eight.css

A micro (and modular) CSS framework based on 8pt grid

Demo

You can take a look of all eight.css features on demo page: try it!

Usage

Eight.css is a modular CSS framework, so you can use it as a single bundle or importing only the modules you need.

All eight.css's CSS files are minimized but source maps are provided for reach one of them.

As a single bundle

You can simply link to the main CSS file in your HTML page:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="eight.css">

As separated modules

You can import each eight.css's module as a separated CSS file.

IMPORTANT: please, note that by default eight.css imports Normalize.css and Source Sans Pro font when used as single bundle. When you import separated modules, instead, they are not included! This means you have to include them manually BEFORE importing eight.css modules.

<!-- Not included by default -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="//fonts.googleapis.com/css?family=Source+Sans+Pro">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="normalize.css">

<!-- Now you can import eight.css modules -->
<link rel="stylesheet" href="eight.grid.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="eight.typography.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="eight.images.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="eight.tables.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="eight.forms.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="eight.buttons.css">

As a package

You can also install eight.css using npm:

$ npm install eight.css

Compile CSS from scratch

You can (re)compile CSS from Stylus source files:

git clone git@github.com:zuck/eight.css.git
cd eight.css
npm install
npm run build

All (minimized) CSS files and source maps will be compiled in lib/.
