File structure


File structure is very important when you are planning a system/framework. When you start creating something, it needs an evolution. So according to development process your system is evolving. It changes a lot when your system is evolving. So, let's create a simple structure:

  • Useful mixins:

    • Short forms of useful elements

    • Inline list

    • Primitives

    • Clearfix

    • Simple gradient generators

  • Grid mixins:

    • n of n grid

  • Forms:

    • Input/textarea styling helpers

    • Input placeholders

  • Buttons:

    • Inline (with auto-width)

    • Full-width

  • Standard navigation:

    • One level

    • Two level

We will use mixins instead of already created classes. Why? We want to reduce CSS code as much as we can so that, when we generate full 12 grid, we will produce 12 classes in each breakpoint in media queries. As frontend developers, we want to create as much code as needed. Of course, we can reuse some classes and extend them with SASS, but the main approach of this framework is simple and reusable mixins.
