Features

Pure is a starting point for every website or web app. We take care
of all the CSS work that every site needs without making it look cookie-cutter:

- A responsive grid that can be customized to your needs.

- A solid base built on [Normalize.css][] to fix cross-browser compatibility
issues.

- Consistently styled buttons that work with <a> and <button> elements.

- Styles for vertical and horizontal menus, including support for dropdown
menus.

- Useful form alignments that look great on all screen sizes.

- Various common table styles.

- An extremely minimalist look that is super-easy to customize.

- Responsive by default, with a non-responsive option.

- Extremely small file size: 3.7KB minified + gzip.

Get Started

Build From Source

Optionally, you can build Pure from its source on Github. To do this, you'll
need to have Node.js and npm installed. We use [Grunt][] to build Pure.

shell
git clone [email protected]:pure-css/pure.git
cd pure
npm install
grunt

Build Files

Now, all Pure CSS files should be built into the pure/build/ directory. All
files that are in this build directory are also available on the CDN. The naming
conventions of the files in the build/ directory follow these rules:

- [module]-core.css: The minimal set of styles, usually structural, that
provide the base on which the rest of the module's styles build.

- [module]-nr.css: Rollup of [module]-core.css + [module].css +
[module]-[feature].css from the src/[module]/ dir. This is the
non-responsive version of a module.

- [module].css: Rollup of [module]-nr.css + [module]-r.css from the
build/ dir. This is the responsive version of a module.

- *-min.css: A minified file version of the files of the same name.

- pure.css: A rollup of all [module].css files in the build/ dir. This is
a responsive roll-up of everything, non-minified. Note: does not contain responsive grids with @media queries.

- pure-min.css: Minified version of pure.css that should be used in
production.

- pure-nr.css: A Rollup of all modules without @media queries. This is a
non-responsive roll-up of everything, non-minified.

- pure-nr-min.css: Minified version of pure-nr.css that should be used in
production.

- grids-responsive.css: Unminified version of Pure's grid stylesheet which
includes @media queries.

- grids-responsive-min.css: Minified version of grids-responsive.css that
should be used in production.
