Many CSS frameworks are meant to be included and left alone. But spaceBase is a boilerplate layer that can be built upon and tailored for your needs. It combines best practices for today’s responsive web with the core components we use on every project. Consider it the launch pad for your adventures into cyberspace.
spaceBase is meant to be copied into your project for further modifications. The SCSS files in scss/base/ are usually not modified much, but the files in scss/ui/ are meant to be completely tailored to your project.
Coming Soon
Documentation is currently in orbit. In the meantime, feel free to explore!
After you download the spaceBase ZIP from the repo, unzip it and copy its contents into your own project.
spaceBase is built with Sass, so you'll need a Sass compiler such as Compass. A Compass config.rb is included in the spaceBase folder you can use for reference.
Installing Ruby, Sass, and Compass is outside the scope of this document.
Your editor should be setup with an EditorConfig plugin, so that certain basic code style standards are enforced automatically. See http://editorconfig.org/#download and install the plugin for your editor of choice.
You can remove tests/ and scss/README.md.
