# CSS Tokens

`o3-foundation` provides CSS Custom Properties for design tokens representing colours, typographic scale, spacing, iconography, grid and typography components such as headings, body, link and etc.

`o3-foundation` supports brands: `core`, `internal`, `professional`, `sustainable-views` and `whitelabel`.

Import your chosen brand to begin using tokens in your CSS/SCSS:

```css
@import '@financial-times/o3-foundation/css/core.css';

body {
	background-color: var(--o3-color-use-case-page-background);
	font-size: var(--o3-font-size-1);
	line-height: var(--o3-font-lineheight-0);
}
```

To add support for another brand, import its tokens too:

```diff
+@import '@financial-times/o3-foundation/css/core.css';
+@import '@financial-times/o3-foundation/css/internal.css';

.example-custom-link {
 color: var(--o3-color-link);
 font-size: var(--o3-font-size-3);
 line-height: var(--o3-lineheight-3);
}
```

Then apply the brand data selector `data-o3-brand="[BRAND]"` on a container element within your HTML.

```html
<body data-o3-brand="core">
	<a href="#" class="example-custom-link">Example</a>
</body>
```

# JS Tokens

Foundational tokens are also available as JavaScript. There are two formats:

1. An ESM default export with kebab case token naming.
1. An ESM named export for each token with camel case token naming.

Each format provides two token files:

1. Icon tokens.
1. All other branded tokens.

## Default export

- `esm/tokens/[brand].js`
- `esm/tokens/icons.js`

Pro: Same token naming convention as with CSS Custom Properties, for discoverability and refactoring.
Con: Unused tokens cannot be removed through [tree-shaking](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Tree_shaking), and therefore may increase your final bundle size.

```js
import tokens from '@financial-times/o3-foundation/esm/tokens/[brand].js';

const example = `The hex for FT Pink is ${tokens['o3-color-palette-ft-pink']}`;
```

## Named export

- `esm/tokens/[brand]-named.js`
- `esm/tokens/icons-named.js`

Pro: Supports [tree-shaking](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Glossary/Tree_shaking) for minimal bundle sizes.
Con: Uses snake case token names, making it impossible to search for a token across JS and CSS.

```js
import {o3_color_palette_ft_pink} from '@financial-times/o3-foundation/esm/tokens/[brand]-named.js';

const example = `The hex for FT Pink is ${o3_color_palette_ft_pink}`;
```

## Typography

### List

`o3-foundation` provides styling for both ordered and unordered lists:

#### HTML

```html
<ul class="o3-typography-ul">
	<li>Item 1</li>
	<li>Item 2</li>
	<li>Item 3</li>
</ul>

<ol class="o3-typography-ol">
	<li>Item 1</li>
	<li>Item 2</li>
	<li>Item 3</li>
</ol>
```

#### JSX

```jsx
import { List } from '@financial-times/o3-foundation/cjs'; // or esm;

<UnorderedList>
 <li>Item 1</li>
 <li>Item 2</li>
 <li>Item 3</li>
</UnorderedList>

<OrderedList>
 <li>Item 1</li>
 <li>Item 2</li>
 <li>Item 3</li>
</OrderedList>
```

### Wrapper

The wrapper can be used to style blocks of body without needing to apply the class to each element. This can be useful when large bodies of many components need styling:

#### HTML

```html
<div class="o3-typography-wrapper"></div>
```

```jsx
import {Wrapper} from '@financial-times/o3-foundation/cjs'; // or esm

<Wrapper>
	<h1>This heading gets styled.</h1>
	<p>And so does this paragraphy of text.</p>
	<h2>This gets styled also</h2>
</Wrapper>;
```

### Highlight (Bold)

Use typography use cases to style body content with bolder styles:

```html
<p class="o3-type-body-base">
	This is <strong class="o3-type-body">really</strong> important.
</p>
```

### Custom Properties

#### Max Line Width

`o3-foundation` includes a CSS Custom Property `--o3-typography-max-line-width` to limit typography line length for readability.
E.g.

```css
.my-selector {
	max-width: var(--o3-typography-max-line-width);
}
```

You may want to slightly decrease or increase this limit inline with our [design guidelines](https://origami-for-everyone.ft.com/guides/typography/). To do so we recommend using the [ch relative unit](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Values_and_Units#distance_units).

E.g.

```css
.my-selector {
	max-width: 70ch;
}
```

## Normalisation

`o3-foundation` provides a set of CSS Custom Properties for normalising the default browser styles and also applies a set of defaults to elements. This is to ensure a consistent starting point for all projects and respective brands. The list of normalisations includes:

- Normalising styles for `<html>, <body>`
- Adding font-smoothing to Mozilla and WebKit browsers
- Reducing motion for users who have requested it
- Normalising links
- Normalising text related elements
- Normalising form elements

## Stacking with z-index

We recommend to avoid setting `z-index`. Where needed, Origami provide some standard values as Custom Properties. This help prevent conflicts within projects.

1. [Stack without the z-index property](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_positioned_layout/Understanding_z-index/Stacking_without_z-index) where possible.
2. Aim to reduce `z-index` elsewhere, rather than raise your own `z-index` value.
3. Where `z-index` is required, use a standard value as below. Remember though, `z-index` is not a global value and only applies within a [Stacking Context (mdn)](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_positioned_layout/Understanding_z-index/Stacking_context). You might find Josh W Comeau's [What The Heck, z-index??](https://www.joshwcomeau.com/css/stacking-contexts/) a good introduction.

- `--o3-z-index`: To bump z-index for most elements, if `z-index` is unavoidable.
- `--o3-z-popover`: Popovers which overlay content, such as select, autocomplete drop downs, calendar widgets, tooltips.
- `--o3-z-navigation-popover`: Navigation which overlays content, such as sticky headers and drawers.
- `--o3-z-message-polite-popover`: Non-modal, non-critical messaging overlays such as marketing banners.
- `--o3-z-message-service-popover`: Non-modal, messaging overlays for important service or status messages such as toasts.
- `--o3-z-modal-dialog`: Modal dialogue / overlays which prevent interaction with underlying content.

Where two elements fall into the same category and overlap, you may increment by one:

```css
.navigation-drawer {
	z-index: calc(var(--o3-z-navigation-popover) + 1);
}

.navigation-sticky {
	z-index: var(--o3-z-navigation-popover);
}
```

## Focus rings

`o3-foundation` provides focus rings in two styles.

1. A single outline by default, for example on anchor elements, which is unobtrusive.
1. A double focus ring for buttons and form elements, this ensures contrast regardless of the element colour and its background.

The double focus rings consist of two rings: an outer black ring and an inner white ring. By default, the outer ring is black and the inner ring is white. However, if you are using an inverse theme, the colors will be inverted.

If you need to apply a focus ring to a different element than the ones mentioned above, you can use the `o3-apply-focus-ring` class on that element.

Users can also revert the focus rings by using the `o3-revert-focus` class on the element.

## Fonts

`o3-foundation` defines two `@font-face`-s. The first one is `Metric2-VF` and it is used fot all brands. The second one is `FinancierDisplayWeb` and currently used by core brand only.

## Icons

CSS Custom Properties for icons are included for each brand in the format: `--o3-icon-[ICON NAME]`.

The icon CSS Custom Property is a [url() CSS function](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/url) for the encoded icon SVG. It may be used anywhere [url()](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/CSS/url) may be used such as within `background-image` and `mask`.

For example, to create a `1rem` sized icon which inherits its colour from the current text colour:

```css
.example-icon-use {
	/* Create a square the size we want an icon */
	display: inline-block;
	width: 1rem;
	height: 1rem;
	/* Set the icon colour, In this case match the
     current foreground text colour. */
	background-color: currentColor;
	/* Mask the square with an Origami icon. */
	mask-image: var(--o3-icon-plus);
	mask-repeat: no-repeat;
	mask-size: contain;
}
```

See our documentation website for a [full list of icons](https://origami-for-everyone.ft.com/guides/icons/) and more details.

## Colours

o3-foundation provides CSS Custom Properties for 3 types of colours:

- Palette: Base colours such as `--o3-color-palette-paper`, `--o3-color-palette-teal`.
- Usecase: Semantic colours such as `--o3-color-use-case-page-background`, `--o3-color-use-case-page-inverse-background`.
- Tints: Modified palette colours `--o3-color-palette-black-10`, `--o3-color-palette-teal-100`.

We recommend using a usecase token where one exists, as this allows us flexibility to update the underlying colour based on how it is used. However it is preferable to use a palette or tint colour directly rather than mis-use a usecase token.

Example:

```css
.example-text {
	color: var(--o3-color-palette-black);
}
```

See our documentation website for a [full list of colours and where to use them](https://origami-for-everyone.ft.com/guides/colours/).

## Spacing

o3-foundation provides CSS Custom Properties for standard spacing values in the format: `--o3-spacing-[spacing size]`. These follow t-shirt sizes from `5xs` to `4xl`.

Example:

```css
.example-spacing {
	margin: var(--o3-spacing-2xs);
}
```

See our documentation website for a [full list of spacing tokens](https://origami-for-everyone.ft.com/guides/spacing/).

## Grid

The `o3-grid` system, provided by `o3-foundation`, standardises usage of grid across ft. The `o3-grid` is responsive on different screen sizes and differs from [`o-grid`](https://o2-core.origami.ft.com/?path=/docs/maintained-o-grid-readme--docs) component. For more detailed guidelines on grid system check our documentation for [`o3-grid`](https://origami-beta.ft.com/guides/grid/).

For a convenient and standardized grid layout, apply the `o3-grid` class to your element:

```html
<div class="o3-grid">
	<!-- Grid Items -->
</div>
```

The `o3-grid` layout template follows a specific structure:

```txt
`bleed-start content-start [REST_OF_THE_COLUMNS] content-end bleed-end`,
```

The o3-grid system adapts to different screen sizes, the number of columns is variable according to viewport size, see design guidelines for [details](https://origami-beta.ft.com/guides/grid/).

- Content-area: The grid's main content area is defined by `content-start` and `content-end` boundaries.
- Bleed Columns for Extended Layouts: `bleed-start` & `bleed-end`: These special columns extend beyond the 12-column grid, reaching the edges of the viewport. This allows you to create "full-bleed" layouts where content extends off the screen. These columns are used as margin areas, providing visual breathing room around your central content.
- `[REST_OF_THE_COLUMNS]`: This represents any additional columns you might need in your grid.

### Positioning grid items

You can precisely control the positioning of grid items using the `grid-column` style or css property:

```html
<div class="o3-grid">
	<div style="grid-column: content-start / content-end;">
		Spans the entire content area
	</div>
	<div style="grid-column: content-start / span 4;">
		Starts at `content-start`, spans 4 columns
	</div>
	<div style="grid-column: content-start / span 2;">
		Starts at `content-start`, spans 2 columns
	</div>
	<div style="grid-column: span 1 / content-end;">
		Ends at `content-end`, spans 1 column back
	</div>
	<div style="grid-column: bleed-left / bleed-right;">
		Spans the entire viewport (full bleed)
	</div>
	<div style="grid-column: bleed-left / content-end;">
		Starts at the left edge, ends at `content-end`
	</div>
</div>
```

### Using grid with nested children

In some cases, an element may be nested deeply and not have access to the grid. o3-foundation provides CSS Custom Properties to help align elements to grid in these cases:

```css
.my-nested-class {
	--o3-grid-columns-to-span-count: 6;
	width: var(--o3-grid-columns-to-span-width);
}
```

Use `--o3-grid-columns-to-span-count` to control how many columns you want your element to span. In this example, the width of `my-nested-class` will be equivalent to 6 columns. `--o3-grid-columns-to-span-count` must be defined for `.o3-grid-columns-to-span-width` to work.

### Advanced usage of grid

For advanced usage `o3-foundation` provides CSS Custom Properties for grid that you can set on your class:

```css
.example-class {
	display: grid;
	/* Controls the column structure of your grid. */
	grid-template-columns: var(--o3-grid-template);
	/* Defines named areas for grid item placement. */
	grid-template-areas: var(--o3-grid-area);
	/* Manages the spacing between grid columns. */
	column-gap: var(--o3-grid-gap);
}
```

## Helper classes

`o3-foundation` provides a set of helper classes to help with common tasks. The list of helper classes includes:

- `o3-visually-hidden`: Hides an element visually, but leaves it available to screen readers
- `o3-box-sizing-border-box`: Applies `box-sizing: border-box` to the current element and all its children
