Use

By default the retain container has a width of 100% and is padded on both sides.

<div class="o-retain">
  <!-- any content -->
</div>

Modifiers on .o-retain

<div
  class="o-retain  [o-retain--no-padding  |  o-retain--lap  |  o-retain--desk  |  o-retain--wall]"
>
  <!-- any content -->
</div>

Custom properties

<div class="o-retain" style="--size: 30em;">
  <!-- any content -->
</div>

Note Of course this specific use of custom properties(through inline styles) is pure for example purposes. It is advised to overwrite the custom properties in your own components instead of inline styles.

Available classes

• .o-retain: core retain block
• .o-retain--no-padding: removes the padding
• .o-retain--lap: retains the size to the lap size in defaults.$breakpoints
• .o-retain--desk: retains the size to the desk size in defaults.$breakpoints
• .o-retain--wall: retains the size to the wall size in defaults.$breakpoints

Configurable variables

There are multiple ways to configure the retain object. The Custom properties are calculated at run-time, the SCSS variables will allow you to change things at build-time.

Custom properties

On the .o-retain block

• --size: The size where you want to retain to, defaults to 100%

SCSS variables

• $space: wich spacing name you want to use for the padding, defaults to base
• $sizes: list of sizes you want to create o-retain--X for, defaults to (lap: 640px, desk: 960px, wall: 1280px)

You can overwrite the SCSS variables the following ways:

// in your manifest file, eg. `styles.scss`
@use 'node_modules/@supple-kit/supple-css/objects/retain' with (
  $sizes: (
    lap: 640px,
    desk: 960px,
  )
);

or

// in your own variable file, eg. `_vars.scss`
@use 'node_modules/@supple-kit/supple-css/objects/retain/variables' with (
  $sizes: (
    lap: 640px,
    desk: 960px,
  )
);

// in your manifest file, eg. `styles.scss`
@use 'node_modules/@supple-kit/supple-css/objects/retain';
