EDGE FRAMEWORK
==========================
Edge is a light-weight responsive Sass framework. No gimmick, just the barebone to build modern website.
It is based on [Foundation by ZURB](http://www.zurb.com).
**OUR PHILOSOPHY**
My personal preference is to have a framework not do something and implement it myself than have a framework do something and figure out how to do the opposite.
INSTALLATION
-----------------
gem install edge_framework
Windows PC doesn't come with Ruby pre-installed, so you can follow [this Ruby installation guide](https://docs.google.com/document/d/155e-Dx4SnQj_bMrM24kI4_ZEmBp-TQ_tuinhMvZsIhM/edit?usp=sharing) we wrote.
After you installed Ruby, type in the command above on `cmd` (command prompt).
BROWSER SUPPORT
------------------
All modern browsers:
- Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Opera
- Android 4.0 and above
- IE 9 and above
GRID SYSTEM
==================
.row
.column
.large-x
.small-x
Our Grid is divided into **12 columns**. Start with "row" followed by "column" used in conjunction with its width.
![Edge Grid - Large only](http://cdn.setyono.net/edge/grid-large.jpg)
![Edge Grid - Large and Small](http://cdn.setyono.net/edge/grid-large-small.jpg)
The element doesn't have to be div, it can be section, article, header, etc.
Sizing:
- Large - above 768px
- Small - below or equal to 768px, width will be 100% if not specified.
**Convention**:
- Don't add your own style to the `.row` and `.column` elements.
Nesting
-----------
![Edge Grid - Nesting](http://cdn.setyono.net/edge/grid-nesting.jpg)
Collapse
-----------
.row.collapse
Remove the gutter.
All nested rows inside collapsed one will be collapsed too.
![Edge Grid - Collapse](http://cdn.setyono.net/edge/grid-collapse.jpg)
Centering
-----------
.centered
.small-centered
Horizontally centering a column.
It is inherited on small screen.
![Edge Grid - Centered](http://cdn.setyono.net/edge/grid-centered.jpg)
Offset
-----------
.offset-x
.small-offset-x
Offset leaves a **gap** before the column.
It is ignored on small screen unless the small sizing is specified.
![Edge Grid - Offset](http://cdn.setyono.net/edge/grid-offset.jpg)
Column Ordering
-----------------
push-x
pull-x
**Push** pushes the column to the right, while **Pull** pulls it to the left.
They are ignored on small screen.
**Example**:
Create a sidebar that is located on the left. But if viewed with phone, it is on the bottom.
The snippet above will look like this:
![Edge Grid - Ordering](http://cdn.setyono.net/edge/grid-ordering.jpg)
GRID SYSTEM - TILE
=================
ul.tile-x
ul.small-tile-x
Evenly divides the list into block size.
![Edge Grid - Tile](http://cdn.setyono.net/edge/grid-tile.jpg)
Each tile will expand 100% on small screen when the small size is not specified.
Just like row, you can collapse it:
**Convention**:
- In your own stylesheet, don't name a class that contains the word "tile".
- Don't add your own style to the `.tile` and `.tile > li` elements.
TYPOGRAPHY
======================
Outside of CSS reset, we don't offer much feature regarding Typography.
Default Unordered list (ul) has bullet point, but most of the time we don't need it. So, we made a convention on how to write `ul`.
Without class
...
Result:
• List 1
• List 2
• List 3
With any class
Result:
List 1
List 2
List 3
If you want horizontal list, add `.inline-list` class.
Result:
List 1 List 2 List 3
VISIBILITY
==================
.hide-for-
.show-for-
= large / small / mini
**Hide** means hidden only on that size. **Show** means visible only on that size.
Sizing:
- Large - above 768px
- Small - below or equal to 768px
- Mini - below or equal to 480px
**VISIBILITY SCALE**
0-----480-----768------------->
|-mini-|
|----small-----|
|----large----->
Notice that small size includes the mini portion too.
**VISIBILITY TABLE**
✓ = visible
Large Small Mini
.hide-for-large - ✓ ✓
.hide-for-small ✓ - -
.hide-for-mini ✓ ✓ -
.show-for-large ✓ - -
.show-for-small - ✓ ✓
.show-for-mini - - ✓
From the table, we can see that some classes like `.hide-for-large` and `.show-for-small` have same result. It is up to your preference on which word makes more sense.
EXAMPLE
--------------
Sidebar hidden on mini screen
Slider visible only on large screen
// or
BOILERPLATE GENERATOR
========================
Generate basic template for your project. Run this command inside your project directory:
1. Static HTML
`edge create html`
2. Wordpress 3.8+ (Min PHP 5.3)
`edge create wordpress`
3. Rails (run inside Rails project)
`rails g edge:install`
4. Coming soon: Sinatra and Flask
WORDPRESS
====================
![Edge Wordpress](http://cdn.setyono.net/edge/wp-edge.jpg)
Features:
- Auto add header and footer.
- Independent from any plugin.
- Cleaner WP Query call.
- Easily create custom post type and taxonomy.
Custom WP Query
---------------------
Post::find()
get all posts.
Post::find($args_array)
get post(s) based on the arguments array.
Post::find_by($key, $value)
faster way of writing Post::find(array( $key => $value ))
All of the functions above returns `WP_Query()` object. [Refer here](https://gist.github.com/luetkemj/2023628) for available argument.
Example:
$posts = Post::find_by("category_name", "featured");
if( $posts->have_posts() ):
while( $posts->have_posts() ): $posts->the_post();
...
endwhile;
endif;
Custom Post Type
--------------------
![Wordpress Custom Type](http://cdn.setyono.net/edge/wp-post-type.jpg)
add_post_type( $name, <$icon>, <$taxonomy> )
Inside `functions.php`, add these codes:
add_post_type("Product", "cart", "Brand");
add_post_type("Event", "calendar");
The icon name is taken from [melchoyce.github.io/dashicons/](http://melchoyce.github.io/dashicons/).
To enable custom WP Query, create a class with the Post Type's name that extends `Post`.
// still inside functions.php
class Product extends Post {}
class Event extends Post {}
Now, you can use the custom WP Query:
$products = Product::find_by("brand", "Microsoft")
$events = Event::find()
**Alert**: If you want pagination to work, the Name cannot be the same as any page's slug.
Template File
---------------
The template file for custom post is `single-{slug}.php` while custom taxonomy is `taxonomy-{slug}.php`.
Based on the example above, create `single-product.php` for single **Product** template. If we need to list all products within a brand, create `taxonomy-brand.php` which works the same way as `category.php`.
Naming Convention
-----------------
All names must be **singular**.
No special character except space. If contain space, the class' name should be its combined word and no camel casing.
add_post_type("Photo Gallery", "format-gallery");
class Photogallery extends Post {}
COMPASS
=================
![Edge Compass](http://cdn.setyono.net/edge/compass-edge.jpg)
The generated template includes **config.rb** for Compass. So, we can compile it using the command:
compass watch
Inside the template, go to `assets/sass/` and you will see `_settings.scss`. This file overrides the default styling like primary color or column's gutter.
Just uncomment the variable and change the value. For example:
// $column-gutter : 20px;
Become:
$column-gutter : 30px;
EM Converter
===============
.post p {
font-size: em(14px);
}
// Result
.post p {
font-size: 0.875em;
}
The default em size is 16px. It is defined in variable `$body-font-size`.
If the base size is not default, pass it as second parameter:
Hello World
.title {
font-size: em(40px);
em {
font-size: em(45px, 40px);
}
}
GRID - mixin
======================
row()
$gutter : px - Gutter for columns inside this row
$width : px - The row's max width.
$collapse : bool
column()
$size : int - The large sizing
$small : int - The small sizing
$mini : int - The mini sizing (below 480px)
$offset : int
$push : int
$pull : int
$collapse : bool
$centered : bool
$gutter : px
$total : int - Total number of columns
Custom grid makes the markup cleaner and easier to change.
// HTML
// SCSS
aside.column {
@include column(2, 4, 12);
// or
@include column($size: 2, $small: 4, $mini: 12);
}
.my-col {
@include column(10, 8, 12);
// or
@include column($size: 10, $small: 8, $mini: 12);
}
**Convention**:
- We need to include the base class in the markup (`.row` and `.column`).
### GUTTER
Custom gutter must be applied to both row and column.
// HTML
// SCSS
.my-row {
@include row($gutter: 50px);
}
aside.column {
@include column($size: 2, $gutter: 50px);
}
.my-col {
@include column($size: 10, $gutter: 50px);
}
### COLLAPSE
Collapse must be applied to both row and column.
.my-row {
@include row($collapse: true);
}
.my-col {
@include column($size: 10, $collapse: true);
}
### TOTAL COLUMNS
You can either use `$total` parameter or fraction:
.my-col {
@include column($size: 7, $offset: 3, $total: 15);
}
// or
.my-col {
@include column($size: 7 / 15, $offset: 3 / 15);
}
GRID PIXEL *beta
===============
column-px()
$size : px
$width : px
$gutter : px
$centered : boolean
Let's say a designers gives you a design that doesn't follow grid system. Here's an example:
![Pre-given Design](http://cdn.setyono.net/edge/custom-total-column.jpg)
With `column-px()` mixin, we can create that layout easily:
// HTML
// SCSS
.my-row {
@include row($gutter: 35px);
}
.my-col {
@include column-px($size: 500px, $width: 735px, $gutter: 35px);
}
.side-col {
@include column-px($size: 200px, $width: 735px, $gutter: 35px);
}
TILE - mixin
======================
tile()
$size : int
$small : int
$mini : int
$gutter : px,
$collapse : bool
Mini sizing is available for tile's mixin too.
.products {
@include tile($size: 7, $small: 4, $mini: 2);
// or
@include tile(7, 4, 2);
}
MEDIA QUERY - mixin
=========================
below($size)
above($size)
between($smaller-size, $larger-size)
$size = large / small / mini
**Below** means less than or equal to (`<=`).
**Above** means more than (`>`).
**Between** is inclusive to both (`>= smaller-size` and `<= larger-size`).
p {
color: black;
@include above(small) {
color: blue;
}
@include below(small) {
color: yellow;
}
}
You can use pixel too:
p {
color: black;
@include above(850px) {
color: pink;
}
@include between(300px, 400px) {
color: green;
}
}
VISIBILITY - mixin
========================
We don't offer mixin for visibility. Use media query instead:
.sidebar {
@include below(small) {
display: none;
}
}
RAILS
=================
![Edge Rails](http://cdn.setyono.net/edge/rails-edge.jpg)
Gemfile:
gem 'sass'
gem 'sass-rails', '~> 4.0.0'
gem 'compass-rails'
gem 'edge_framework', '~> 1.2'
Template generator:
rails g edge:install
The command will give you Edge's SCSS files and append the pipeline.
FAQ
===============
1. Is Edge a mobile-first framework?
No it is not.
