Bedrock

Bedrock is a highly un-opinionated and minimal front-end baseline built in LESS

Frameworks are too limiting. If your truly handwriting code only so much of it can be reused. Your classnames, IDs and markup structure should match what's best for the project. Bedrock attempts to avoid telling how to write your code and instead allows you to just write it.

Quick Start

• Using Bower run bower install bedrock

Usage

In your less file(s) use @import 'path/to/bedrock/bedrock'; or cherry pick individual mixing as needed @import 'path/to/bedrock/mixins/border-radius';

Browser and Polyfill Support

Out of the box, Bedrock supports IE9 up. But it is CSS3PIE for IE7 & IE8 as well as BoxSizing for IE7.

Enable Support

@support-ie7: true;
@support-ie8: true;
@support-pie: true;

The above support vars are set to false by default

Declaring Paths

CSS3Pie

If @support-pie is set to true, you will want to declare your path to your .htc file. The default is:

@pie_url: '/PIE.htc';

Boxsizing

If @support-ie7 is set to true, you will need to declare your path the box sizing polyfill. The default is:

@boxsizing_url: '/boxsizing.htc';

Legacy Support

If updating a pre Bedrock 1.0.0 website enable IE7 & IE8.

Example

@import 'bower_components/bedrock/bedrock';
@support-ie8: true;

h1 {
	#transparent .color(green, 0.5);
}

• firefox >3.6
• safari >4.0
