#Responsive

⚠ Note that the viewport variants are disabled in the default build of Cirrus. To enable, you must enable it yourself in _configs.scss and create a custom build or enable it in the config in your Sass project.

//_configs.scss
$config: (
    viewports: (
        flags.$LETTER-SPACING: true,
    )
) !default;

All utility classes mentioned here support viewport based application. All you need to do is add a -<viewport> at the end of the class(es) you are using. For example, use u-tracking-sm-md to apply u-tracking-sm on medium screens and above.

<div class="u-tracking-sm-md">
    <!-- ... -->
</div>

For more information, visit the Viewports documentation.

#Variants

The classes specified above are the default utility classes for setting the letter-spacing property. You can add, change, or remove classes within the _config.scss file of Cirrus.

// _config.scss
$config: (
    extend: (
        letter-spacing: (
            2x-tighter: '-.1em'
        )
    )
) !default;

This would generate the following classes.

.tracking-2x-tighter {
    letter-spacing: -.1rem !important;
}
