Gamma 6

Like Cirrus 0.6.0, 0.7.0 was another large undertaking that brought a large refactor of the entire codebase to prioritize configurability and enhance overall developer experience. This rewrite represents the first step in how Cirrus is repositioning as a component-and-utility-centric SCSS framework.

With this, there will be some breaking changes when upgrading to 0.7.0, but this release note entry should make the changes painless to do.

There are a ton of things that were added in this new update, but below are a few big ones I want to highlight.

A new way to use Cirrus

With previous versions, the only ways to use Cirrus was to either linking the CDN link at the top of your page or importing cirrus-ui into your Node project.

This is fine, but it lacked any sort of customization. The only way to change Cirrus was to clone the project and build your own version locally. Dart Sass has given me immense opportunity to improve Cirrus's usability and fix technical debt and hacks. One of the things it also enabled was directly importing Cirrus into your Sass/Scss project directly.

Not only can you import different pre-configured versions of Cirrus, but also take advantage of all the functions, mixins, constants, etc. that Cirrus comes built with.

// main.scss
@use "node_modules/cirrus-ui/cirrus-core" as *; // Core build OR
@use "node_modules/cirrus-ui/src/cirrus-ext" as *; // Extended build

@screen-above($md) {
    .my-class {
        background-color: rgba(#{hex-to-rgb(fill('blue', '600'))}, .25);
    }
}

No more having to build Cirrus separately and then copying and pasting the generated styles to your project. Read more on this here.

Focus on configurability

One of the things this rewrite aimed to accomplish was configurability. In the past, CSS frameworks were just things we plop into our project and we either accepted styles it gave us or we spent countless hours overriding them to fit our needs. Why should we continue to subject ourselves to that amount of torture?

0.7.0 marks a big step in dynamic class generation. Whether you are building Cirrus locally or you're importing Cirrus directly into your Sass files, you can take advantage of defining a configuration object in both scenarios when you import the framework. Use the configuration object to specify viewports for classes, extend existing component and utility styles, toggle features, and more.

@use "node_modules/cirrus-ui/src/cirrus-ext" as * with (
    $config: (
        excludes: (
            ABSOLUTES,
        ),
        opacity: null, // Disable default opacity classes
        extend: (
            // Add your own
            opacity: (
                25: .25,
                50: .5,
                75: .75,
            )
        )
    ),
);

Currently most utility classes and components can be customized through here in this release, but I hope to extend this capability a lot more in future updates. Read more on this here.

Revamped colors

Default colors have been tuned a bit for increased vibrancy and range. Of course, these colors can be customized via the configuration object as well.

Utils, utils, and more utils

Utility classes within Cirrus have grown to be quite popular. This update adds utility classes for:

• Letter Spacing
• Flex
  • Wrap
  • Grow/Shrink
• Color Opacity
• Flex/Grid Gap
• Font Size
• Box Shadow
• Border Radius
• Min/Max Height/Width
• Font Weights
• Opacity
• Z-Index

A lot of classes have also seen the introduction of viewport variants. Those can be found in the class specific documentation in the docs page.

Components

This update wasn't as focused on introducing new components, but it was not forgotten. Some of the new components styles are:

• Breadcrumbs
• Progress
• New Animations

Gamma 5

Cirrus 0.6.3 mainly focuses on making existing classes more consistent, fixing existing UI bugs, and introducing some new bigger changes like Tags and viewport support for margin/padding.

In the mean time, I have been working quite hard on Cirrus Blocks which gives developers a faster way to prototype with Cirrus with a large collection of new components built using Cirrus. You can check out the repository here.

🎉 Features

• Update headline font sizes to have less of a gap from h1. 7d63a17
• Update header font sizes for h1 and h2. 718d676
• Move :root declaration from theme.scss to default.scss to prevent conflicts when importing into Node project. 3def8a2
• Rewrite tags 65f4fd9 0cd2358 #69
  • Deprecated old sizing classes like xsmall, small, etc. to be replaced by common sizing conventions like sm. See breaking changes for more details.
  • Add new tag sizes xs, sm, and md.
  • Fix tag padding.
• Add support for viewports for margin and padding classes. 1a6f8aa #68
  • This means classes like p-3-md or m-1-lg is now supported for all viewports xs, sm, md, lg, and xl.

  • tag—large => tag—lg
  • tag—xlarge => tag-xl

Gamma 4 Patch 1

🩹 0.6.2-Patch-1

• Minor patch that fixes:
  • Incorrect version displayed in CDN 8e9bbf4
  • Util class values incorrectly surrounded by quotes for cirrus.css and cirrus-core.css. Note that using these files are not recommended as these are much larger in size and not tested against. Please use the minified version of the files. bbc1549

Gamma 4

Cirrus 0.6.2 is a minor update that officially introduces viewport variants for utility classes. The viewport behavior is now consistent across all supported utility classes. For example, we can make a div have display: block only for md or higher just by adding the u-block-md class. The main concept here is that we design for the smallest screen width and only apply the modifications for larger widths (more on this later).

🎉 Features

• This update officially adds support for viewport classes for the following utilities:

  • Clearfix
  • Display
  • Flexbox
  • Position

• Streamline generation of viewport classes for different utilities. These utility classes follow a mobile-first design approach, meaning that something like u-flex will allow for all viewports. To change the behavior for sm, md, lg, or xl, we would need to apply additional modifier classes (see example below). c0e9980

  • In this example, here we start with u-flex for xs to sm. For md and above, we will use u-block.

    <div class="u-flex u-block-md">
        <!-- -->
    </div>

• Classes that apply on buttons such as default button styling, styling buttons in headers, etc. all now use a common selector. 1b6b997

• New overflow utility classes: 2ac8654

  • overflow-[auto/hidden/visible/scroll]
  • overflow-x-[auto/hidden/visible/scroll]
  • overflow-y-[auto/hidden/visible/scroll]

• Other refactoring: 0ef030b

  • Refactored code to extract more hard coded values to variables.
  • Removed usage of prefixed *-transition properties, not needed according to http://shouldiprefix.com
  • Removed remaining @media declaration in favor of screen-above, screen-below, and screen-between utilities
  • Deprecated font-italic
  • Added more group selectors

🐛 Fixes

• Removed excess padding on selects which broke the display in form groups.
  639f52f #59

💥 Breaking Changes

• Simplified position utility class naming: 9edfab5
  • u-position-static => u-static
  • u-position-fixed => u-fixed
  • u-position-absolute => u-absolute
  • u-position-relative => u-relative
  • u-position-sticky => u-sticky
• Renamed u-hide-overflow to u-overflow-hidden to be consistent with utility class naming conventions. 5774e4b
• Deprecated font-italitc, use <em></em> or <i></i> instead. 0ef030b

Gamma 3

Cirrus 0.6.1 is a minor update that addresses a few issues that were found in 0.6.0. It also corrects the column behaviors for xs, sm, etc. viewports to be more aligned with what is expected.

🎉 Features

• Added rounded tag groups, added primary color to control themes, updated BEM notation for tag. #49

• tile now inherits overflow rules. 4a4f276.

• Using multiple column breakpoint classes will now respond accordingly. For example with the code example below, the div will span 8 columns for large screens and above but will span 4 columns for all screen sizes up to large. This is more in line with the behavior seen in most major frameworks. e6a0fd2

  <div class="col-xs-4 col-lg-8"></div>

• Added BEM compliant class names for card. The old class names will still be supported but will be deprecated in a future release. #51

🐛 Fixes

• Removed extra space between label and input-control when the input contains an icon. #47
• Fixed tile not overflowing correctly in smaller screens. ad43bc2.
• Fixed inconsistent card UI when certain heights caused by overflowing text content. 8859388

💥 Breaking Changes

• Shifted column sizes down one step: new xs that begins at 0px, old xs -> new sm, old sm -> new md, old md -> new lg, old lg -> new xl. This is to have better consistency with the majority of viewports we see today. d2784b7
