grdd.css

A lightweight SASS grid built using BEMIT (by Harry Roberts), OOCSS and a lot of love ❤

Disclaimer

I built this grid just for fun, I know there are many others (maybe too many) which are better than grdd.

Specs

• grdd weights 1.823 bytes with one breakpoint
• grdd uses inline-block just because it is fully supported from any browser
• grdd has 6 columns
• grdd uses fractions: .grdd__item--1/2
• grdd uses @ for breakpoints: .grdd__item--1/1@sm
• grdd is infinitely nestable
• grdd respects the BEM naming convention
• grdd respects the OOCSS philosophy
• grdd is only 60 lines of SASS, including comments and extra spaces

Features

You can customize grdd by changing the variables in the top lines and recompiling it. grdd uses Gulp, so the only thing you have to do in order to recompile it is:

$ cd grdd.css/
$ npm i
$ gulp compile

Namespaces

grdd is a component, so, following the conventions of BEMIT we should append a .c- to the selector, however, you can change that prefix or even delete it.

$grdd-namespace: "whatever-"; // Whatever namespace
$grdd-namespace: "";          // No namespace

Gutter

The default gutter between columns is .625em.

$grdd-gutter: 0; // No gutter

Sizes

You probably don't want the default sizes (.grdd__item--1/2, ...) because you already have a list of sizes in your own project. Turning $grdd-sizes to false allows you to have just the grdd component without all the fractions, thus saving a lot of space.

$grdd-sizes: false; // No fractions

Breakpoints

You can easily add and remove breakpoints but remember that the more breakpoints you add, the more grdd will weight.

$grdd-breakpoints: ( 
  "sm": 48em,
  "lg": 75em
);

Usage

grdd is simple to use!

<div class="c-grdd">
  <div class="c-grdd__item c-grdd__item--1/2 c-grdd__item--1/1@sm"></div><!--
  --><div class="c-grdd__item c-grdd__item--1/2 c-grdd__item--1/1@sm"></div>
</div>

This grid has two 50% columns by default, and two 100% columns when the viewport is < 48em. Remember to add a comment from the end of each grid__item to the start of the next one, this is because grdd uses inline-block.
