Rams is a class-less css design system framework that utilizes the power of data attributes for styling components.

1. Start by downloading the repository or by cloning Rams

   git clone https://github.com/jacobxperez/rams.git

2. Install dependencies on your machine with npm

   npm install

Edit the variables, add custom modules and linked them to index.css for compiling.

• src/css
  • core (important files for compiling)
  • custom (add custom modules here)
  • index.css (compile to produce the final CSS)
  • settings.css (theme settings for font, colors, and more)

note: When starting a project with Rams we recommend not to edit the core files unless you are contributing code back to Rams. Any custom modules should go in the custom folder, this will help you separate your code from Rams.

On your terminal run these scripts to compile

• npm run docs (locally runs documentation)
• npm run dev (serve current development build)
• npm run build (makes current build and sets url to "/" can be changed on package.json)

Rams uses data attributes instead of class to style components.

A two column grid with responsive columns:

<article data-grid="main">
  <aside data-column="large-3 medium-3 small-4">
    <!-- add content -->
  </aside>
  <section data-column="large-9 medium-9 small-4">
    <!-- add content -->
  </section>
</article>

A simple navigation with flex-box:

<ul data-flex>
  <li><a data-anchor data-state="active" href="">Active</a></li>
  <li><a data-anchor href="">Anchor</a></li>
  <li><a data-anchor href="">Anchor</a></li>
  <li><a data-anchor href="">Anchor</a></li>
</ul>

A navbar with home link and three tabs:

<nav data-navbar="top">
  <ul data-flex>
    <li><a data-anchor="navbar" href="">Home</a></li>
    <li data-item="grow"></li>
    <li><a data-anchor="navbar" href="">Anchor</a></li>
    <li><a data-anchor="navbar" href="">Anchor</a></li>
    <li><a data-anchor="navbar" href="">Anchor</a></li> 
  </ul>
</nav>

A dropdown navigation menu:

<ul data-flex>
  <li data-position="relative">
    <a data-toggle="pop" data-anchor href="">
      Dropdown 
      <span data-icon="&#xe043;"></span>
    </a>
    <ul data-dropbox="menu" data-position="left">
      <li><a data-anchor="menu" href="">Anchor</a></li>
      <li><a data-anchor="menu" href="">Anchor</a></li>
      <li><a data-anchor="menu" href="">Anchor</a></li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

Tooltip for displaying additional context on hover or on click:

<span data-toggle="tooltip">
  Tooltip!
  <span data-dropbox="tooltip">
    <!-- add content -->
  </span>
</span>

Reveal extra page content like an accordion:

<ul data-box="border leading">
  <li data-box="border-bottom"> 
    <a data-toggle data-anchor data-flex>
      <strong data-item="grow">Content</strong> <span data-icon="&#xe045;"></span>
    </a>
    <div data-dropbox data-box="padding-x padding-bottom">
      <!-- add content -->
    </div>
  </li>
</ul>

Includes several button styles:

 <button data-button="primary">button</button>
 <button data-button="outline">button</button>
 <button data-button="primary outline">button</button>
 <button data-button="link">button</button>
