Griddle is a CSS grid system for modern browsers. It is generated from a set of Sass functions and mixins. The grid uses inline-block and box-sizing to provide features that float-based layouts cannot.

• Fluid layout.
• Intelligent cell wrapping.
• Horizontal centering of cells.
• Custom vertical alignment of cells (top, bottom, or middle).
• Cell width is controlled independently of grid gutter.
• Infinite nesting.
• Built-in redundancy coupled with automatic consolidation of rules in compiled CSS.
• Modify the grid at different breakpoints for responsive layouts.
• RTL support.

The grid system is suitable whether or not you choose to develop "mobile first". Import griddle to "initialize" the grid at a given breakpoint.

The griddle-build() mixin handles the generation of styles for grids. It can accept a space-separated list of integers, each of which results in the creation of a grid with that many parts. For example:

@import "griddle";
// Create 2, 3, and 4 column grids
@include griddle-build(2 3 4);

The mixin also accepts a string as a second (optional) argument. This can be used to generate modified selectors to override the width of a cell at different breakpoints. For example:

@media (min-width: 40em) {
    // Create 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 12 column grids (wider screens)
    @include griddle-build(2 3 4 5 6 12, '--desktop');
}

Each grid cell is created in the same way, using HTML classes. You can have a cell that is 50% wide at narrow viewports, but 25% wide at wider viewports when the styles are applied to the modifier class:

<div class="grid__cell unit-1-2 unit-1-4--desktop">
    ...
</div>

Feel free to customize the default class name pattern to suit your personal preferences.
