Speedy, solid, semantic layout with Susy
Ordered list of contents 1. Reasons why Susy’s great 2.
Installation 3. Basic usage 4. Advanced usage
Layout woes • Lack of flexibility • Too many dependencies
• DIY is a headache B • Separation of concerns • Jack of all trades
Semantics <div class="col-sm-5 .col-md-6">Content</div> <div class="col-sm-5 .col-sm-offset-2 .col-md-6 .col-md- offset-0">Extra
content</div> <main class="main">Content</main> <aside>Extra content</aside>
Flexibility • 4/6/10/18 column grid? • ‘Breaking’ the grid •
Different grids for different screen-widths • Asymmetric grids
Dependencies • Can slow compilation of CSS • Increases complexity
of a project
Maths
None
Master of one • Keeps codebase light • All (layout)
bases covered
http://susy.oddbird.net/
Installation • Bower • Copy/paste .zip • Ruby Gem •
GUI (Codekit, Prepros, etc.)
Compilers • Compass () • Ruby Sass • Libsass ()
Import Susy @import "susy"; @import "../components/susy/sass/susy"; Or
Grid settings (maps) $susy: ( columns: 4, gutters: .25, math:
fluid, );
Laying out body { @include container(60em); padding-right:.5em; padding-left:.5em; } [role="banner"]
.logo { @include span(2 of 4); } [role="navigation"] { @include span(last 2 of 4); }
Overriding li { @include span(4 of 14); padding-right: .5em; padding-left:
.5em; } article li { float: none; width: auto; margin-right: 0; }
Multiple maps $default: ( columns: 4, gutters: .25, math: fluid,
gutter-position: after, ); $medium: ( columns: 6, gutters: .25, math: fluid, gutter-position: after, ); $large: ( columns: 12, gutters: .25, math: fluid, gutter-position: after, );
Breakpoints • Hand-written alongside layout context • Susy breakpoints •
Breakpoint (http://breakpoint-sass.com/)
[role="banner"] .logo { @include layout($default); @include span(2 of 4); @media
(min-width: 30em) { @include layout($medium); @include span(2 of 6); } } [role="navigation"] { @include layout($default); @include span(last 2 of 4); @media (min-width: 30em) { @include layout($medium); @include span(last 4 of 6); } }
Shorthand article { @include span(8 of 12); img { @include
span(last 4 of 8 before); } }
Gallery .gallery li { @include gallery(4 of 12); }
Loads more • Asymmetric grids • Margins and padding: pre,
post, squish, pull, prefix, suffix, bleed • Using span and gutter as a function, instead of a mixin
susydocs.oddbird.net/en/latest/toolkit/
Remind me… • Keeps markup clean • Flexible • Light-weight
• Straightforward syntax • Does one thing well
