What does it mean?
Shift your thinking
Don’t code CSS for a page. Code it for a
system.
Think Modularly.
Think Modularly.
Scalable and Modular Architecture for CSS
What is SMACSS?
Have your CSS... Do one thing and one thing only
Your code should... Be clear regardless of context

State?
State-based Design • Class-based states • Attribute-based states • Pseudo-class
states • Media query states
Class-based State
Active State Default State Disabled State Default State
.is-btn-active { box-shadow: inset 3px 3px 5px #333; } .is-btn-disabled
{ opacity: .5; pointer-events: none; }
/* general class-based state */ .is-hidden { }
$('.btn').on('mousedown', function(){ $(this).addClass('is-btn-pressed'); }); $('.btn').on('mouseup', function(){ $(this).removeClass('is-btn-pressed'); });
Attribute Selector State
.btn[data-state=default] { color: #333; } .btn[data-state=pressed] { color: #000; }
.btn[data-state=disabled] { opacity: .5; pointer-events: none; } <!-- HTML --> <button class="btn" data- state="disabled">Disabled</button>
// bind a click handler to each button $(".btn").on("click", function(){
// change the state to pressed $(this).attr('data-state', 'pressed'); });
Pseudo-class State
/* Pseudo-class state */ .callout:hover { } .callout:focus { }
:hover :focus :active :checked :indeterminate :valid :invalid :in-range :out-of-range
Media Query State
@media screen and (max-width: 400px) { .layout-content { float: none;
} }
/* default state for nav items */ .nav > li
{ float: none; } /* alternate state for nav items on larger screens */ @media screen and (min-width: 400px) { .nav > li { float: left; } }
/* default layout */ .l-content { float: left; width: 75%;
} .l-sidebar { float: right; width: 25%; } /* alternate state for layout on small screens */ @media screen and (max-width: 400px) { .l-content, .l-sidebar { float: none; width: auto; } }
