Usage Guide

• Tokens defined in the figma file matches variables declared in CSS
• All classes associated with the design system are prefixed with a global namespace followed by a hyphen: nu-
• In addition to a global namespace, we added prefixes to each class to make it more apparent what job that class is doing using BEM syntax
  • c- for UI components, such as .nu-c-h1 or .nu-c-card
  • l- for layout-related styles, such as .nu-l-grid__item or .nu-l--two-column
  • u- for utilities, such as .nu-u-mb-<spacing-token> or .nu-u-margin-bottom-pt2
  • is- and has- for specific states, such as .nu-is-active or .nu-is-disabled. These state-based classes - would apply to
  • js- for targeting JavaScript-specific functionality, such as .js-modal-trigger. No styles are bound to these classes; they’re reserved for behavior only. For most cases, these js- classes would toggle - state-based classes to an element.
