matcha.css

Drop-in semantic styling library in pure CSS.

matcha.css is a pure CSS library designed to style HTML elements similarly to a default browser stylesheet, eliminating the need for users to manually patch their documents.

Ideal for fast prototyping, static HTML pages, Markdown-generated documents, and developers seeking to streamline their workflow without delving into CSS intricacies and want to make use of the full range of available HTML elements.

  • No build steps
  • No dependencies
  • No JavaScript
  • No configuration needed
  • No refactoring required
  • ~8.8kB gzipped (can be further reduced)

🍵 Fun Fact: This very page is styled using matcha.css!

Why choose matcha.css?

Agnostic
Works seamlessly with any document and covers a broader range of HTML elements compared to similar libraries. It remains unobtrusive by leveraging CSS pseudo-elements and offers extensive browser support.
Reversible
Simply include its <link rel="stylesheet"> to get started, and remove it whenever necessary without the need for document refactoring or cleanup.
Semantic
Adapts styling based on elements hierarchy, providing intuitive behaviors such as implicit submenus when nesting <menu> elements, required field indicator (*) when a <label> is paired with <input required>, etc.
Customizable
Brew your own build using our custom builder to select specific features and reduce the final build size according to your project's needs.
Open-source
Released under the MIT License, freely available at github.com/lowlighter/matcha.

Usage

To utilize matcha.css, just include the following line in the <head> section of your document. It's that simple!

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://matcha.mizu.sh/matcha.css">

Assets are hosted on Vercel but matcha.css is also available on npm and CDN services that distributes npm packages such as JSdelivr.

All published versions are available in the /v/ directory. By default, the main branch is served.

À la carte

Each subdirectory available in github.com/lowlighter/matcha/styles is also served directly from this website. For example, if you only wish to include the @syntax-highlighting styles rather than using the default build or a custom one, you could use:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://matcha.mizu.sh/styles/@syntax-highlighting/mod.css">

However note that unless you provide your own CSS variables, you will most likely need to include the @root package as it contains all matcha.css variables definition.

All mod.css files are also aliased to their respective parent directories for convenience, which means you can also use:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://matcha.mizu.sh/@syntax-highlighting.css">

Preset builds

matcha.css provides preset builds for added convenience. If you need a specific set of features, you can also use the custom builder.

  • Default ~8.8kB
    • All semantic styling and extra features except @istanbul-coverage.
    • <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://matcha.mizu.sh/matcha.css">
  • Lite ~5.57kB
  • Utility classes ~3.42kB
    • @root and @utilities.
    • <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://matcha.mizu.sh/matcha.utilities.css">
  • Istanbul coverage ~1.92kB

  • ☑️ Supported browsers

    matcha.css is meticulously crafted to ensure compatibility with all modern browsers.

    Methodology:
    1. Generate matcha.css stylesheet.
    2. Generate report table using jsr.io/@libs/bundle, which performs the following tasks:
      1. Retrieves the browsers list using browserslist.
      2. Parses the stylesheet using csstree.
      3. Checks the support of each CSS feature across browser versions using MDN browser compatibility data.
      4. Generates a summary <table> for easy reference.
    Notes:
    • Browser list adheres to defaults (> 0.5%, last 2 versions, Firefox ESR, not dead).
    • The first row displays the overall support for each browser.
    • Please note that the auto-generated table may contain minor inaccuracies due to the complexity of mapping CSS features against compatibility data.
    • Thus, browsers scoring 90% and above are considered fully supported.

    You can toggle verbosity to display additional information, such as specific CSS features and rules reported as partially supported or unsupported.

    • Unsupported feature
    • Partially supported feature
    • Prefixed supported feature
    • Unknown feature

    Tales of the last Lorekeeper

    The paintings that cover the walls of this tower... These are the history of humanity and of nature itself. They're the tales that have been passed down by my ancestors for thousands of years.

    Thousands of years ago, in the primal age long lost, the world was overflowing with natural energy. People could do nothing. The only choice was to watch as disaster upon disaster swept over them.

    It was in such a time that a great many meteoroids poured from the darkness of space, from a place higher even than the heavens.

    3. If the cause of death is written within the next 40 seconds of writing the person's name, it will happen.
    4. If the cause of death is not specified, the person will simply die of a heart attack.

    Extras


    Layouts

    matcha.css provides the option to incorporate a layout for your document.

    Utilizing a layout may necessitate a refactor of your document. Additionally, if you choose to discontinue using matcha.css in the future, you may need to refactor your document again.

    Simple layout

    Add .layout-simple to an element to enable this layout.

    Required structure:
    Elements marked with * are required

    • .layout-simple*
      • > header:first-of-type
      • > main:only-of-type
      • > aside:nth-of-type(1), > aside:nth-of-type(2)
        • > nav:only-child
          • > ul
      • > footer:last-of-type
    @media (default)
    <header>
    <main>
    @media (min-width: 960px)
    <header>
    <aside>
    <main>
    @media (min-width: 1280px)
    <header>
    <aside>
    <aside>
    <main>

    The @media (default) will hide aside:nth-of-type(1) on small screens, but it can be made visible again by adding a data-expand attribute. To make it collapsible, use a data-expandable attribute instead. The latter accepts a value to customize the text (e.g. ☰ Menu).

    Utilities

    matcha.css provides utility classes for added convenience.

    Utility classes requires that you patch your document to add classes which make it harder to eventually opt-out of matcha.css in the future.

    While not neccessarily a bad thing per se, it does diverge from the original intent of matcha.css which aims to be semantic-based. Use these only if you plan to stay with matcha.css for the long run.

    Colors, border colors and backgrounds

    Use one of the following classes to alter the element's color, border-color and background-color.

    • Color
      • .default is in --default color.
      • .muted is in --muted color.
      • .accent is in --accent color.
      • .active is in --active color.
      • .variant is in --variant color.
      • .success is in --success color.
      • .attention is in --attention color.
      • .severe is in --severe color.
      • .danger is in --danger color.
    • Border color
      • .bd-default has a ◉ --default border.

      • .bd-success has a ◉ --success border.
      • .bd-attention has a ◉ --attention border.
      • .bd-severe has a ◉ --severe border.
      • .bd-danger has a ◉ --danger border.
    • Background

      • .bg-muted has a ◉ --bg-muted background.
      • .bg-accent has a ◉ --bg-accent background.
      • .bg-active has a ◉ --bg-active background.
      • .bg-variant has a ◉ --bg-variant background.
      • .bg-success has a ◉ --bg-success background.
      • .bg-attention has a ◉ --bg-attention background.
      • .bg-severe has a ◉ --bg-severe background.
      • .bg-danger has a ◉ --bg-danger background.
    • Foreground
      • .fg-default has a ◉ --default background.
      • .fg-muted has a ◉ --muted background.
      • .fg-accent has a ◉ --accent background.
      • .fg-active has a ◉ --active background.
      • .fg-variant has a ◉ --variant background.
      • .fg-success has a ◉ --success background.
      • .fg-attention has a ◉ --attention background.
      • .fg-severe has a ◉ --severe background.
      • .fg-danger has a ◉ --danger background.

    Flashs

    Flash blocks can be used to draw attention. They can be combined with any color class.

    • .flash styles the element as a flash block.
    • .flash.foreground styles the element as a flash block with a foreground.
  • Default
    Default foreground
    Muted
    Muted foreground
    Accent
    Accent foreground
    Active
    Active foreground
    Variant
    Variant foreground
    Success
    Success foreground
    Attention
    Attention foreground
    Severe
    Severe foreground
    Danger
    Danger foreground
    See code
    <div class="flash default">Default</div>
    <div class="flash fg-default">Default foreground</div>

    <div class="flash fg-attention">Attention foreground</div>
    <div class="flash severe">Severe</div>
    <div class="flash fg-severe">Severe foreground</div>
    <div class="flash danger">Danger</div>
    <div class="flash fg-danger">Danger foreground</div>

    Classes

    While matcha.css is mostly intended to be used along with semantic styling, it still provides a subset of utility classes for added convenience.

    matcha.css does not aim to become a fully-fledged CSS framework.

    Consider using (or switching to) a utility-first CSS framework if you find the provided utility classes lacking or too limited.

    Synergies

    Including utilities classes offers additional styling to the following:

    Form validation

    matcha.css provides rules that automatically colors the borders of inputs based on their validation status.

    • :user-valid has --success borders.
    • :user-invalid has --danger borders.
  • *No validation except the ones operated by the browser are performed.

    See code
    <form method="get" onsubmit="event.preventDefault()">
      <label>
        URL:
        <small>Type an URL below. If it is valid, it'll appear in <code><span class="success"></span> --success</code> while it'll appear in <code><span class="danger"></span> --danger</code> if not.</small>
        <input required type="url" placeholder="https://example.com">
      </label>
    </form>

    Syntax highlighting

    matcha.css provides syntax highlighting classes that respect @media (prefers-color-scheme) and are fully compatible with highlight.js library.

    The **Knowledge Navigator**, or **NAVI** for short, is a series of high-powered computers designed for users to easily access the [Wired](https://lain.wiki/wiki/The_Wired).
    
    While some aren't pretty to look at, they are unmistakably powerful. NAVIs can come in almost any shape or form.

    Code editor

    matcha.css provides classes that can be used to create a simple code editor with syntax highlighting.

    Required structure:
    Elements marked with * are required.

    • .editor*
      • > textarea*
      • > div.highlight*
  • See code
    <div class="editor">
      <textarea rows="6">// This element is editable and highlights TypeScript code
    import * as mizu from "https://mizu.sh/mizu.js"
    
    const { version } = mizu
    console.log(`🌊 mizu.js version: ${version}`)
    </textarea>
      <div class="highlight"></div>
    </div>
    <script>
    {
      /// <reference lib="dom" />
      const editor = document.currentScript.previousElementSibling
      const textarea = editor.querySelector("textarea")
      const highlight = editor.querySelector(".highlight")
      textarea.addEventListener("input", () => coloration(textarea.value))
      textarea.addEventListener("scroll", function () {
        highlight.scrollTop = this.scrollTop
        highlight.scrollLeft = this.scrollLeft
      })
      function coloration(value) {
        highlight.innerHTML = hljs.highlight(value, { language: "typescript" }).value
      }
      coloration(textarea.value)
      
    }
    </script>

    These extra styles does not actually perform syntax highlighting, it is only for styling the code editor. It is required to include a syntax highlighting library like highlight.js. See the example code above for a simple implementation.

    Use with matcha.css's syntax highlighting classes for a extra synergy!

    Istanbul coverage reports

    matcha.css provides classes that respect @media (prefers-color-scheme) and are compatible with istanbul.js-like coverage reports.
