Examples

Basic example

Use maxBs(n) to cap an element's block size, and pair it with overflowY("auto") to scroll whatever does not fit:

Margins, padding and sizes in this package follow the writing mode, so a layout written once reads correctly in every language. A card padded on its inline start keeps that padding where a sentence begins, whichever side of the screen that is, and the same holds for a list, a sidebar or a toolbar.

<div mix={[maxBs(32), is(72), overflowY("auto"), ...]}>
	<p mix={[...]}>

	</p>
</div>

Content shorter than the cap

A maximum only limits: an element shorter than maxBs(24) keeps its own size, and one asking for more stops at the cap:

bs(12)
bs(48)
<div mix={[hstack({ gap: 4, align: "start" })]}>
	<div mix={[maxBs(24), bs(12), is(40), ...]}>bs(12)</div>
	<div mix={[maxBs(24), bs(48), is(40), ...]}>bs(48)</div>
</div>

Applying on a state

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

u.hover(u.maxBs("full"))

Responsive design

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

u.at("md", u.maxBs("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:

maxBs(4)

Signature

u.maxBs(value: SizeValue)
