Available classes

By default we generate classes for 12 columns but it can be configured with the $columns setting.

• .u-colstart-X, spans over the designated number of columns
• .u-colstart-X@[QUERY-NAME]: applies colstart at the given media query. (available in $in-query SCSS setting)

Configurable variables

SCSS variables

• $columns, number of columns we generate classes for, defaults to defaults.$columns
• $in-query: a list of breakpoints where .u-colstart-X@[QUERY-NAME] is generated for, defaults to: ()

You can overwrite the SCSS variables the following ways:

// in your manifest file, eg. `styles.scss`
@use 'node_modules/@supple-kit/supple-css/utilities/colstart' with (
  $columns: 10,
  $in-query: (
    lap,
    desk,
  )
);

or

// in your own variable file, eg. `_vars.scss`
@use 'node_modules/@supple-kit/supple-css/utilities/colstart/variables' with (
  $in-query: (
    lap,
    desk,
  )
);

// in your manifest file, eg. `styles.scss`
@use 'node_modules/@supple-kit/supple-css/utilities/colstart';
