Responsive Content Classes
Some content should only be visible when the screen is a certain size. Non-essential content such as descriptions, long titles, and flavor text can be partially or fully hidden.
| hide-small | The content disappears when the screen width is less than 570px |
| truncate-small | The content will truncate the text with ellipsis ( ... ) when the screen width is less than 570px |
| truncate-text | The content will truncate the text with ellipsis ( ... ) any time the container is too small |
Layout Classes
Flexbox
Define a component as a flexbox, which means that all immediate children will grow or shrink to fit the box as it is resized. Essential for good responsive design.
| l | defines the component as a flexbox |
| li | defines the component as an inline-flexbox |
| lh | defines the component as a flexbox that sets objects horizontally, left-to-right |
| lh-reverse | defines the component as a flexbox that sets objects horizontally, right-to-left |
| lv | defines the component as a flexbox that sets the objects vertically, top-to-bottom |
| lv-reverse | defines the component as a flexbox that sets the objects vertically, bottom-to-top |
| wrap | indicates that a flexbox should wrap the items to the next line if they don't fit |
| wrap-reverse | indicates that a flexbox should wrap the items on the opposite side that they are laid out from |
| nowrap | indicates that a flexbox should keep all items in the same line, even if they don't fit |
Flex item shrink/grow
Define the flex shrink/grow factor for a child of a flexbox. Classes marked as (default) are what is automatically set if a specifc class is not added to the component.
| flex-auto | automatically sets the grow/shrink values (default) |
| flex-0 | item will not grow or shrink as the box changes size |
| flex-shrink | item will only shrink as the box does, but will not grow beyond its original size |
| flex-<number> | sets the grow/shrink factor by the number from 1 to 12 |
Flex align-items
Define where items are positioned on the cross-axis of a flexbox.
| start | items are pushed to the start of the cross-axis |
| center | items are pushed to the center of the cross-axis |
| end | items are pushed to the end of the cross-axis |
| baseline | items are set so that all their baselines are lined up |
| stretch | stretch the items so that all empty space on the cross-axis is filled (default) |
Flex justify
Define how items are positioned on the main axis of a flexbox.
| start-j | content is pushed to the start of the main axis (default) |
| center-j | content is pushed to the center of the main axis |
| end-j | content is pushed to the end of the main axis |
| around-j | content is set so that each item has the same "margins" within the main axis |
| j | content is set at equal intervals along the axis, but may have inconsistent spacing |
Flex align-self
Use this on single children to override the default align-items class applied to the flexbox.
| self-start | the item is pushed to the start of the cross-axis |
| self-center | the item is pushed to the center of the cross-axis |
| self-end | the item is pushed to the end of the cross-axis |
| self-baseline | the item isset so that its baseline is on the cross-axis |
| self-stretch | the item is stretched to fill the empty space of the cross-axis (default) |
Flex multi-line allignment
When a flexbox has more than 1 cross-axis lines, you need to align the collection of lines.
| multi-start | content is pushed to the start of the main axis |
| multi-center | content is pushed to the center of the main axis |
| multi-end | content is pushed to the end of the main axis |
| multi-between | each line is set at equal intervals along the axis, but may have inconsistent spacing |
| multi-around | content is set so that each line has the same "margins" within the main axis |
| multi-stretch | content is stretched to fill the empty space of the main axis (default) |
Flex Grid
A special flex-style grid that resizes each section of the grid so that the entire grid retains the same content in each row and column.
To use a flex grid:
- Create a grid class <div>
- Inside the grid, define row-<number> class divs
- In each row, place col-<number> class divs
| grid | a container for the flex grid that fully fills the object it is placed inside |
| row-<number> | a row of the grid with a flex grow/shrink factor set by a number from 1 to 12 |
| col-<number> | a column of a row with a flex grow/shrink factor set by a number from 1 to 12 |
