Bloodline is a design system that uses Tachyons as the base and provides common reusable components and widgets to use. Tachyons was built for designing and allows you to design fast loading, highly readable, and 100% responsive UI interfaces with as little css as possible. Widgets included in Bloodline:
- D3 (graphing)
- C3 (D3 helper)
- Datatables.net
- Enjoyhint (walk-thru tutorials)
- hint.css (tooltip)
- jQuery
- Micromodal
- Select2
Colors
Bulleted list
Add the custom bl-bullet-list class on lists to space them out nicely.
- Item 1
- Item 2
- Item 3
- Item 4
- Item 5
- Sub item 1
- Sub item 2
- Sub item 3
- Sub item 4
- Item 6
- Item 7
Border hovers
A few custom hover classes.
Add the custom bl-animate-all class to add a standard bezier curve transition for the color change.
Buttons
Buttons use standard Tachyons classes for design, with custom bl-animate-all class for transition animation.
Data tables
I use a bundle of datatables.net widget for data tables (includes some optional features).
Datatable formatting and button manipulation works with our datatables bundle using these settings.
<table data-widget="datatable" data-buttons='["excel"]' data-dom="lBfrtip" class="w-100 f6 hover display stripe collapse" width="100%">

Fade in/out
To fade an element in, start with both classes bl-fadeout bl-fadein on the element.
Remove the bl-fadeout class to make it fade in.
Add back the bl-fadeout class to make it fade out.
<div class="bl-fadein bl-fadeout">Something to fade in and out</div>
Forms
- Default custom styles are used for fields to ensure same padding and heights
- Custom classes are used for checkboxes, radios, and toggle
- Custom widget is used for auto-expanding text area
- select2 is used for select lists
(just add f6 class)
(just add f6 class)
Fields in horizontal row:
Icons
Tachyons doesn't have "fill" classes, so I created a bl-fill-current-color class that will fill with whatever color you set.
Links
Use inline-flex to easily vertically center-align an icon with text.
This is an inline link always underlined using the underline class.
This is a normal standalone link
Adding bl-animate-all class to the link will animate and slide the icon on hover.
Modal
I use Micromodal and add a few custom styles. Add bl-modal class to the outer div so it's hidden by default.
Header nav
The header nav uses two CSS vars you can set for the colors:
--header-link-color for link static color
--header-link-hover-color for link hover/focus color
Spinner
Dynamic tabs
Custom widget to turn tabs into dynamic (show/hide) tabs.
Tags
Tags can be used for taxonomy tagging or search filters
Tooltip
I use Hint.css - a pure CSS tooltip.
Put the tooltip on an outer container when using a tooltip on a link otherwise the tab focus will outline the tooltip text container.
