By default, a simple, generic interface is rendered to get your search instance up and running quickly. However, this library was designed to be customizable and allow developers to use both custom markup and custom CSS.

For developers who only wish to tweak the default UI rather than create something from scratch, there are some variables and utility methods defined in the default CSS that are available for use.

Variables

Although all components in this library utilize the Shadow DOM, CSS variables are able to cross this boundary in a way that normal CSS rules are not. The following variables can be customized in the host DOM to easily customize some of the default styles:

Info

Internally, all parameters used omit the hawksearch- prefix. This prefix is used only to override the default values.

Breakpoints

This library uses responsive design with the following breakpoints defined:

Name

Suffix

Minimum Width

0px

small

-sm

740px

medium

-md

990px

large

-lg

1260px

extra-large

-xl

1800px

Grid System

This library uses a 12-column, responsive grid system. To use this system, all columns must have a column class and be the direct children of an element with a row class. The number of columns each column elements spans can be controlled with column-XX classes.

For example, the following will render two equal columns that are stacked until the browser window reaches the Medium breakpoint:

Code Block
languagehtml
<div class="row">
  <div class="column column--12 column-md-6">Column 1</div>
  <div class="column column--12 column-md-6">Column 2</div>
</div>

Row Modifiers

The following CSS classes can be added to modify the grid display:

CSS Class

Description

row--reverse

This will cause all columns to be rendered in the reverse order that they are defined

row--tight

This will reduce the space between columns to use var(--padding-xs)

Column Modifiers

The following CSS classes can be added to modify the column display:

CSS Class

Description

column--pull-right

This will force the column to pull to be aligned to the end of the row

Info

All CSS classes used for the Grid System support the suffixes defined in Breakpoints.

Utility Classes

There are several basic utility classes available to quickly customize the display of elements.
