About LowCSS

LowCSS is a powerful CSS utility framework built with SASS, designed to streamline your CSS development process and enable you to create beautiful, responsive web interfaces with ease. Inspired by the popular Tailwind CSS, LowCSS follows a similar structure and syntax, making it familiar and intuitive for developers already familiar with Tailwind CSS.

Features

  • SASS-based: Harness the power of SASS to create modular and maintainable CSS code.
  • Intuitive Utility Classes: Use utility classes to apply styles directly to HTML elements, avoiding repetitive CSS coding.
  • Responsive Design: Create responsive layouts effortlessly with built-in responsive utility classes.
  • Lightweight: Keep your page load times low with optimized and minimal CSS file sizes.
  • Pseudo-Class Modifiers: Apply styles to elements in specific states like hover, focus, and active.

Installation

To install LowCSS in your project, use one of the following methods:

Install LowCSS using a package manager

Run the following command in your terminal:

## Install using NPM
$ npm install --save lowcss

## Install using YARN
$ yarn add lowcss

Using LowCSS on a static site

LowCSS includes a compiled CSS version, so you do not need to install any modules for using it on a static site. Just download the compiled CSS from unpkg, or include the following link to the CDN in your HTML file:

<link href="https://unpkg.com/lowcss/low.css" rel="stylesheet" />

Download from releases

Alternatively, you can download the CSS file directly from the releases page of this repository.

Usage

Using LowCSS is simple. Add the utility classes directly to your HTML elements to apply styles. Here's an example:

<div class="bg-blue-600 text-white p-4">
    <h1 class="text-2xl">Welcome to LowCSS</h1>
    <p class="mt-2">Start building stunning web interfaces with ease!</p>
</div>
