inset

Applies a logical inset shorthand from the spacing scale or a raw CSS length.

MDN: logical properties
import { inset } from "@sdxc/u/layout";

Quick reference

Every documented call, beside the CSS it emits.

CallCSS
u.inset(4)css({ inset: "calc(var(--ui-spacing, 0.25rem) * 4)" })
u.inset(0, "auto")css({ insetBlock: "0", insetInline: "auto" })
u.inset(1, 2, 3, 4)css({ insetBlockStart: "...", insetInlineEnd: "...", insetBlockEnd: "...", insetInlineStart: "..." })

Examples

Basic example

Use inset(n) to offset a positioned element from every side of its container at once:

inset(4)
<div mix={[relative(), is(64), bs(36), ...]}>
	<div mix={[absolute(), inset(4), ...]}>inset(4)</div>
</div>

Block and inline offsets

Pass two values to offset the block axis and then the inline axis, like inset(2, 12):

inset(2, 12)
<div mix={[relative(), is(64), bs(36), ...]}>
	<div mix={[absolute(), inset(2, 12), ...]}>inset(2, 12)</div>
</div>

Setting each side

Pass four values to offset block-start, inline-end, block-end and inline-start in that order:

inset(2, 4, 12, 16)
<div mix={[relative(), is(80), bs(36), ...]}>
	<div mix={[absolute(), inset(2, 4, 12, 16), ...]}>inset(2, 4, 12, 16)</div>
</div>

Using a custom value

Every scale argument also takes a raw CSS value, which passes through untouched.

u.inset("2.75rem")

Applying on a state

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

u.hover(u.inset(4))

Responsive design

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

u.at("md", u.inset(4))

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:

inset(4)

Signature

u.inset(...values: SpacingValue[])
