Designed to make margins, paddings, gutters consistent across the project.
From design point of view this is an argeement on what distance to use between objects in UI layout. From frontend perspective this is a set of classnames to rule margins and paddings on different media queries breakpoints. Together it is a part of communication language between designers and frontend developers.

NPM

Bower
bower install space.less --save
Link compiled space.css in the head of your page.
Apply classes to any HTML element to get desired margins and paddings.
See docs for classnames.
Install library with npm install space.less --save-dev and include its main file inside your project less file:
@import (less) "./node_modules/space.less/space.less";That is enough to run library with default parameters.
Parameters stored in mixin:
.space-settings() {
@spaces: 0, 8px, 16px, 24px, 40px, 64px, 104px, 168px;
@spacealias: zero, nano, micro, mili, base, kilo, mega, giga;
// media breakpoints
@breakpoints:
~"(min-width: 576px)",
~"(min-width: 768px)",
~"(min-width: 992px)",
~"(min-width: 1200px)";
// names for breakpoint suffixes
@suffixes: xs, sm, md, lg, xl;
// IMPORTANT: suffixes count should be bigger than breakpoints count by 1
// suffixes-count = breakpoints-count + 1
}To change any (or every) parameter add setting mixin after import inside your .less file:
@import (less) "./node_modules/space.less/space.less";
.space-settings() {
@spaces: 0, 5px, 10px, 25px, 50px;
@spacealias: zero, small, normal, large, huge;
}Only sizes and names for spacing was redefined in example above. Breakpoint parameters remains default.
