CSS

Import the SASS file from your node_modules folder to make use of the variables:

// e.g. changing opening/closing transition times
$handorgel__content--open-transition-height-time: .1s;
$handorgel__content--open-transition-opacity-time: .2s;
$handorgel__content-transition-height-time: .05s;
$handorgel__content-transition-opacity-time: .05s;
//...

@import '~handorgel/src/scss/style';

Alternatively you can just include the built CSS file inside the /lib folder file or from the CDN.
