Syntax for loading external font files

January 16, 2023 by Skyler

In the universal CSS file at the top (Kevin Powell includes this before the html{} rules)

@font-face {
  font-family: 'MyFontName';
  src: url('path/to/font-file.woff2') format('woff2');
}

You can repeat the src: line if you want a fallback format (ttf, woff) In the CSS rule:

p {
  font-family: 'MyFontName', Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
}

The long and short on font formats is that there are a bunch. Use woff2 and be done. Source: https://www.oakharborwebdesigns.com/blog/articles/how-to-optimize-a-website.html, https://youtu.be/zK-yy6C2Nck, and others

Center Everything

October 7, 2022 by Skyler

Center an element vertically and horizontally with grid:

.element {
  display: grid;
  place-items: center;
}

Center an element horizontally and vertically using flexbox:

.parent {
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
}

Center a block element horizontally – common for inline elements set as block (ex, img) for this purpose:

.image {
  display: block;
  margin: auto;
}

Center inline (text, span, heading, etc…) elements horizontally:

.txt {
  text-align: center;
}

Horizontally enter an element relative to the viewport:

.element{
position: fixed;
top: 50%;
left: 50%;
transform: translate(-50%, -50%);
}

Horizontally center absolutely positioned element: *Remember to set parent to position:relative.

.child{
position: absolute;
left: 50%;
transform: translateX(50%);
}

Horizontally center absolutely-positioned element within another absolutely-positioned element:

.child{
left: 0;
right: 0;
margin: auto;
}

Horizontally center an inline or inline-block element (common use-case is pseudo elements):

.element:before{
content: '';

}
