(Proposal) (Draft) Advanced use​

This feature is a proposal, won't work on production use.

height and height support specifying min, max, and initial values.

This is how it looks like:

--height=(initial) or --height=(min)-(max)-(initial)

--height=100px                // initial only
--height=100px-1080px-50vh    // min, max, initial
--height=100px-1080px         // min, max
--height=?-1080px             // min (none), max
--height=100px-?              // min , max (none)
--height=100px-?-50vh         // min , max (none), initial

you can skip the declaration with ? keyword. this is a special keyword, interpreted as undefined

"--height=100px-?-50vh" this will make css for example, as below.

.foo {
  min-height: 100px;
  height: 50vh;
}

"--height=100px-1080px" this indicates only min and max, yet, still the height will be specified based on current height of the origin design.

.foo {
  min-height: 100px;
  max-height: 1080px;
  height: 400px; /* this is from the design */
}

Ignoring one of the property​

Using explicit --ignore flag to ignore the height, you can use new flag --ignore set to height. like so - --ignore=height

.foo {
  min-height: 100px;
  max-height: 1080px;
  /* height: 400px; this is ignored by --ignore flag */
}

Using ? keyword Otherwise, you can simply use silincer keyword ? to ignore the height, like so - --height=100px-1080px-?

This will also generate style like below.

.foo {
  min-height: 100px;
  max-height: 1080px;
  /* height: 400px; this is ignored by "?" keyword */
}

Referencing current value with .​

Setting max-height to current height (based on design) with - --height=100px-.-.

This will generate style like below.

.foo {
  min-height: 100px;
  max-height: 400px; /* the current height from design */
  height: 400px; /* the current height from design */
}
