Scratch Helpers

Helper classes for scratch framework. They use Scratch as a base. It's purpose of using is to write them inline in HTML for just easy markup.

API reference:

Color helper classes:

We can use them instead of {color-name} placeholder below, and we'll be able to use it inline in HTML to give color and background color to any element.

Brand colors:

• .primary
• .secondary
• .tertiary
• .quaternary
• .quinary

State colors:

• .color-success
• .color-warning
• .color-info
• .color-error

Social network colors:

• .color-facebook
• .color-twitter
• .color-google
• .color-youtube
• .color-vimeo
• .color-rss
• .color-pinterest

Use .color- prefix for those, to not to be confused with naming conflicts.

Table reference:

Let's use {color-name} as a placeholder for this table.

Name	Color	Background
.{color-name}	--{color-name}-inverse	--{color-name}
.{color-name}-contrast	--{color-name}	--{color-name}-contrast
.{color-name}-color	--{color-name}
.{color-name}-color-contrast	--{color-name}-contrast
.{color-name}-background		--{color-name}
.{color-name}-background-contrast		--{color-name}-contrast

For example, {color-name} is primary, --primary itself is green and contrast color for it - --primary-contrast is white. As we see in the table, We can use .primary class to apply white color on the green background. .primary-contrast to opposite, like green on white. .primary-background for applying only green background and etc.

Don't get confused about color helpers starting with .color- prefix. As for only color usage, it can repeat color word like .color-facebook-color-inverse. It's the same structure, just starts with that prefix.

  • .font-family-sans-serif-secondary
