Yohns Updated Version
---------------------

[](#yohns-updated-version)

I'm not sure if the original [Pico CSS](https://github.com/picocss/pico) repository is abandoned or not, but I really liked what they had to offer, and wanted to help not let this awesomely simple and easy to use front end framework disappear, so I merged as many of open pull requests that fixed some issues, and / or enhanced the project that were available at the time. I'll try to help keep it viable and do some bug fixes if any arise, and would always appreciate anyone elses help to continue keeping this alive!

You can see the new features I, and many others have created pull requests for by going to [Yohns Pico CSS](https://yohn.github.io/PicoCSS). This page just has the demos of most of the features I have merged, or added to the project.

Extras Built on top of PicoCSS
------------------------------

[](#extras-built-on-top-of-picocss)

- [Alert, Confirm, and Prompt Dialogs](https://github.com/Yohn/PicoCSS-Datatables/blob/main/src/CustomDialog.js) (Will work on that more later, but it works good!)
- [YoSelect](https://github.com/Yohn/YoSelect) Searchable `` options, with tagging, image support, and a lot more!
- [PicoCSS-WYSIWYG](https://github.com/Yohn/PicoCSS-WYSIWYG) Simple editor wih card, accordion, image, links, lists, headers and more
- [PicoCSS-Datatables](https://github.com/Yohn/PicoCSS-Datatables) Searchable, sortable, editable, filterable table data helper.
- [PicoCSS-Tag-Select](https://github.com/Yohn/PicoCSS-Tag-Select) Simplier tag class to change a select tag into tags

Quick start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

There are 4 ways to get started with pico.css:

### Install manually

[](#install-manually)

[Download Pico](https://github.com/Yohn/PicoCSS/archive/refs/heads/main.zip) and link `/css/pico.min.css` in the `` of your website.

```

```

### Usage from CDN

[](#usage-from-cdn)

Alternatively, you can use [jsDelivr CDN](https://www.jsdelivr.com/package/npm/@yohns/picocss) to link pico.css.

```

```

### Install with NPM

[](#install-with-npm)

```
npm i @yohns/picocss
```

Then, import Pico into your SCSS file with [@use](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/at-rules/use):

```
@use "pico";
```

### Starter HTML template

[](#starter-html-template)

```

    Hello world!

      Hello world!

```

Class-less version
------------------

[](#class-less-version)

Pico provides a `.classless` version.

In this version, ``, ``, and `` inside `` act as containers to define a centered or a fluid viewport.

Use the default `.classless` version if you need centered viewports:

```

```

Or use the `.fluid.classless` version if you need a fluid container:

```

```

Then just write pure HTML, and it should look great:

```

    Hello, world!

      Hello, world!

```

Limitations
-----------

[](#limitations)

Pico CSS can be used without custom CSS for quick or small projects. However, it’s designed as a starting point, like a “reset CSS on steroids”. As Pico does not integrate any helpers or utilities `.classes`, this minimal CSS framework requires SCSS or CSS knowledge to build large projects.
