Primer CSS is a free open-source CSS framework that is built upon systems that create the foundation of the basic style elements such as spacing, typography, and color. This systematic method makes sure our patterns are steady and interoperable with every other. Its approach to CSS is influenced by Object-Oriented CSS principles, functional CSS, and BEM architecture. It is highly reusable and flexible. It is created with GitHub’s design system.
Breakpoints are based on screen widths where our content starts to break and breakpoints may change as we move more of the product into responsive layouts. The specific breakpoints can be utilized to implement the particular responsive style. It is mainly used to change the size of containers according to the screen size and different breakpoints. Abbreviations are used to keep the class names concise and the abbreviations are used consistently across responsive styles.
The Components of Breakpoints:
- Breakpoint and up: Breakpoint and up are used with the min-width which means if you assign any breakpoint in your web page and if you cross that breakpoint then your UI will change according to your specification. In simple words, the CSS property will change when you cross the breakpoint.
- Breakpoint variables: Values are defined as variables and then you can put them into a Sass map that generates the media query mixin.
- Media query mixins: When you want to change CSS properties at a particular breakpoint then you can use media query mixins and the media query mixin works by passing in a breakpoint value, such as breakpoint(md).
- Responsive variants: This is a variable mapping of breakpoints to classname variants.
