Hagrid is a mixin library for responsive websites and web applications.

It helps you with authoring flexbox grid systems and local media queries by providing easy-to-use mixins. You do not have to edit your markup to make it work - the semantics are up to you.

Installation

bower install hagrid

npm install hagrid
@import "[path to hagrid]/hagrid";

Usage

// * Initialize a basic grid
.parent {

  @include g;

  // * Initialize a grid with a set of modifiers
  // * Modifiers are applied to all items of one grid
  @include g(full, rev);

  // * Alt. Syntax
  @include grid(full, rev);

}

// * Initialize a grid-item with a set of responsive widths
.item {

  // * The general width is set without a breakpoint-keyword (e.g. md)
  // * Responsive widths are set in the config-map $hagrid-breakpoints
  @include i(1/2, 1/3 md, 1/4 lg);

  // * If you initialize an item without arguments or a general width, it defaults to 100% (mobile first)
  @include i;
  @include i(2/3 md, 3/4 lg);

  // * You can use whatever you want as values
  // * Fractions work great for grids and allow for complex grids without doing math
  // * Passing in false will prevent @i from setting any general width

  // * Recommended
  @include i(1/2, 1/3 md, 1/4 lg);

  //* Possible
  @include i(false, lg 50%);

  // * You can use custom breakpoints in Hagrid. Those should be quoted
  // * Breakpoints pointing at $hagrid-breakpoints should not be quoted
  @include i(2/3 "(min-width: 580px)", 1/3 lg);

  // * Alt. Syntax
  @include item();
}

Options

// * Specify gutters between items. They are used like modifiers or applied to all grids
// * If $layout-gutters exists it will be used instead (so you don't have to modify this file directly)
$hagrid-gutters: (
  default: 1.5rem,
  full: 0,
  narrow: 0.5rem,
  wide: 3rem
) !default;

// * Set common breakpoints used in your project. Can be used in the @bp-mixin (see below)
// * If $layout-breakpoints exists it will be used instead (so you don't have to modify this file directly)
$hagrid-breakpoints: (
  sm: "(min-width: 35.5em)",
  md: "(min-width: 48em)",
  lg: "(min-width: 64em)",
  xl: "(min-width: 80em)"
) !default;

// * Gutters and modifiers are applied to all items of each grid-container
// * By default, the selector `> *` is used. If you use a consistent selector for grid-items, you can set it here
$hagrid-item-selector: "> *" !default;

Modifiers

// * Modifiers are set on grids
@include g(center, middle, full);

x-axis Alignment

  • right: Align grid-items to the right in partially filled rows.
  • center: Center grid-items in partially filled rows.
  • space-around: Distribute items in partially filled rows by using variable space around them.
  • space-between: Distribute items in partially filled rows by using variable space between them.

y-axis Alignment

  • bottom: Align items to the bottom of the grid.
  • middle: Vertically center grid items.

Spacing

You can provide custom gutters to the grid via the config-variable $hagrid-gutters. Use them as you would use a normal modifier. (e.g. @include g(wide))

Direction

  • rev: Reverted grid on x-axis.
  • flip: Reverted grid on y-axis.

Mixins

  • bp: Use breakpoints directly in a class.
  • stretch: Assign stretch-mixin to a group of grid-items in a grid to stretch-align their contents.

Example (bp)

.item {
  // * Single Breakpoint
  @include bp(md) {
    text-align: left;
  }

  // * Multiple Breakpoints
  @include bp(md, lg) {
    text-align: left;
  }

  // * Specific Breakpoints
  @include bp("(min-width: 568px and max-width: 640px)") {
    text-align: left;
  }
}

Example (stretch)

.stretch {
  @include g;
  > .item {
    @include i;
    @include stretch;
  }
}

// Stretch accepts a selector as parameter, it defaults to "> *"
.stretch {
  @include g;
  > .item {
    @include i;
    @include stretch(".stretched-items");
  }
}

Auto Grids

Starting in v3.0.0, you can let flexbox work out the grid for you - on any breakpoint - by passing auto to the i-mixin.

Example (Auto Grids)

// Basic automatic grid
.auto {
  @include g;
}

.auto-item {
  @include i(auto);
}

// Pinned elements will keep their width - while their surrounding elements change.
.auto-pinned {
  @include g;
}

.auto-item--pinned {
  @include i(1/3);
}

.auto-item {
  @include i(auto);
}

// You can use automatic grids on any breakpoint you like
.auto--responsive {
  @include g;
}

.auto-item--responsive {
  @include i(1/2, md auto);
}

Browser Support

  • Chrome
  • Firefox
  • Safari 6.1+
  • Android 4.4+
  • IE 10+
  • Opera 12+

If you need support for older browsers, you can use the 2.x version range of hagrid. You can install it by running:

npm install [email protected]
bower install [email protected]

Prefixes

Hagrid does not generate prefixes (-webkit-,-ms-) as it is designed to be integrated with common SASS workflows in mind (Gulp / Grunt with Autoprefixer). A sample configuration for Autoprefixer is available in the test build-file. Be careful not to set browsers in a way that generates legacy flexbox syntax!

Development

Requirements

Gulp

npm install gulp-cli -g
npm install gulp -D

Running Locally

cd __test__/
gulp
open index.html

If you want to use sassdoc, you can build it by running gulp sassdoc.

Testing

Hagrid uses sass-lint to keep everything neat.

npm test
