Wrappid styles package

This repository deals with the primary styling package, @wrappid/styles, of the wrappid framework.

The @wrappid/styles package primarily has the following:

• Utility styles
• StyledComponent styles
• Themes
• Some common features and functionalities

Before we jump into the details of each of the above, we must get aware of the philosophy behind the @wrappid/styles package.

The Philosophy behind

The philosophy behind the @wrappid/styles package:

• Styling in wrappid follows a smallest screen first approach, which in other words is also known as mobile first approach
• Styling in wrappid is segregated over different areas
  • @wrappid/styles supports 5 areas, Module, App, Core, StyledComponent (used for Native layer) and Utility (built primarily inspired from Bootstrap); Note: this package only contains the Utility and StyledComponent styles
• Writing styles is distributed over several screen sizes
  • @wrappid/styles supports 6 screen sizes, Default (xs), Small (sm), Medium (md), Large (lg), XLarge (xl) and XXLarge (xxl)
• Styling is built in an incremental manner of screen sizes, which means,
  • Common styles for any component are written in the smallest screen size file; generally known as xs (extra-small), Default in case of @wrappid/styles
  • Screen size specific styles for any component are written in the screen size specific files, namely, SmallUtilityStyles, MediumUtilityStyles, <size>UtilityStyles…
• All styles are identified by “class” with unique classnames and are maintained in <area>Classess files as constants

The Files involved

Every area of styling has 7 files involved. We will take the case of Utility styles as an example to understand the files involved.

Below are the files involved:

1. UtilityClasses - Contains CONSTANTS for the classname(s)
2. DefaultUtilityStyles - Contains styles belonging to smallest (xs) screen size
3. SmallUtilityStyles - Contains styles belonging to small (sm) screen size
4. MediumUtilityStyles - Contains styles belonging to medium (md) screen size
5. LargeUtilityStyles - Contains styles belonging to large (lg) screen size
6. XLargeUtilityStyles - Contains styles belonging to xlarge (xl) screen size
7. XXLargeUtilityStyles - Contains styles belonging to xxlarge (xxl) screen size

We will have the same set of 7 files for all other areas.
