## About

> ITSCSS is a mobile-first, responsive, battle-tested SCSS framework based on the ITCSS methodology utilizing the BEM methodology.

This boilerplate is intented to be used as a starting point in your application. You should use this as a foundation for your CSS and build on top of it.

If you want to use the full capabilities of this boilerplate such as variables, mixins, etc., then you should include it in your SCSS files.

You can also use the plain CSS version which lacks mixins and other useful tools.

## Install

```sh
# Via NPM
npm i itscss

# Via Yarn
yarn add itscss
```

## Usage

If you are using a module bundler (such as Webpack, Parcel, Browserify):

```sh
# In your SCSS entrypoint
@import 'itscss';

# Or if the above does not resolve, try
@import 'itscss/index.scss';
```

There are several predefined variables which you can overwrite:

```css
/* Color Variables */
$color-base: #333;
$color-white: #fff;
$color-black: #000;
$color-action: #ef4c23;

/* Text Variables */
$font-sans-serif: sans-serif;
$font-serif: serif;
$font-monospace: monospace;

$font-size-base: 1rem;
$line-height-base: 1.35;

$font-size-h1: 2rem;
$font-size-h2: 1.75rem;
$font-size-h3: 1.5rem;
$font-size-h4: 1.25rem;
$font-size-h5: $font-size-base;
$font-size-h6: 0.75rem;

/* Transition Variables */
$timing: 0.4s;
$easing: ease-in-out;

/* Spacing between grid items */
$gap: 0.5rem;

/* Number of columns in the grid */
$columns: 12;

/* The maximum width of the shell container */
$shell-width: 75rem;

/* The left and right padding of the shell container */
$shell-gap: 1rem;

/* Responsive breakpoints */
$small-desktop: 1439px;
$tablet-landscape: 1279px;
$tablet-portrait: 1023px;
$mobile: 767px;

/*
A map of breakpoints used to create
the grid columns rules and
the responsive utility classnames
*/
$breakpoints: (
xs: (
min: 0,
max: $mobile
),
sm: (
min: $mobile + 1,
max: $tablet-portrait
),
md: (
min: $tablet-portrait + 1,
max: $tablet-landscape
),
lg: (
min: $tablet-landscape + 1,
max: $small-desktop
),
xl: (
min: $small-desktop + 1
)
);

/* A list of display properties */
$displays: 'block', 'inline', 'inline-block', 'flex', 'inline-flex';

/* A list of text alignment properties */
$alignments: 'center', 'right', 'left', 'justify';

/*
A map of elements used to define z-index property.
See Functions section below for more details.
*/
$z-indexes: (
header: (),
main: (
alert: (),
content: (
title,
inner,
overlay
),
aside: ()
),
footer: (),
modal: ()
);
```

**You should place the overwriting variables before the `@import` statement.**
