itself using the JS API: https://github.com/jenius/axis/blob/master/index.js#L14

I don't think there's an equivalent way of doing implicit importing in Sass, so you have carte blanche on how you want to handle that

thanks @declandewet, stylus continues to impress

[dbox]

@Jenius @abstracthat Should border-box-html be part of the new layout or part of reset?

[abstracthat]

It’s a reset utility when applied globally I would say.
