    Get to know Ubuntu's CSS Framework

    There are numerous CSS frameworks throughout the world wide web ecosystem.

    But Ubuntu is not far behind. Canonical is the company responsible for this distribution GNU/Linux also their framework for you to use the same resources they use on their website.

    It’s Vanilla CSS, a versatile, beautiful and easy-to-use framework.

    Installation

    You can install via command line for interdependent projects and use one of the package managers below:

    Via yarn

    yarn vanilla add-framework

    Or via npm

    sudo npm install -g vanilla-framework

    There is also the option to use via CDN, just enter the address and version number:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/vanilla-framework-version-x.x.x.min.css" />

    Example for the current version according to the publication date of this article:

    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/vanilla-framework-version-2.34.0.min.css" />

    You can still download and link locally, for example:

    wget https://assets.ubuntu.com/v1/vanilla-framework-version-2.34.0.min.css -O vanilla.css

    Usage

    The vanilla documentation is very good and has search tools and is separated by elements, like Bootstrap.

    I made a basic example which is just the image at the top of this article and here is the HTML code:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
   <head>
      <title>Get to know Ubuntu's CSS Framework</title>

      <style>.a-footer {color: #E95420;}</style>
   </head>
