Super easy to use Sass mixins to establish a typographic system with modular scale and vertical rhythm. Based on the Gridlover app.
Gridlover gives you adjustable CSS for font sizes, line heights and margins. The default CSS output is for
html,body,h1-h6,p,ul,ol, etc. but you can of course apply your adjusted values to any element by editing the CSS later.
Go play around with the awesome Gridlover app!
It's so much fun! 😄
Install Sassy-Gridlover via bower.
$ bower install sassy-gridloverInstall Sassy-Gridlover via npm.
$ npm install sassy-gridloverInstall Sassy-Gridlover via yarn.
$ yarn add sassy-gridloveror Download the repository and include the sassy-gridlover folder to your Sass directory.
Sassy-Gridlover consists of 7 configurable variables:
$sgl-base-font-size;
$sgl-base-line-height;
$sgl-base-unit;
$sgl-scale-factor;
$sgl-debug-mode;
$sgl-debug-mode-max-width;
$sgl-extras;and 4 mixins:
@mixin sgl-html();
@mixin sgl-body();
@mixin sgl-heading();
@mixin sgl-margins();These are the 4 functionalities of the Gridlover app that you (should) have been playing with ;)
Import _sassy-gridlover.scss to your main style sheet.
@import "sassy-gridlover";Change the configurable variables values in _config.scss to your liking.
I would encourage you not to change them directly here, though. It would be better to declare them in your _variables.scss, _config.scss or the like.
By default, all the mixins (except sgl-html) will output em. But you can also choose to output px, rem or pxrem.
This mixin is mandatory for the all the other mixins to work.
To use on <html>.
Outputs font-size and line-height always in px.
