Add External Stylesheets/Pens

Any URLs added here will be added as <link>s in order, and before the CSS in the editor. You can use the CSS from another Pen by using its URL and the proper URL extension.

JavaScript

Babel includes JSX processing.

Add External Scripts/Pens

Any URL's added here will be added as <script>s in order, and run before the JavaScript in the editor. You can use the URL of any other Pen and it will include the JavaScript from that Pen.

Packages

Add Packages

Search for and use JavaScript packages from npm here. By selecting a package, an import statement will be added to the top of the JavaScript editor for this package.

Behavior

Auto Save

If active, Pens will autosave every 30 seconds after being saved once.

Auto-Updating Preview

If enabled, the preview panel updates automatically as you code. If disabled, use the "Run" button to update.

Format on Save

If enabled, your code will be formatted when you actively save your Pen. Note: your code becomes un-folded during formatting.

                <h1>Theming UI Components</h1>

<h2>Using BEM naming</h2>
<button class="btn btn--primary">Primary Button</button>
<hr class="rule rule-t-info"/>
<h2>Introducing First Class Theme Support</h2>
<p>Each component needs to be aware that it may be used within a colour scheme so it needs to own the process of creating the various classes required to support different uses. Sometimes semantic classes are the way forward, but perhaps we should just allow the use of names to describe the particular style (think Solarized & Darcula, not Primary, Secondary, Success, etc.)</p>

<blockquote class="note note-t-info">Names such as Primary, Secondary, etc. could and should be used to set other theme properties, such as size or font</blockquote>

<p>Here we create a themes map, which contains the colour definitions for a variety of named themes. This makes it easier to re-use a colour scheme across components and removes the cases where two component madifier classes (with different names) confusingly implement the same colour scheme. e.g. no <code>.btn--primary</code> and <code>.panel--brand</code> which actually use the same colours</p>

<p>How we use this in practise:</p>

<button class="btn btn-t-sassmeister">I'm a button</button>
<button class="btn btn-t-codepen">I'm a button</button>
<button class="btn btn-t-codepen-light">I'm a button</button>
<button class="btn btn-t-info">I'm a button</button>
