Utility classes

Utility classes may be included in your HTML or applied using Utility classes in your Sass.

Utility Example Code
.opacity-value .opacity-50 class=("opacity-50")

  • Use single-quoted strings in Utility classes.
  • Do not quote numbers or px values. With the exception of half (05), values like '105', and '205' should be treated as strings.
  • String tokens for half values (like 05) and negative values (like neg-1) may also be written with their unquoted number token equivalent: 0.5, 1.5, 2.5, -1, -1.5, etc.
  • If multiple utilities share the same prefix (ex: .text- or .flex-) or a single utility accepts multiple kinds of values (ex: .border accepts both border weight and border color), their shared mixin can accept multiple comma-separated values:
    • u-text('primary-darkest', 'no-underline', 'bold')
    • u-border-top(2px, 'accent-warm')
  • Output any utility mixin as !important by appending !important to the mixin’s argument list:
    • u-bg('red-warm-50v', !important)
