Introduction

Welcome to the Palette, the HR Manager Style Guide!

When you start a new project, you should use the HTML base setup on this page to start off your main view. Here you will find markup and rules for your specific needs.

Please be conservative, and contact any of the front-end team if you need something.

Getting started

First, copy the page template on this page, and paste it into your base layout file. As you can see certain lines are highlighted, this is where you put your dynamic and application specific content. On line 6, you should replace {{page title goes here}} with the page title you want for your application.

For most applications, you'll want login status and user navigation. Look up the documentation and add the respective markup.

Finally, you can replace {{application specific scripts go here}} with links to application-specific JavaScript code you need.

You need something not here? Rule of thumbs:

Always:

  • Check the styleguide.
  • If the styleguide does not give you what you need, use Bootstrap documentation and stick to defaults.
  • If you bump into a problem assume that Bootstrap has solved it. Be lazy.
  • If you still have a problem, ask your friendly neighbourhood designers.
  • The order of CSS sheets links in header matters.
  • If you don’t like the defaults, use them anyway, and document / talk to product and designers why we should globally change this.

Never:

  • never use fixed widths, heights or any definite px anywhere (in a crisis, ok for 10 px / 1em or LESS only).
  • never hardcode styling.
  • Never put css in the heading.
  • never use <p> as “spacers”.
  • never use tables for anything else than data tables.
  • never use <br/> unless there is a fire, a flood, and a meteor heading for earth.
  • never use empty, classless or id-less divs.
  • did i mention never hardcode.

If you “need” to hardcode something, or change the css, there is something wrong with the structure. You are probably just missing some classes, or the nesting is wrong.

The style guide is not complete, so if you need something talk to your friendly neighbourhood designer.

Good luck!
