This project is the Sass version of Normalize.css, a collection of HTML element and attribute rulesets to normalize styles across all browsers. This port aims to use a light dusting of Sass to make Normalize even easier to integrate with your website. To learn about why Normalize.css is so amazing, skip to the "normalize.css" section below.
This Sass port currently adds:
- Vertical rhythm mixins: Allowing you to alter the font-size, line-height and margins in Normalize’s output without hacking the library.
- Optional Eyeglass support.
- Several ready-to-fork versions that integrate typography Sass modules like Typey, or style guides built with KSS.
A modern alternative to CSS resets
Normalize.css is a customisable CSS file that makes browsers render all elements more consistently and in line with modern standards.
The project relies on researching the differences between default browser styles in order to precisely target only the styles that need or benefit from normalizing.
- Preserves useful defaults, unlike many CSS resets.
- Normalizes styles for a wide range of elements.
- Corrects bugs and common browser inconsistencies.
- Improves usability with subtle modifications.
- Explains what code does using detailed comments.
Install using one of the following methods:
- Download directly from the project page.
- Install with npm:
npm install --save normalize-scss
- Install with Ruby Gem:
gem install normalize-scss
and, optionally, addrequire "normalize-scss"
to your config.rb file. Note: if you want to alter the _normalize.scss file after installation (see "how to use it" below), you can use thegem list --details normalize-scss
command to show you where the normalize-scss files were installed.
There is a fantastic introduction to the project and brief instructions how to use it in the About normalize.css article.
You can use the Sass port of Normalize in one of several methods, following the "About normalize.css" article's suggestions:
Approach 1: Download and use normalize-scss as a starting point for your own project's base Sass, customising the values to match the design's requirements. (The best approach, IMO.)
- Copy the normalize-scss files to your sass directory so that you can alter it as you include it in your project. To aid with this method, normalize-scss includes several ready-made "fork" versions: * fork-versions/default - Fork for libSass or Ruby Sass * fork-versions/typey - Fork with Typey * fork-versions/typey-chroma-kss - Fork with Typey, Chroma and KSS
Approach 2: Install and include normalize-scss untouched and then build upon it, overriding the defaults later in your Sass when necessary. Just import normalize-scss like any normal Sass module by:
- Set variables to override the default normalize-scss variables.
- (Optionally) add an additional
[path to]/normalize-scss/sass
import path for your Sass compiler, e.g. node-sass'includePaths
option or Ruby Sass'--load-path
option. - Import with
@import "normalize";
or with@import "[path to]/normalize-scss/sass/normalize";
(if you skipped step 2.) - Output the CSS rules with
@include normalize();
Alternatively, you can import normalize-scss immediately into your main Sass file without needing to use the normalize()
mixin by:
- (Optionally) set variables to override the default normalize-scss variables.
- (Optionally) add an additional
[path to]/normalize-scss/sass
import path for your Sass compiler, e.g. node-sass'includePaths
option or Ruby Sass'--load-path
option. - Import with
@import "normalize/import-now";
or with@import "[path to]/normalize-scss/sass/normalize/import-now";
(if you skipped step 2.)
Note: if you use wiredep, normalize-scss's bower.json points at the normalize/import-now Sass partial. If you don't wish to immediately output the CSS, you will need to override the Sass partial that wiredep grabs from normalize-scss.

Additional detail and explanation of the esoteric parts of normalize.css.
The font-family: monospace, monospace
hack fixes the inheritance and scaling
of font-size for preformatted text. The duplication of monospace
is
intentional. Source.
Normally, using sub
or sup
affects the line-box height of text in all
browsers. Source.
Adding overflow: hidden
fixes IE9's SVG rendering. Earlier versions of IE
don't support SVG, so we can safely use the :not()
and :root
selectors that
modern browsers use in the default UA stylesheets to apply this style.
Source.
By default, Chrome on OS X and Safari on OS X allow very limited styling of
select
, unless a border property is set. The default font weight on optgroup
elements cannot safely be changed in Chrome on OSX and Safari on OS X.
It is recommended that you do not style checkbox and radio inputs as Firefox's implementation does not respect box-sizing, padding, or width.
Certain font size values applied to number inputs cause the cursor style of the
decrement button to change from default
to text
.
The search input is not fully stylable by default. In Chrome and Safari on
OSX/iOS you can't control font
, padding
, border
, or background
. In
Chrome and Safari on Windows you can't control border
properly. It will apply
border-width
but will only show a border color (which cannot be controlled)
for the outer 1px of that border. Applying -webkit-appearance: textfield
addresses these issues without removing the benefits of search inputs (e.g.
showing past searches). Safari (but not Chrome) will clip the cancel button on
when it has padding (and textfield
appearance).
