Create better card component linking by only using the title’s link (and not the whole block). Please visit this article about cards by Heydon Pickering for more information about the technique.
| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$link | The selector of the link element. | |
$at-root | false | Whether output the link as a child of the parent component or at the root level. |
.card {
@include a11y-card-link('.card__link', true);
border: 1px solid color('border');
border-radius: config('border-radius-lg', $display);
padding: spacer('m');
&__link {
color: color('heading');
font-size: font-size('h3');
font-weight: 700;
text-decoration: none;
}
}With the breakpoint mixin, you can create a min-width based (mobile-first) breakpoint on a predefined breakpoint from the $breakpoints map.
The predefined breakpoints are the following:
$breakpoints: (
'xs': 32em,
'sm': 48em,
'md': 64em,
'lg': 80em,
'xl': 90em,
'xxl': 110em,
);| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$breakpoint | The name of the key from the $breakpoints map. | |
$logic | false | Any custom logic next to the min-width value connected with the “and” logical operator. |
.footer {
display: block;
align-items: center;
@include breakpoint('md') { // @media (min-width: 64em)
display: flex;
justify-content: space-between;
}
}Using the btn-variant mixin, you can create a new button variant. First, you must declare the colors of the new button (background, foreground is required) in the $colors map at the very first @use of
| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$type | 'primary' | The name/prefix of the related colors under the btn map. |
$focus | true | Set it true if you want to display a focus outline ring. |
Declare the colors of the button. The mixin will search for the keys under the btn object.
@use 'sprucecss/scss/spruce' with (
$colors: (
'btn': (
'custom-background': hsl(0deg 0% 95%),
'custom-foreground': hsl(0deg 0% 10%),
),
),
);In many cases, declaring just the background and foreground color is enough. Spruce will generate the rest (hover states). But if you want to control more or use dark mode (where you want to overwrite the color values), you can be more specific.
@use 'sprucecss/scss/spruce' with (
$colors: (
'btn': (
'primary-background': hsl(261deg 52% 59%),
'primary-background-hover': hsl(261deg 52% 49%),
'primary-foreground': hsl(0deg 0% 100%),
'primary-foreground-hover': hsl(0deg 0% 100%),
'primary-focus-ring': hsl(261deg 52% 59% / 0.25),
),
),
);.btn--custom {
@include btn-variant('custom');
}<a href="https://conedevelopment.com" class="btn btn--custom btn--lg">Go to Cone</a>Using the btn-variant-outline mixin, you can create a new outlined button variant. First, you must declare the colors of the new button (background, foreground is required) in the $colors map at the very first @use of
| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$type | 'primary' | The name/prefix of the related colors under the btn map. |
$focus | true | Set it true if you want to display a focus outline ring. |
.btn--outline-primary { @include btn-variant-outline('primary'); }
.btn--outline-secondary { @include btn-variant-outline('secondary'); }Clear the default browser button styles.
.remove-button-styles {
@include clear-btn;
}Remove the list-style, margin, and padding stylings from the element.
ul {
@include clear-list;
}The field-disabled() is a small internal helper mixin to set up the disabled state on form fields. We call it on the .form-control and .form-check classes.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
$background | The color value of the background. |
$border | The color value of the border. |
.form-control:[disabled],
.form-control:[disabled='true'] {
@include field-disabled(
color('background-disabled', 'form'),
color('border-disabled', 'form')
);
}The field-icon() mixin is a getter function for form input backgrounds. Spruce CSS uses custom images (used as inline SVG) for various inputs (checkbox, radio, select, success, error states).
This mixin first replaces the given color value as a fill value on the SVG image then escapes it.
It is helpful for dark mode because we can’t pass a CSS variable to an inline SVG, so we have to overwrite it.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
$icon | The name of the icon variable. |
$color | The color value of the fill. |
select {
select.form-control:not([multiple]):not([size]) {
@include field-icon(
config('select', $form-icon, false),
color('select-foreground', 'form')
);
}
}
The focus-ring() is a small internal helper mixin to set up the focus state of the form fields, buttons (or anything). We call it on the .form-control, .form-check, .form-switch, .form-range, and button variants. For these calls, it works with global, related variables.
| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$type | 'box-shadow' | The type of the focus ring: outline or box-shadow. |
$border-color | null | The color value of the border. It is needed mostly on inputs. |
$ring-color | The color of the focus ring. | |
$box-shadow-type | Where should it place the box-shadow: outside or inside. | |
$ring-size | The width of the focus ring. | |
$ring-offset | The offset of the focus ring if the type is outline. |
.form-control:focus {
@include focus-ring(
$type: config('focus-ring-type', $form-control, false),
$border-color: color('border-focus', 'form'),
$ring-color: color('ring-focus', 'form'),
$box-shadow-type: config('focus-ring-box-shadow-type', $form-control, false),
$ring-size: config('focus-ring-size', $form-control, false),
$ring-offset: config('focus-ring-offset', $form-control, false)
);
}The font-face mixin is a helper to generate a @font-face declaration. This is a minimal and modern font-face declaration, so it only supports the .woff2 format (under the $src argument).
| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$font-family | null | The name of the font family. |
$src | null | The URL path to the font file. |
$font-weight | 400 | The weight of the font. |
$font-style | normal | The style of the font. |
$font-display | swap | The font-display property value. |
@include font-face(
'Montserrat',
'../fonts/montserrat-v25-latin-ext_latin-regular.woff2'
);
@include font-face(
'Montserrat',
'../fonts/montserrat-v25-latin-ext_latin-700.woff2',
'700'
);The form-check() mixin is a helper to create custom checkboxes. It accepts three selectors and generates radio and checkbox styles.
There are scenarios (unfortunately) where it is easier to modify the CSS code than the HTML markup. In our case, we usually style the checkboxes and radios in the Custom Form 7 plugin.
| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$parent | The selector of the parent element. | |
$input | The selector of the input element. | |
$label | The selector of the label element. | |
$has-sizes | false | Turn on the sizes variants (*--sm, *--lg). |
@include form-check('.form-check', '.form-check__control', '.form-check__label', true);Using the form-group-stacked mixin, you can create a stacked form group with a breakpoint. Under the breaking point the layout will be stack vertically.
| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$breakpoint | 'sm' | The breakpoint. |
.form-group--stacked\:md {
@include form-group-stacked('md');

| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$gap | 'm' | The padding value on either side of the element. The value comes from the $spacers map, use any declared key name for shorthand. |
$max-inline-size | config('container-inline-size', $layout) | Set the max-inline-size (max-width) value of the element. |
.hero {
&__container {
@include layout-center(
spacer-clamp('m', 'l')
);
}
}Using the layout-flex mixin, you can create intrinsic flexbox grids with explicit column width.

$inline-size | --inline-size | The optimal width of the columns. |
.form-row--mixed {
--inline-size: 10rem;
@include layout-flex;
}For the $gap you can also use a shorthand like in the spacer() function for setting separate value for the block and inline gap.
.form-row--mixed {
--inline-size: 10rem;
@include layout-flex('m:l');
}With the help of the layout-grid mixin you can create auto-fit grid layouts where you can determine the columns' min-width.
| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$gap | 'm' | The gutter value between the elements. The value comes from the $spacers map, use any declared key name for shorthand. |
$minimum | 12.5rem | The minimum value of the child elements where it automatically breaks. |
.docs-cards {
&__inner {
@include layout-grid('l', 20rem);
}
}For the $gap you can also use a shorthand like in the spacer() function for setting separate value for the block and inline gap.
.docs-cards {
&__inner {
@include layout-grid('m:l', 20rem);
}
}Using the layout-sidebar mixin, you can create a two-column sidebar layout declaring the sidebar width explicitly.

|---|---|---|
$gap | 'm' | The gutter value between the elements. The value comes from the $spacers map, use any declared key name for shorthand. |
$inline-size | 18.75rem | The width of the sidebar element. |
.docs-template {
@include layout-sidebar('l', 22rem);
}For the $gap you can also use a shorthand like in the spacer() function for setting separate value for the block and inline gap.
.docs-template {
@include layout-sidebar('m:l', 22rem);
}Using the help of the layout-stack mixin, you can classical stack layout where the elements are stacked under each other.

|---|---|---|
$gap | 'm' | The margin value between the elements. The value comes from the $spacers map, use any declared key name for shorthand. |
$inline-size | false | Whether it has explicit width (inline-size). |
$align | none | Set explicit align to the elements(none, left, right). |
$important | false | Add !important on descendant elements to margin-block-start. |
$split | 0 | Split the elements vertically from the nth element. |
ul {
@include layout-stack('xs');
}Create natively styled custom scrollbars.
| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$thumb-background-color | color(thumb-background, scrollbar) | The color of the scrollbar handle. |

$thumb-background-color: color('primary')
);
background-color: transparent;
border-radius: 0;
display: block;
overflow-x: auto;
padding: spacer('xs') 0;
}Using the selection mixin, you can simplify the ::selection declarations. Pick a background color value from the base subsection by name and let it calculate the contrast color for the foreground automatically.
| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$background | 'primary' | The background color code or the name of the color from the base subsection from $colors map. |
$foreground | null | The foreground color code. It will get a contrasting pair (black or white) if left empty, based on the background value. |
.footer {
// @include selection(hsl(262deg 71% 49%));
@include selection('secondary');
}Declare CSS custom properties through Spruce CSS to add the prefix. To get any CSS variable with prefix use the get-css-variable function.
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
$vars | A Sass map of key, value pairs. |
:root {
@include set-css-variable((
--container-gap: spacer-clamp('m', 'l')

}A shorthand function to get the default focus ring styles for input and button elements.
| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$type | 'input' | The type of the focus ring. It can be input or button. |
$btn-type | 'primary' | The color - or button type - of the button (if the $type is button) to match the ring color. |
.search-form {
&:focus-visible input[type='search'] {
@include short-ring('input');
}
}
.accordion-card {
&:focus-visible svg {
@include short-ring('button', 'secondary');
}
}Crop text and display an ellipsis with multiline support where possible.
| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$number-of-lines | 1 | Multiline text cropping where supported. |
.crop-text {
@include text-ellipsis(2);
inline-size: 20rem;
}Be careful when using the text-ellipsis mixin with flex displays because it will break.
This mixin aims to query the transition variables easier. Usually, you only need the global values (e.g., for anything with a custom hover animation), but you can also overwrite the three basic arguments.
| Name | Default Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
$duration | config('duration', $transition) | The default duration value is 0.15s. |
$property | all | Set the transition-property to all. For multiple value use quotes like 'transition, color'. |
$timing-function | config('timing-function', $transition) | The default timing-function value is ease-in-out. |
.custom-link {
@include transition;
&:hover {
background-color: pink;
}
}Hide something from the screen but keep it visible for assistive technology.
.sr-only {
@include visually-hidden;
}Break long strings of text.
.break-long-url {
@include word-wrap;
}
