Mixins

Get Started

Kube has been designed to help you with web development, that's why it's so easy to use Kube when building websites. To move forward quickly and efficiently, just link kube.scss from Kube package: this file contains variables, mixins and everything you need to simplify daily routine tasks.

For example, import kube.scss into your master.scss styles file, which you will later compile into master.css

// master.scss
@import "dist/scss/kube.scss";

Now all Kube's variables and mixins are readily available in master.scss, and you can use them whenever needed.

// master.scss
@import "dist/scss/kube.scss";

// use mixins
#my-layout {
@include flex;
}

// use variables
#my-layout {
padding: $base-line;
}

Fonts

Generates a font-family declarations for text, headings, buttons or inputs.

// import Kube
@import "dist/scss/kube.scss";

// use mixins
@include text-font("Lato, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif");
@include headings-font("Lato, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif");
@include buttons-font("Lato, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif");
@include inputs-font("Lato, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif");

CSS Output

// Text
body {
    font-family: Lato, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;
}

// Headings
h1.title, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, .h1, .h2, .h3, .h4, .h5, .h6 {
font-family: Lato, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;
}

// Buttons
button, .button {
font-family: Lato, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;
}

// Inputs
input, textarea, select {
font-family: Lato, 'Helvetica Neue', sans-serif;
}

Breakpoints

Breakpoint for small screens (max-width 768px by default).

@include breakpoint(sm) {
    .span {
        display: none;
    }
}

Breakpoint for medium screens (min-width 1024px by default).

@include breakpoint(md) {
    .span {
        display: none;
    }
}

Breakpoint for large screens (min-width 1200px by default).

@include breakpoint(lg) {
    .span {
        display: none;
    }
}

Custom breakpoints:

// min-width 768px;
@include breakpoint(768px) {}

// min-width 768px and max-width 1024px;
@include breakpoint(768px, 1024px) {}

// max-width 1024px;
@include breakpoint(0, 1024px) {}
