<div class=”small-11 small-centered medium-8 medium-uncentered large-6 large-uncentered hide-for-xl hide- for-xxl”></div>
<div class=“sidebar-primary”></div>
• Scalable • Maintainable – 12 columns on small •
Non Performant • Code bloat - Unnecessary styles in your code (grunt-uncss, ucss)
<div class=”small-11 small-centered medium-8 medium-uncentered large-6 large-uncentered hide- for-xl hide-for-xxl”></div>
.custom-row-class { @include grid-row(); .custom-column-class { @include grid-column(12); @media #{$small}
{ @include grid-column(6); } @media #{$medium} { @include grid-column(8); } } }
.tab-container{ @extend .large-6; @extend .medium-8; @extend .small-12; @extend .columns; @extend
.large-centered; @extend .medium-centered; }
Pros • Markup is readable and semantic • Separation of
concerns • SCSS readable Cons • More CSS styles and code • Still shipping unused code
.tab-container{ @extend %large-6; @extend %medium-8; @extend %small-12; @extend %columns; @extend
%large-centered; @extend %medium-centered; }
• Modify core features - http://codepen.io/rvinay88/pen/BeFld?editors=010 • @extend only port
of bootstrap - https://github.com/rvinay88/sass- bootstrap • http://viii.in/oosass-foundation-and-bootstrap/ • Can’t use @media with @extend • Grid becomes unclear • Chaining of selectors - Debugging nightmare
