Size classes to force an element to a specific size for Scales CSS
A set of utility classes for changing the margin and padding on an element.
Scales uses the Sass CSS preprocessor, you'll need either Ruby Sass or LibSass.
* NPM: npm install --save @scales/utilities-spacing
Spacing classes can be used to modify the default padding and margins on elements These should be used sparingly. You should be using your project defaults most of the time, these are exceptions!
The class name format is
type: p,m = padding,margin
location: a,t,r,b,l,h,v = all,top,right,bottom,left,horizontal,vertical
size: s,m,l,h,n = small ($space-s),medium ($space-m),large ($space-l),huge (space-h),none (0)
`` This changes the padding on all sides to 0 and the margin on the left to the default small size.

#### The Scales Namespace Variable
All Scales patterns expose the $scales-namespace variable.
$scales-namespace accepts a string that will prefix all Scales classes. The default value is null.
#### Class Level Namespace Variable
Class level namespace variables allow you to namespace a selector based on the type e.g. b- for "base", o- for "objects", u- for utilities, and c- for "components".
This pattern exposes the $scales-utilities-class-namespace variable.
$scales-utilities-class-namespace accepts a string that will prefix any classes in this pattern and follow the Scales Namespace Variable if it is not null. The default value is null.
#### Namespace Variable Usage
To set either of these namespaces, you will need to set the variables in a file that is imported before any scales files. For example:
`
@import your-project/settings; // Namespace variables are set in this file
@import your-project/scalescss; // Imports all of the Scales packages
@import your-project/project // The rest of your project imports
