Forms & buttons

Consistent reset styles for default HTML form elements and buttons.

Examples (anchor)

The forms and buttons expect the existence of basic reset styles for font styling and typography properties. The typography style module provides this but the styles should work with any reset/normalize document used.

Using the module (anchor)

Load StyleMods as demonstrated (change file path as required) then include the Sass mixin anywhere below.

custom.scss 
@use "stylemods/scss" as *;
@include forms-buttons-css;

See the using modules page for more information including how to compile the modules in cascade layers and include and reuse them in multiple source files.

Using the framework (anchor)

Using the recommended custom setup enable the styles in an overrides document:

overrides.scss 
@use "stylemods/scss/configuration" as *;
$enable-forms-buttons: true;

Include the overrides and the framework styles with your custom document for compiling the framework:

custom.scss 
@use "overrides";
@use "stylemods/scss/stylemods";

See using the framework for more information including how the styles can also be compiled within cascade layers.

Source code (anchor)

The modules and the framework follow the same methods for customizing the default values and using the CSS variables to create custom theme documents. See the customizing page for more information.
