Nice! is a framework of reusable UI elements, created by Carlo Bernardini and maintained by the Nice! circle within Textkernel.
To get started, check out https://nice.textkernel.nl.
- Don't care about writing and maintaining CSS, it's done for you -- just apply some classes
- Reusable UI elements for delivering a consistent user experience across all products
- Colors are taken directly from Textkernel's official Branding Guideline
- All CSS produced by Nice! is tested and supports all modern browsers (IE10+). You can use a custom Autoprefixer configuration for specific needs.
- It comes with Textkernel icons and a grid system out of the box
Several quick start options are available:
- Clone the repo:
git clone https://github.com/textkernel/nice.git - Install with npm:
npm install @textkernel/nice
In the Git repository you will find static assets, source files and default build script. When cloning the repository you need to compile Nice! from source. Precompiled and minified variations are included with the NPM package (generated post-install). The file tree should look something like this:
nice/
├── .browserlistrc
├── .stylelintrc
├── gulpfile.js
├── assets/
└── dist/
├── nice.css
├── nice.min.css
└── fonts/
└── src/
├── nice.scss
├── elements/
├── fonts/
└── ...
The default build script generates a regular stylesheet (nice.css) as well as a minified one (nice.min.css).
For convenience, we also provide a number of webfonts (in dist/fonts/) and additional assets (logos, favicons; in assets/). Please note that Nice! only comes with Textkernel font icons. You will have to include e.g. FontAwesome yourself.
Source files are in SASS and can be found in src/ folder.
You can either use the precompiled CSS when including Nice! in your projects or you can use the source file nice.scss in your own build process.
Nice! uses CSS Linting to assure quality and consistency. Rules are found in .stylelintrc.
Nice! can handle vendor prefixing itself but instead it is recommended that you use a tool like Autoprefixer. When using Autoprefixer you should set variable $using-autoprefixer to true so Nice! will not do prefixing too. The default browser compatibility list used by Nice! is found in .browserlistrc.
