bonescss

bonescss is a bare-bones CSS framework. It provides tools that enable you to focus
on the awesome parts of CSS.

- make use of smacss namespaced class-names by default
- all the h5bp CSS defaults are there and up to date
- 100% BEM compatible
- Bootstrap mode that generates ready to use classess

Unlike Compass or Bourbon, bonescss is not meant to provide mixins for bower compatibility.
autoprefixer does that job very well.

##Installation
There are two ways to install it:

1. add node_modules to your SCSS directories then npm install bonescss --save-dev, then @include the individual files in your SCSS files
2. Or checkout this repository into your SCSS directory and use it as a boilerplate: git clone https://github.com/meodai/bonescss.git your-scss-directory

##Usage
You can add it to your existing SASS setup and make use
of all the mixins and helpers or you can let it generate helper classes in boilerplate mode.

1. Using only the mixins on your own classes.
- all you have to include is 0.setting and mixins
- adapt the different 0.setting's file to your project.
2. Use it in as boilerplate with placeholder selectors or classes.
- include and adapt main.scss
- adapt the differet 0.setting's file to your project.

- .l-clearfix (@mixin clearfix)
h5bp's cleafix

- .l-size-width (@mixin site-witdh)

- .l-horizontal (@mixin horizontal($childSelector: '*'))
Does the same then .l-horizontal-list but for every element.

- .l-horizontal-samewidth-list (@mixin horizontal($type: samewidth))

- .l-horizontal-equidistant (@mixin horizontal($type: equidistant, $childSelector: '*'))
Every element inside this container will have equal distances in between.

- .l-table, .l-table-row, .l-table-cell (@mixin table, table-row, table-cell)

.l-table-cell comes with a modifier .l-table-cell--max and .l-table-cell--min. .l-table-cell--min Is always as wide as its contents. and .l-table-cell--max as wide as possible inside the table layout.

- .centered-body

If you don't need to support uncool browser is suggest you use the mixin center-absolute().

- @mixin center-absolute($direction:both|horizontal|vertical)
Absolutely centers an element in it's parent horizontal, vertically or in both directions

3.helpers

The helpers are mostly text helpers. This is why the rules are prefixed with %t- and .t-, this can be changed by overwriting: $text-selectors: "%t-" ".t-";

_mixins.scss

Includes all the mixins and functions

$3

- @mixin px2percent ($size,$contextSize)
Converts any size into percents. If in some PSD file your design is 1024px wide and some sidebar in this design has a width of 300px you would use the function like this:
width: px2percent(300px,1024px)

- @mixin px2rel($px, $baseSize, $unit)
Will convert any pixel unit to a relative unit. Usually used to convert font-sizes.
If for example your h1 should have a font-size of 40px and your base font-size is 16px. The function would be used as such: font-size: px2rel(40px, 16px)
The default unit will be rem you can set it to something else (like EM) by using the third argument. If you set $s-font-base in your options somewhere you don't have to pass the second argument.

- @mixin font-size($px)
Sets a font size with a PX fallback for old browsers
font-size: font-size(16px)
will result in
`
font-size: 16px;
font-size: 1rem:
`

- line-height($px)
Set a line-height with a PX fallback exactly as the font-size function

$3


- triangle( $height, $color, $direction, $width )
