Welcome to Plume CSS, a lightweight and highly themeable CSS Micro-Framework. No JS, no Dependencies. This is the Plume's repository and technical documentation. If you want to know exactly what Plume is, what it does and its main characteristics, please visit: https://felippe-regazio.github.io/plume-css/. For usage and technical information, please follow the README.
Full compatibility with the following Browsers:
With NPM (Also available with Yarn)
npm install plume-css
Then on your app
import 'plume-css'
Clone or download this repository, or download the dist package on the github page.
Now just add it on your page:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="plume-css/lib/plume-all.css">
Tested in a browser thats isn't here? Send a PR with the results. Found an issue? Send a PR describing it :)
You can also use Plume via CDN using a link tag:
<link href="https://unpkg.com/plume-css@1.0.11/lib/plume-all.css" rel="stylesheet" rel="preload" as="style" media="all" defer>
Or via CSS:
@import "https://unpkg.com/plume-css@1.0.11/lib/plume-all.css";
Since Plume is scoped, after installing it, you must add the plume class on a wrapper div to apply local styles, or add it on the body tag to style the entire page. You can also add the pm-container class to have a containerized wrapper.
<!-- apply styles to entire document -->
<body class="plume"> ... </body>
<!-- wrapper with plume local style -->
<div class="plume"> ... </div>
Now you're ready to go
When you load plume-all.css or import 'plume-all', you bring the entire Plume lib to your app. Thats ok since the complete lib has only 5kb gziped. But you may want to load only some modules, as Buttons, or Form styles for example. You just need to load the plume-core module, then load the modules you want:
import 'plume-css/lib/plume-core'
or
<link rel="stylesheet" href="plume-css/lib/plume-core.css">
Now you can load the modules that you want. The following modules are available
So, if you want to add only typography and buttons, for example, you can do:
import 'plume-css/lib/plume-core';
import 'plume-css/lib/typography';
import 'plume-css/lib/buttons';
Or
<link rel="stylesheet" href="lib/plume-core.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="lib/typography.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="lib/buttons.css">
This method is specially useful if you want to import Plume styles on your SCSS projects.
@import 'plume-css/lib/plume-core.css';
@import 'plume-css/lib/typography.css';
h1 {
// this will override plume's H1 default style
}
Plume is already normalized, but since its scoped, it cant access the HMTL and Body directly. So, to completely normalize the entire APP you must also normalize the HTML and Body. To do it, just use this snippet:
html {
margin: 0;
line-height: 1.15;
-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%;
}
body {
margin: 0;
}
Plume apply styles on bare components, but there is a large set of functional utilities - classes and data properties - that you can apply on your elements to alter its behavior. You can check the complete list of Utilities on this link: https://felippe-regazio.github.io/plume-css/.
NOTE: Plume is scoped under a main class plume by default, and all the classes and properties are prefixed with pm- by default. This guarantee highly compatibility and Collision Free CSS. If you are interested in change Plume's main class and prefix, please read the Building from Source section of this README.
Plume is written using a lot of custom properties (70+) that controls important aspects of the default style. Here we assume that you are familiarized with "CSS Custom Properties". You can override these properties to alter default elements style, or to create your own custom Theme. So, a custom theme is nothing more then a set of CSS Custom Properties overriding. You can check the complete Plume's Custom Properties List on the Github Page. You can add a theme by:
Creating and downloading or Theme using the theme editor on Plume's Github Page.
Manually overriding the variables on your code
