</div>

SCSS

.standardItem {
  @include wdc-depth-1();
}

Depth -1: Inset card depth
Class: .wdc-depth-inset
Mixin: wdc-depth-inset

Depth 1: Standard card depth
Class: .wdc-depth-1
Mixin: wdc-depth-1

Depth 2: Increased card depth on hover
Class: .wdc-depth-2
Mixin: wdc-depth-2

Depth 3: Active, Task Orch, Pop Ups, Async Notification
Class: .wdc-depth-3
Mixin: wdc-depth-3

Type

Fonts

To use the Canvas Kit font install and import the @workday/canvas-kit-css-fonts module. Note that this module sources fonts from the Workday CDN.

Hierarchy

Type styles are available as classes and mixins. Using the class is preferred. Use mixins to override CSS only if necessary,

Base Type
Applies base body and font styles. Any type styles must be descendants of .wdc-type for the Canvas fonts to be used.

<div class="wdc-type">
  <h1 class="wdc-type-h1">Header</h1>
  <p class="wdc-type-body">Body text</p>
</div>

If you don't want to wrap your type elements with .wdc-type, you may also use the wdc-type mixin to set the default styling. For preset defaults (i.e. all headers, body font, links, etc.), simply apply .wdc to your body tag or a similar wrapper.

body {
  @include wdc-type();
}

There are mixins provided so you can do this for all levels of the type hierarchy if you'd like:

p {
  @include wdc-type-body();
}
h1 {
  @include wdc-type-h1();
}
h2 {
  @include wdc-type-h2();
}
...

Headings
Modifies font size and weight.

<h1 class="wdc-type-h1">H1 Header</h1>
<h2 class="wdc-type-h2">H2 Header</h2>
<h3 class="wdc-type-h3">H3 Header</h3>
<h4 class="wdc-type-h4">H4 Header</h4>
<h5 class="wdc-type-h5">H5 Header</h5>

Body

<p class="wdc-type-body">Body text</p>
<p class="wdc-type-body-2">Smaller body text</p>

Small

<p class="wdc-type-small">Small text</p>

Variations

You can modify any of the type hierarchy with the below variations:

Label

<span class="wdc-type-variant-label">Label Text</span>

Button

<span class="wdc-type-variant-button">Button Text</span>

Caps

<span class="wdc-type-variant-caps">Caps Text</span>

Hint

<span class="wdc-type-variant-hint">Hint Text</span>

Error

<span class="wdc-type-variant-error">Error Text</span>

Link

<a href="#" class="wdc-type-variant-link">Link Text</a>

Mono

<span class="wdc-type-variant-mono">Mono Text</span>

Inverse

<button class="wdc-type-variant-inverse">White Text</button>

Accessibility

By default, browsers add an outline around focusable elements. This is great for keyboard accessibility but is not the best visual experience for users who don't need it. To provide the best visual experience for all users, canvas-kit-css-core uses what-input to prevent outlines on mouse events while showing outlines during keyboard navigation. To include what-input into your project please view the what-input github repository.

Canvas-kit-css-core includes an accessibility.scss file that will target specific what-input styles. The elements within canvas-kit-css will prevent browser outlines from being shown during mouse events by default. You can apply the class .wdc-a11y to body or any other element to implement the same functionality for all focusable elements within a given element.

If you want to control when the outlines are shown/hidden yourself, you can use the wdc-show-outlines() and wdc-hide-outlines() mixins.
