Primal rage of css primitives

Protozaur is semantic, mnemonic, declarative CSS framework, created to avoid wasting time and increase productivity

Why?

  • Rapid prototyping
  • Dramatically Reduce the amount and size of CSS/BEM style modificators in CSS files
  • Declarative approach to add context-dependent style properties to existed CSS classes or BEM blocks

CSS class

How Protozaur works?

<html>
  <head>...</head>
  <body class='ptz--reset'>...</body>
</html>

or

<html>
  <head>...</head>
  <body>

    ...

    <div class='ptz--reset'> ... </div>

    ...

  </body>
</html>

Example 1

<h1 class='fs18 lh130 mt20 mb20'>
  Hello World!
</h1>

Will add to your H1 following css properties:

font-size: 18px;
line-height: 130%;
margin-top: 20px;
margin-bottom: 20px;

Example 2

<a href='http://github.com' class='ptz--btn ptz--size-16'>Button to Github</a>

Will show button based on font-size: 16px;

Example 3


<form action='/action.php'>
  <div class='m20'>

    <div class='mb20'>
      <input name='login' type='text' class='ptz--input ptz--size-16 w300'>
    </div>

    <div class='mb20'>
      <input name='email' type='text' class='ptz--input ptz--size-16 w300'>
    </div>

    <div class='clearfix'>
      <div class='pull-right'>
        <input type='submit' class='ptz--submit ptz--size-16'>
      </div>
    </div>

  </div>
</form>

Protozaur's concept

All CSS properties can be split in 2 groups:

  • decorative properties (background, color, border etc.)
  • context-dependent properties (margin, padding, font-size etc.)

Protozaur say:

  • It is pointless to write the most part of context-dependent properties in CSS files. It's reason to create tons of additional css declarations for context-dependent modificators

Protozaur advice:

  • We can create some set of global simple CSS modificators. We can use it for context-dependent customization of existed CSS styles or BEM blocks

Protozaur components

  • reset.css ā€” just the reset file
  • framework.css ā€” the heart of framework
  • base.css ā€” some most common css definitions

also will be better to include inputs-buttons componetns:

  • inputs-buttons/base.css ā€” for using styles for inputs and buttons
  • inputs-buttons/sizes.css ā€” for set sizes to buttons and inputs

Features

Protozaur:

  • based on box-sizing: border-box property
  • based on px and %

Protozaur [vs] or [with] Bootstrap / Foundation / Any CSS framework

Protozaur it's not a competitor to your CSS framework. Protozaur is assistant. It helps to reduce size of your CSS files and makes your HTML much easer to read and understand.

Fell free to use Protozaur (or it's idea) with any CSS framework.

Customization

As you see Protozaur based on very simple idea and implemented with really simple code.

If you need something special you can copy/paste a part of Protozaur's code and modify it.
