Syncing named breakpoints across CSS, JS, and HTML.

Demo and more information here.

SASS Integration

Declare breakpoints and specify names in _breakpoints.scss

// declare breakpoints
$usn-x-small         : 200px;
$usn-small           : 400px;
$usn-small-medium    : 600px;
$usn-medium          : 800px;
$usn-large-medium    : 1000px;
$usn-large           : 1200px;
$usn-x-large         : 1400px;

// create sass list to pass media query data
// if a breakpoint name changes, remember to
// update it in the list below as well
$mq-sync:
  usn-x-small        $usn-x-small,
  usn-small          $usn-small,
  usn-small-medium   $usn-small-medium,
  usn-medium         $usn-medium,
  usn-large-medium   $usn-large-medium,
  usn-large          $usn-large,
  usn-x-large        $usn-x-large
;

LESS Integration

Declare breakpoints and specify names in breakpoints.less

// declare breakpoints
@usn-x-small         : 200px;
@usn-small           : 400px;
@usn-small-medium    : 600px;
@usn-medium          : 800px;
@usn-large-medium    : 1000px;
@usn-large           : 1200px;
@usn-x-large         : 1400px;

// create list to pass media query data
// if a breakpoint name changes, remember to
// update it in the list below as well
@breakpoints: "usn-x-small @{usn-x-small}",
              "usn-small @{usn-small}",
              "usn-small-medium @{usn-small-medium}",
              "usn-medium @{usn-medium}",
              "usn-large-medium @{usn-large-medium}",
              "usn-large @{usn-large}",
              "usn-x-large @{usn-x-large}";

// you need to explicity tell LESS how many
// breakpoints you have
@number-of-breakpoints: 7;

Stylus Integration

Declase breakpoints and specify names in breakpoints.styl

// declare breakpoints
$usn-x-small         = 200px
$usn-small           = 400px
$usn-small-medium    = 600px
$usn-medium          = 800px
$usn-large-medium    = 1000px
$usn-large           = 1200px
$usn-x-large         = 1400px

// create list to pass media query data
// if a breakpoint name changes, remember to
// update it in the list below as well
$mq-sync = usn-x-small        $usn-x-small,
           usn-small          $usn-small,
           usn-small-medium   $usn-small-medium,
           usn-medium         $usn-medium,
           usn-large-medium   $usn-large-medium,
           usn-large          $usn-large,
           usn-x-large        $usn-x-large

Manual Installation

Include unison.min.js on your page:

<script src="unison.min.js"></script>

Verify everything is working by entering Unison.fetch.all() in the javascript console of your browser. If the CSS is not set up properly, or your page is missing the title tag, the returned value will be null.

Bower Installation

If you're using Bower:

bower install unison

Then point to the script within the bower_components directory:

<script src="bower_components/unison/js/unison.min.js"></script>

The various preprocessor partials can be found in bower_components/unison/css/.
