General Padding
The padding utilities have 5 and 10 pixels incrementations from 0 to 150 pixels. They use rem
units,
but their names reflect the pixel value they correspond to in a default hgrid setup. Applying
.padding-60
to an element gives it 6rem of visually adjusted padding on all sides, which corresponds to 60px.
By «visually adjusted» we mean that hgrid adds a slightly reduced top and bottom padding in an attempt to compensate for line height and other that is often found around text content.
Utility Name | CSS Property |
---|---|
.p-0 / .padding-0 |
padding: 0; |
.p-5 / .padding-5 |
padding: 0.4rem 0.5rem; /* visual adjustment top/bottom */ |
.p-10 / .padding-10 |
padding: 0.8rem 1rem; /* visual adjustment top/bottom */ |
.p-20 / .padding-10 |
padding: 1.6rem 2rem; /* visual adjustment top/bottom */ | etc. ... |
.p-150 / .padding-150 |
padding: 12rem 15rem; /* visual adjustment top/bottom */ |
Code example:
<div class="bg-gray padding-60 max-content-max">
<p class="bg-gray-dark border-gray-lighter border-dashed text-white">
The ecommerce site had an average conversion rate of 2.1%.
</p>
</div>
Result:
The ecommerce site had an average conversion rate of 2.1%.
Individual Padding
<div class="bg-gray pt-20 pr-90 pb-100 pl-30 max-content-max">
<p class="bg-gray-dark border-gray-lighter border-dashed">
Starting small is always a great way to start with freelancing.
</p>
</div>
Result:
Starting small is always a great way to start with freelancing.
Utility Name | CSS Property |
---|---|
.pt-0 / .padding-top-0 |
padding-top: 0; |
.pt-5 / .padding-top-5 |
padding-top: 0.4rem; /* 1px visual adjustment */ |
.pt-10 / .padding-top-10 |
padding-top: 1rem; |
.pt-20 / .padding-top-20 |
padding-top: 2rem; |
etc. ... | |
.pt-140 / .padding-top-140 |
padding-top: 14rem; |
.pt-150 / .padding-top-150 |
padding-top: 15rem; |
These utility names are available by following the pattern above:
.pr-{*}
/.padding-right-{*}
.pb-{*}
/.padding-bottom-{*}
.pl-{*}
/.padding-left-{*}
Values: 0, 5, 10, 20 ... up to 150.
Responsive Overrides
Let's revisit the example above and add a responsive modification. On screens smaller than tablets in
landscape mode we want to remove the padding-top completely. We'll use
the .tablet-landscape-pt-0
utility:
<div class="bg-gray pt-50 pr-90 pb-80 pl-40 tablet-landscape-pt-0 max-content-max">
<p class="bg-gray-dark border-gray-lighter border-dashed">
Starting small is always a great way to start with freelancing.
</p>
</div>
The result can now be seen by scaling your viewport down to 1024 pixels or less:
Starting small is always a great way to start with freelancing.
Use the override utilities along this pattern:
.desktop-large-p-5
.desktop-large-pt-5
.desktop-large-pr-5
.desktop-large-pb-5
.desktop-large-pl-5
.desktop-large-p-10
.desktop-large-pt-10
.desktop-large-pr-10
.desktop-large-pb-10
.desktop-large-pl-10
etc. ... incremented by 10
.phone-landscape-p-150
.phone-landscape-pt-150
.phone-landscape-pr-150
.phone-landscape-pb-150
.phone-landscape-pl-150
The default viewport laptop
(<=1280px) is excluded from the screen names you can use to construct these overrides.
Your alternatives are: .desktop-large
(>1680px), .desktop
(>1280px),
.tablet-landscape
(<=1024px), .tablet-portrait
(<=900px),
.phone-landscape
(<=768px) and .phone
(<=600px).
Each group of overrides goes up to 150.
