Base Block Quotes for Scales

These are the base styles for block quotes.

Requirements

Scales uses the Sass CSS preprocessor, you'll need either Ruby Sass or LibSass.

Installation

  • NPM: npm install --save @scales/base-blockquotes

Usage

A nice semantic way to markup a blockquote is using the figure element. See http://alistapart.com/blog/post/more-thoughts-about-blockquotes-than-are-strictly-required for the rationale behind this approach.

Default blockquote

<figure>
  <blockquote class="Blockquote">
    <p class="Blockquote__quote">For me, it is far better to grasp the Universe as it really is than to persist in delusion, however satisfying and reassuring.</p>
  </blockquote>
  <figcaption class="Blockquote__source">Carl Sagan, <cite>The Demon-Haunted World</cite></figcaption>
</figure>

Available Classes

  • .Blockquote
  • .Blockquote__quote
  • .Blockquote__source

Available Variables

  • $source-prefix

Namespace Variables

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-base-class-namespace variable.

$scales-base-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
