Size

The foundation of our CSS size utilities are sourced from SUIT CSS, including:

  • u-sizeFit - Make an element shrink wrap its content with flex-basis.
  • u-sizeFull - Make an element the width of its parent.
  • u-sizeFill - Make an element fill the remaining space. Distribute space evenly on multiple elements.
  • u-sizeFillAlt - An alternative method to make an element fill the remaining space. Distribute space based on element width.
  • u-sizeXofY (numerous) - Specify the proportional width of an object.
  • u-sizeAuto - Sets the width of an element to auto (usually used to overwrite other width declarations).

X must be an integer less than Y.

Y can be any of the following numbers: 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12.

You can also limit sizing to specific breakpoints:

  • u-sm-sizeXofY - To use at the smallest Media Query breakpoint.
  • u-md-sizeXofY - To use at the medium Media Query breakpoint.
  • u-lg-sizeXofY - To use at the largest Media Query breakpoint.

We've also added classes to reset element sizes at certain breakpoints:

  • u-sm-sizeAuto - Element's width is set to auto at the smallest Media Query breakpoint.
  • u-md-sizeAuto - Element's width is set to auto at the medium Media Query breakpoint.
  • u-lg-sizeAuto - Element's width is set to auto at the larg Media Query breakpoint.

We've added some special size utilties as well:

  • u-sizeThumbnail - Roughly matches the size of the Thumbnail component.

Sometimes you need to override the site default box-sizing: border-box. For example, if you applied u-sizeThumbnail but needed to prevent any padding on the element from reducing the size.

  • u-boxSizingContent - Changes the box-sizing to content-box.
