Susy is Deprecated. It should no longer be used on new projects, and will no longer be receiving any updates.
Susy is a design-agnostic set of tools for creating powerful, custom layouts. We didn't want another grid system full of rules and restrictions — we wanted a power tool for building our own damn systems. Version Three is trimmed down to it's most basic components — functions that can be used to build any grid system.

"I like the idea of grids-on-demand, rather than a strict framework."
– Chris Coyier, CSS Tricks
"Susy and Zendesk have been getting along magically… It’s precisely what you need and nothing more."
— Stephany Varga, Zendesk
"If you’re interested in reading Sass poetry, be sure to look at Susy’s source code!"

npm install susy
There are two imports to choose from.
The default sass/susy comes with
un-prefixed versions of the core API functions.
If you want Susy to be name-spaced,
import sass/susy-prefix instead.
// un-prefixed functions
@import '<path-to>/susy/sass/susy';
// susy-prefixed functions
@import '<path-to>/susy/sass/susy-prefix';Using Eyeglass
With eyeglass set up,
you can @import 'susy';
without providing the npm-modules path.
Make sure sass-loader is installed:
npm install sass-loader --save-devMake sure you have sass-loader enabled in your webpack configuration:
// webpack.config.js
module: {
rules: [
{
test: /\.scss$/,
use: ['style-loader', 'css-loader', 'sass-loader'],
},
];
}Start using Susy:
/* app.scss */
@import '~susy/sass/susy';Add a gulp task:
// gulpfile.js
gulp.task('sass', function () {
return gulp
.src('scss/*.scss')
.pipe(
sass({
outputStyle: 'compressed',
includePaths: ['node_modules/susy/sass'],
}).on('error', sass.logError),
)
.pipe(gulp.dest('dist/css'));
});Start using Susy:
/* app.scss */
@import 'susy';To add Susy to the Sass task,
edit your Gruntfile.js at the root level of your project
and look for the Sass-related rules.
Add require: 'susy' inside the options object:
// Gruntfile.js
sass: {
dist: {
options: {
style: 'expanded',
require: 'susy'
},
files: {
'css/style.css': 'scss/style.scss'
}
}
}Assuming you’ve already installed Susy, it will now be added to the project and will not clash with Yeoman's grunt rules.
Start using Susy:
/* app.scss */
@import 'susy';You may notice that some functions have a susy- prefix,
while others only have su-.
This helps distinguish between the two distinct layers:
- The core grid-math layer is called Su, and is made up of "pure" functions that expect normalized values. This is useful if you prefer argument-syntax to shorthand syntax, or if you are building your own Susy mixins.
- The upper Susy layer provides syntax-sugar – global defaults, shorthand-parsing, normalization, and a smaller set of common-use functions that call on the core math as necessary. This is the primary API for most users.
At OddBird, we love contributing to the languages & tools developers rely on. We're currently working on polyfills for new Popover & Anchor Positioning functionality, as well as CSS specifications for functions, mixins, and responsive typography. Help us keep this work sustainable and centered on your needs as a developer! We display sponsor logos and avatars on our website.
