Property Class
Lism provides utility classes for the major CSS properties, making it easy to set frequently used values and tokens. For particularly important CSS properties, breakpoint-specific classes are also available.
These are called Property Classes and are defined in the format -{prop}(:{value}) and -{prop}_{bp}.
This page lists all available Property Classes.
You can change which classes are output by customizing via SCSS.
How to read the tables on this page
The tables below summarize information for each property.
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| Shorthand | The abbreviated form of the CSS property. This is the {prop} string in the -{prop}:{val} class format, and also the prop name used with Lism components. |
| Property | The corresponding CSS property |
| To Class | Values that are output as Property Utility classes |
| BP | Whether breakpoint support classes (-{prop}_{bp}) are available |
The shorthand string is output as a class name. It is also the property name used with Lism components.
