8-point
A set of 8 point grid classes.
Why
8-point grid is a thing.
It's a good thing at that.
8 has a lot of advantages as a number.
It's chief adavntage is that it bifurcates evenly.
So devices that do any type of strange scaling don't end up with half-values.
This is good.
This lib just offers a set of classes for using an 8-point soft grid with the css box model. It incluedes classes for margin
, padding
, TRBL
, width
, height
, and "size".
Anatomy
The class names break down like this:
{acronymized CSS property}-{n × 8px}
For example:
.p-1 { padding: 8px }
.p-2 { padding: 16px }
.p-3 { padding: 24px }
You can use side-specific properties as well:
.mt-1 { margin-top: 8px }
.mr-1 { margin-right: 8px }
.mb-1 { margin-bottom: 8px }
.ml-1 { margin-left: 8px }
.my-1 { margin-top: 8px; margin-bottom: 8px }
.mx-1 { margin-right: 8px; margin-left: 8px }
