Adaptive Placeholders
====================
Adaptive placeholders is a Sass mixin for an interactive form placeholder initially made by [Danny King](https://twitter.com/dannykingme).
This Sass mixin comes with additional settings to help you easily configure the placeholder to match your design.
Note: I no longer maintain this repository.
## Screenshot
Adaptive Placeholder works with both text input fields and textarea.
## Requirements
- Sass v3.3 and above
- You have Normalize.css in the project
## Installation
Download the project either by downloading the zip, or using Bower
$ bower install adaptive-placeholders
## Usage
Add Adaptive Placeholders into your project and import it into your main stylesheet with
@import "pathToAdaptivePlaceholders/adaptive-placeholders";
Write your HTML in this way:
Then call the mixin.
input {
@include adaptive-placeholder();
}
## Customizing Adaptive Placeholder.
Adaptive placeholder comes with a set of defaults ready to use.
$adaptive-placeholder: (
height: 3em,
margin: 1em,
border: 1px,
border-radius: 1.5em,
font-size: 1em,
border-color: #cccccc,
label-color: #999999,
active-color: #e87e22,
valid-color: #23a045,
placeholder-background-color: white,
textarea: false
);
You can create your own settings for adaptive-placeholder by creating a Sass map named $adaptive-placeholder. Any defaults not overwritten will be added to the Sass map.
// Defining new defaults
$adaptive-placeholder: (
height: 4em;
)
// Calling Adaptive placeholders
input {
@include adaptive-placeholder();
}
The adaptive placeholders provides you with a optional argument to insert a sass map if you would like to keep the defaults intact, or would like to include a second style.
input {
@include adaptive-placeholder($optional-map);
}
## Working with Textareas
Textareas are styled differently from inputs items. To use adaptive placeholders with textareas, write your html the same way as you would use adaptive placeholders for input.
Create a new sass map for textareas and call it. Make sure textarea is set to true in the sass map.
$textarea-placeholder : (
height: 18em,
border-radius: 6px,
textarea: true,
)
// Call textarea placeholder
textarea {
@include adaptive-placeholder($textarea-placeholder);
}
Alternatively, you can insert the sass map directly into the mixin.
// Call textarea placeholder
textarea {
@include adaptive-placeholder((height: 18em, border-radius: 6px, textarea:true));
}
