rocketfuel.sass

App-like mobile apps with ease 🚀

Rocketfuel helps building up mobile views built in HTML/CSS. It is no full-blown CSS framework, but especially handles layouting responsive fullscreen views.

Install

Manual

1. Copy the contents of /src in a dedicated folder in your project (eg /assets/rocketfuel)
2. Import with @import 'rocketfuel' (mind the relative path)

Better: Use npm

npm install @pocket-rocket/rocketfuel

Then import the module in your manifest css file (eg main.sass) with

@import "@pocket-rocket/rocketfuel"

⚠️ Please be aware, that you need to have SASS available in your project, eg. by adding node-sass or dart-sass.

Usage

• Wrap every view in a wrapper with the viewport class

Building a scrollable view

• Just throw all your content in the viewport wrapper
• The viewport will be automatically be scrollable, if the content runs out of view

Building a fixed fullscreen view

• Add the modifier class is-fullscreen to the viewport wrapper
• Inside, build your layout using the following classes:

An example for a Vue.js view:

<template>
  <div class="viewport mimimi-intro">
    <div class="rel-25">
      <img src="@/assets/ice_cold.png" class="logo" />
    </div>
    <div class="flex">
      <img src="@/assets/ice_cold.png" class="logo" />
    </div>
    <div class="abs-10"></div>
    <div class="flex"></div>
  </div>  
</template>  

In this example, the first row takes up 25% of the viewport. The third row takes up exactly 10rem. The second and fourth row distribute the remaining space equally.

Spacing

Rocketfuel comes with handy spacing helpers, that makes positioning very comfy and flexible. It is heavily inspired by Bulma.io

The spacing helper classes are composed of three elements:

• margin/padding (m/p)
• side:
  • t/r/b/l for top/right/bottom/left
  • x/y for left and right / top and bottom
  • <none> for all sides
• - Separator
• value: 0 to 6 (0/0.25rem/0.5rem/0.75rem/1rem/1.5rem/3rem)

Examples:

.mr-4  \\ 1rem right margin
.px-3  \\ 0.75rem padding on left and right
.m-1   \\ 0.25rem margin on all sides

Image sizing

Images are automatically scaled to 100% of their parent container, thus always wrap images in a parent wrapper and define the height with that. In case you really need to scale an image, you need to modify min-height with a relative value (eg. 90%). Do not set height directly.

Positioning

If you need to position an image or other element, use the transform property, whenever possible. Do not position elements with position: fixed or position: absolute unless you're absolutely sure, what you're doing :)

In most cases you can just use the spacing helpers described above.
