This utility plugin adds a series of css classes that allow easy addition of set padding and margin to any element.
For basic use, the classes follow the format of [margin / padding][location letter: all, top, right, bottom, left, vertical, horizontal][amount: none, small, medium, large, extra large (0.5em, 1em, 2em, 4em)]
Also in the basic classes are percentages, taking the place of the last letter in the format [p][percentage] e.g. p7-5 for 7.5% or p15 for 15%.
Examples of Basic Classes:
- man > margin all none = margin: 0px;
- prl > padding right large = padding-right: 2em;
- mvp5 > margin vertical 5% = margin: 5% 0;
Additional utility classes – First / Last child, Child / Sub
To add selective classes for adding margin / padding to the first / last child, any child, or any sub-element of the required element, simply add ‘last-‘, ‘first-‘, ‘child-‘, or ‘sub-‘ to the beginning of the basic classes.
Examples of Child Classes
- last-mhxl > last-child margin horizontal extra large = last-mhxl :last-child { margin: 0 4em; }
- last-pbn > last-child padding bottom none = last-pbn :last-child { padding-bottom: 0; }
- first-mtm > first-child margin top medium = first-mtm :first-child { margin-top: 2em; }
- child-mal > child margin all large = child-mal > * { margin: 4em; }
- sub-php5 > sub elements padding horizontal 5 percent = sub-php5 * { padding: 0 5%; }
Additional utility classes – Responsive margin / padding
You can also apply the margin / padding required to certain screen widths, ranging from xl (min: 1200px) to xs (max: 480px). To use these responsive classes, add -[screen-size] to the end of the basic classes.
Examples of Responsive Classes
- mrm-lg > margin right medium, large screen = (max-width: 1199px) and (min-width: 980px) margin-right: 2em;
- pas-xs > padding all small, xsmall screen = (max-width: 480px) padding: 0.5em;
- mhp15-md > margin horizontal 15%, medium screen = (max-width: 979px) and (min-width: 768px) margin-left: 15%; margin-right: 15%;
