}
```
---
```javascript
options: {
prefix: '',
important: false,
separator: ':',
}
```
^ - Drupal important config
- By adding a prefix, we don't clash with Drupal's core styles - e.g. ".block"
---
[.build-lists: false]
- Colours (text and background)
- Font family, size, weight
- Leading (line height), tracking (letter spacing)
- Border widths, colours, radius
- Width, height, min/max width/height
---
[.build-lists: false]
- Padding, margin (positive and negative)
- Shadows
- Z-index
- Opacity
- SVG fill, stroke
- Screen sizes (breakpoints)
---
## __States__
### Hover, Focus, Active
---
```css
.{state}{separator}{class}
```
---
```twig
<a class="bg-grey hover:bg-grey-dark focus:bg-grey-dark" href="/">
Home
</a>
```
---
## __Responsive__
---
```less
.{screen}{separator}{class}
```
---
```html
<div class="block sm:inline-block md:flex lg:block">
<p>Hello, World!</p>
</div>
```
---
## __Extracting <br>Components__
---
```twig
{% for item in items %}
<a class="block py-3 px-4 text-sm text-grey" href="{{ item.url }}">
{{ item.title }}
</a>
{% endfor %}
```
---
```html
<a href="inline-block rounded text-sm py-2 px-3 text-white bg-red">
Click me!
</a>
<a href="inline-block rounded text-sm py-2 px-3 text-white bg-green">
Click me too!
</a>
```
---
```less
// main.less
.button {
.inline-block;
.rounded;
.text-sm;
.py-2;
.px-3;
.text-white;
}
```
---
```css
# main.css
.button {
@apply .inline-block;
@apply .rounded;
@apply .text-sm;
@apply .py-2;
@apply .px-3;
@apply .text-white;
}
```
---
```html
<a href="button bg-red">
Click me!
</a>
<a href="button bg-green">
Click me too!
</a>
```
---
```less
// table.less
.table-responsive {
@apply .mb-4 .border .w-full;
overflow-x: auto;
overflow-y: hidden;
}
.table-responsive table {
@apply .mb-0 .border-0 .whitespace-no-wrap;
}
.table {
@apply .w-full .table-collapse;
}
.table tr:nth-child(odd) {
@apply .bg-grey-lightest;
}
.table tr th {
@apply .text-left .p-3 .bg-white;
}
.table td {
@apply .px-3 .py-3 .border-t;
}
```
---
## Advantages
- Quick to prototype and make changes
- Write less CSS
- More consistency
- Easy to customise, promote to components
- Mix and match with normal CSS
^ Do more with browser dev tools
Only picking from pre-defined colours, widths. No magic numbers.
Less ramp-up time as using the same framework on different sites.
Same classes, but no visual similarities like with other frameworks like Bootstrap
---
## Disadvantages
- Extra build tools and steps
- Lots of classes in markup
- Large file size by default
^ - Need a build tool (Gulp, Grunt, Webpack) to build CSS
---
## For Drupal
- Add a prefix to avoid clashing
- Enable `important` setting to override existing styles
- Add classes in templates where possible
- Use `@apply` to limit the number of templates, to avoid adding classes in PHP code or config (e.g. Views), to style hard-to-reach elements
