A simple extensible CSS framework

Backed by open-source code and written is Sass by the Canonical Web Team.

Vanilla contains a responsive CSS grid, basic style for HTML elements and a selection of key useful patterns and utility classes that you can extend.

Designed to be composable — you can include the whole framework to avail of all styles or you can use only what you need for your project.

Anyone can contribute to Vanilla, improve it and extend it. All the code is available on GitHub and is licensed under LGPLv3 by Canonical.

export SASS_PATH=`pwd`/node_modules:${SASS_PATH}

// Add to your main build scss file the following line
@import 'vanilla-framework/scss/build'
