lightbulb_outline Sass

Sass is the most mature, stable, and powerful professional grade CSS extension language in the world.

Variables

When using Sass, you can change the color scheme of your site extremely quickly. Below is a very small sample of what you can change through sass in _variables.scss.

								
$primary-color: color("materialize-red", "lighten-2") !default;
$primary-color-light: false !default;
$primary-color-dark: false !default;
@if not $primary-color-light {
	$primary-color-light: lighten($primary-color, 15%);
}
@if not $primary-color-dark {
	$primary-color-dark: darken($primary-color, 15%);
}
$secondary-color: color("teal", "lighten-1") !default;
$success-color: color("green", "base") !default;
$error-color: color("red", "base") !default;

$link-color: color("light-blue", "darken-1") !default;

Media Queries

We have 3 media queries for the 3 standard screen sizes you can use in your custom Sass files. This also includes media query variables that will define the range.

Small screens are defined as having a max-width of 600px
Medium screens are defined as having a max-width of 992px
Large screen are defined as having a min-width of 993px

CSS
								
/* These classes can be added to HTML Elements
 * to affect visibility on certain displays.
 */
.hide-on-small-only
.hide-on-small-and-down
.hide-on-med-and-down
.hide-on-med-and-up
.hide-on-med-only
.hide-on-large-only
.show-on-large
.show-on-medium
.show-on-small
.show-on-medium-and-up
.show-on-medium-and-down
Sass
								
@media #{$small-and-down} {
	// styles for small screens and down
}
@media #{$medium-and-up} {
	// styles for medium screens and larger
}
@media #{$medium-and-down} {
	// styles for medium screens and down
}
@media #{$large-and-up} {
	// styles for large screens and up
}

Prefixer

One major goal of this framework is to be as adaptable as possible which includes cross browser compatibility. We have adapted a prefixer script to Sass which will automatically add all browser prefixes for certain CSS properties.

For Example: Using this Sass mixin

								
@include transition(.3s);

Will Output This

								
-webkit-transition: 0.3s;
-moz-transition: 0.3s;
-o-transition: 0.3s;
-ms-transition: 0.3s;
transition: 0.3s;
