Sugar

Sugar gives you a lot of cool stuff to enhance your codebase. It basically does nothing by default but let you grab what you want from it. It can be the colors management feature, as well as the spaces management, helper classes, etc...

We like to think about this toolkit as

A little (but powerful) sugar in your codebase

Goals

The primary goal of this toolkit is to cover these needs:

1. Give you a way to organize your codebase (colors, fonts, etc...)
   • Sugar does not tells you how your folders need to be layed out
   • Help you to stay organized inside your code
     • Colors
     • Fonts
     • Etc...
   • Help a lot when you need to work in team
2. Give you access to a large number of useful mixins like:
   • s-font : Apply font property quickly
   • s-clearfix : Apply any clearfix (standard, overflow, float, etc...) type quickly
   • s-placeholder : Apply the input placeholder styling
   • s-list-bullet : Create fully customized list bullets (icons, images, decimal, etc...)
   • s-vertical-rhythme : Set your vertical rhythme rules
   • s-truncate-text : Truncate a text when to wide
   • And many many more...
3. Give you access to some cool effects that you can tweak like:
   • s-depth : Material design depth shadows
   • s-bubble : Customizable speach bubbles
   • s-side-lined : Simple side lines to apply on titles or whatever
   • s-long-shadow : Create a nice long shadow effect
   • Fully customizable one div loaders

4. Provide some useful daily use javascript functions like:
   • closest : Equivalent of the jQuery closest functions
   • whenInViewport : Let you know when an element enter the viewport the first time
   • whenAttribute : Let you know when an element has a specifiy attribute (or that an attribute is a string, etc...)
   • scrollTo : Animate the scroll to a certain element in the page
   • domReady : Equivalent to the jQuery ready function
   • getAnimationProperties : Return an object with the css animations properties
   • And many, many, many more...
5. Provide some powerful javascript classes like:
   • SWebComponent : Base class to create webcomponent based on react methods naming (componentWillMount, componentMount, etc...)
   • SBinder : Allows you to bind object properties to another object
   • SWatcher : Allows you to monitor object properties
   • STimer : Nice little class to handle timers (start, stop, pause, onTick, etc...)
   • And many more...
6. Plenty web components based on the SWebComponent class
   • These web components are separated into outside repositories
   • Official sugar web components are published on the Coffeekraken github organisation
   • Well tested components
   • Open source so don't be afraid to contribute!

4. Let us know if you have other cool ideas around some Sugar integrations...

What Sugar does not

Sugar has some goals it try to achieve, and have also some things that it does intentionally not like:

1. Vendor prefixing your CSS
   • They are plenty of tools to make that like autoprefixer
2. Implement polyfills like webcomponent.js, etc...
   • You will need to integrate them yourself when you need to...
3. Force you to use his features
   • Grab what you want from the toolkit, keep the rest aside...

Sugar is an open source project and will ever be! You are more that welcomed to contribute to his development and make it more awesome every day. To do so, you have several possibilities:

1. Share the love ❤️
2. Declare issues
3. Fix issues
4. Add features
5. Build web component

Browsers support
