Horizontal List Object for Scales

An object for making a list horizontal instead of vertical.

Requirements

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

Installation

• NPM: npm install --save @scales/objects-HorizontalList

Usage

Horizontal List should be used whenever you need to make an ordered or unordered list horizontal instead of vertical. You can extend it with --delimited to semantically mark up a character delimited list for things like tags, etc. You can also center, right align, or have the list fill the available space. The spacing between elements can also be adjusted with tiny, small, medium, large, and huge modifiers.

@include HorizontalList;

@extend %HorizontalList;

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-objects-class-namespace variable.

$scales-objects-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
