Getting Started
Since Plume is scoped, after installing it, you must add the plume class on a wrapper div to apply local styles, or add it on the body tag to style the entire page. You can also add the pm-container class to have a containerized wrapper.
<!-- apply styles to entire document -->
<body class="plume"> ... </body>
<!-- wrapper with plume local style -->
<div class="plume"> ... </div>
Now you're ready to go
Loading by Modules
When you load plume-all.css or import 'plume-all', you bring the entire Plume lib to your app. Thats ok since the complete lib has only 5kb gziped. But you may want to load only some modules, as Buttons, or Form styles for example. You just need to load the plume-core module, then load the modules you want:
import 'plume-css/lib/plume-core'
or
<link rel="stylesheet" href="plume-css/lib/plume-core.css">
Now you can load the modules that you want. The following modules are available
- typography
- buttons
- form
- tables
- lists
- pre-code
- effects
- utilities
So, if you want to add only typography and buttons, for example, you can do:
import 'plume-css/lib/plume-core';
import 'plume-css/lib/typography';
import 'plume-css/lib/buttons';
Or
<link rel="stylesheet" href="lib/plume-core.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="lib/typography.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" href="lib/buttons.css">
This method is specially useful if you want to import Plume styles on your SCSS projects.
@import 'plume-css/lib/plume-core.css';
@import 'plume-css/lib/typography.css';
h1 {
// this will override plume's H1 default style
}
Utilities
Plume apply styles on bare components, but there is a large set of functional utilities - classes and data properties - that you can apply on your elements to alter its behavior. You can check the complete list of Utilities on this link: https://felippe-regazio.github.io/plume-css/.
NOTE: Plume is scoped under a main class plume by default, and all the classes and properties are prefixed with pm- by default. This guarantee highly compatibility and Collision Free CSS. If you are interested in change Plume's main class and prefix, please read the Building from Source section of this README.
Theming
Plume is written using a lot of custom properties (70+) that controls important aspects of the default style. Here we assume that you are familiarized with "CSS Custom Properties". You can override these properties to alter default elements style, or to create your own custom Theme. So, a custom theme is nothing more then a set of CSS Custom Properties overriding. You can check the complete Plume's Custom Properties List on the Github Page. You can add a theme by:
-
Creating and downloading or Theme using the theme editor on Plume's Github Page.
-
Manually overriding the variables on your code
HTML & Body Normalizing
Plume is already normalized, but since its scoped, it cant access the HMTL and Body directly. So, to completely normalize the entire APP you must also normalize the HTML and Body. To do it, just use this snippet:
html {
line-height: 1.15; /* 1 */
-webkit-text-size-adjust: 100%; /* 2 */
}
body {
margin: 0;
}
