Tachyons Custom

Tachyons CSS but upgraded - the main differentiators being that you can easily override the default values of Tachyons by importing CSS "config" files and a spacing scale based on 10. CSS Variables are not compiled by default, in order to do so please check the package.json file.

Getting started

Docs can be found at Tachyons The modules are generally pretty small and thus quick and easy to read. Since this is a fork of Tachyons in some instances the official doc is not exactly the truth, please for the time being open the src css files when in doubt.

Local Setup

Clone the repo from github and install dependencies through npm.

git clone https://github.com/sharegate/tachyons-sg.git
cd tachyons-sg
npm install

Dev

If you want to just use everything in tachyons/src as a jumping off point and edit all the code yourself, you can compile all of your wonderful changes by running

npm start

This will output both minified and unminified versions of the css to the css directory and watch the src directory for changes. It's aliased to the command:

npm run build:watch

If you'd like to just build the css once without watching the src directory run

npm run build

If you want to check that a class hasn't been redefined or 'mutated' there is a linter to check that all of the classes have only been defined once. This can be useful if you are using another library or have written some of your own css and want to make sure there are no naming collisions. To do this run the command

npm run mutations

Configuration

If you want to override the default variables specified in tachyons-sg (for instance, changing the color of the --primary variable), simply redeclare the variables in a :root css class.

:root {
    --primary: #c63a0c;
}

Docs

The tachyons docs located at Tachyons are all open source and located here.
