Sass

  1. Mixins

Small snippets of code for faster use on projects. Feel free to use or contribute if you think some of snippets can be better written!

Mixins

Snippets for Sass containing some basic variable names which needs to be created before using mixins.

Font size from px to em

Mixin changing px font size to em font size.

$base-font-size: 16px;

@mixin font-size($font-size) {
    font-size: 1em * $font-size/$base-font-size;
}

example of usage

.foo {
    @include font-size(16px);
}

Retina background images

Mixin changes background images from @1x to @2x on retina screens

@mixin bg-retina($file, $type) {
    background-image: url($file + '.' + $type);
    
    @media (-webkit-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2), (-moz-min-device-pixel-ratio: 2) {
        & {
            background-image: url($file + '@2x.' + $type);
        }
    }
}

example of usage

.foo {
    @include bg-retina('path/to/file/example','svg');
}

Placeholder attributes

Mixin changes attributes of placeholder with all neccessary prefixes

from https://css-tricks.com/almanac/selectors/p/placeholder/
@mixin placeholder {

    &.placeholder { 
        @content; 
    }
    
    &:-moz-placeholder { 
        @content; 
    }
    
    &::-moz-placeholder { 
        @content; 
    }
    
    &:-ms-input-placeholder { 
        @content; 
    }
    
    &::-webkit-input-placeholder { 
        @content; 
    }
}

example of usage

.foo {
    @include placeholder{
        color: $red;
    }
}

Center block

Mixin center block within parent

@mixin center-block {
    margin: { 
        left: auto;
        right: auto;
    }
}

example of usage

.foo {
    @include center-block
}

Transition

Mixin helps with transition value

@mixin transition($args...) {
    -webkit-transition: $args;
    -moz-transition: $args;
    -ms-transition: $args;
    -o-transition: $args;
    transition: $args;
}

example of usage

.foo {
    @include transition(0.5s all);
}

#JavaScript

  1. Functions

##Functions

Retina images

Function changes images from @1x to @2x on retina screens.

if (window.devicePixelRatio > 1) {
    var lowresImages = $('img');
    lowresImages.each(function(i) {
        var lowres = $(this).attr('src');
        var highres = lowres.replace(".", "@2x.");
        $(this).attr('src', highres);
    });
}

Is in viewport

Function check if element is in viewport and returns true or false

$.fn.isOnScreen = function () {

    var win = $(window);

    var viewport = {
      top: win.scrollTop(),
      left: win.scrollLeft()
    };
    viewport.right = viewport.left + win.width();
    viewport.bottom = viewport.top + win.height();

    var bounds = this.offset();
    bounds.right = bounds.left + this.outerWidth();
    bounds.bottom = bounds.top + this.outerHeight();

    return (!(viewport.right < bounds.left || viewport.left > bounds.right || viewport.bottom < bounds.top || viewport.top > bounds.bottom));

  };

example of usage

$('.element').isOnScreen()
