[ @sdxc/u/size ]

block-size

Applies block-size — the logical height, which is the physical width in a vertical writing mode.

import { bs } from "@sdxc/u/size";

Quick reference

Every documented call, beside the CSS it emits.

CallCSS
u.bs("full")css({ blockSize: "100%" })

Examples

Basic example

Use bs(n) with a step of the spacing scale, like bs(16) or bs(32), to set an element's block size, its height in horizontal text:

bs(12)
bs(20)
bs(28)
bs(36)
bs(44)
<div mix={[hstack({ gap: 4, align: "end" })]}>
	<div mix={[bs(12), is(20), ...]}>bs(12)</div>
	<div mix={[bs(20), is(20), ...]}>bs(20)</div>
	<div mix={[bs(28), is(20), ...]}>bs(28)</div>
	<div mix={[bs(36), is(20), ...]}>bs(36)</div>
	<div mix={[bs(44), is(20), ...]}>bs(44)</div>
</div>

Filling the parent

Use bs("full") to fill the block size of a parent that sets one, or pass any CSS length as a string, like bs("50%"):

bs("full")
bs("50%")
<div mix={[hstack({ gap: 4, align: "start" }), bs(48), p(4), ...]}>
	<div mix={[bs("full"), is(28), ...]}>bs("full")</div>
	<div mix={[bs("50%"), is(28), ...]}>bs("50%")</div>
</div>

Vertical writing modes

bs() sizes the block axis, so in a vertical writing mode like vertical-rl it sets the element's width instead of its height:

horizontal-tb
vertical-rl
<div mix={[...]}>
	<div mix={[bs(16), is(40), ...]}>horizontal-tb</div>
	<div mix={[bs(16), is(40), raw({ writingMode: "vertical-rl" }), ...]}>
		vertical-rl
	</div>
</div>

Applying on a state

Wrap the call in a state utility to scope it to one selector.

u.hover(u.bs("full"))

Responsive design

Wrap the call in a container query to scope it to one width.

u.at("md", u.bs("full"))

Customizing your theme

Customizing spacing

Every numeric step multiplies --ui-spacing, so redefining it rescales every spacing and sizing utility at once:

:root {
	--ui-spacing: 0.25rem;
}

Every call that names the step now reads the new value:

bs(4)

Signature

u.bs(value: SizeValue)
