Features
Pure is meant to be a starting point for every website or web app. We take care of all the CSS work that every site needs, without making it look cookie-cutter:
-
A responsive grid that can be customized to your needs.
-
A solid base built on Normalize.css to fix cross-browser compatibility issues.
-
Consistently styled buttons that work with
<a>
and<button>
elements. -
Styles for vertical and horizontal menus, including support for dropdown menus.
-
Useful form alignments that look great on all screen sizes.
-
Various common table styles.
-
An extremely minimalist look that is super-easy to customize.
-
Responsive by default, with a non-responsive option.
-
Extremely small file size: 4.5KB minified + gzip.
Get Started
To get started using Pure, go to the Pure CSS website. The website has extensive documentation and examples to help you start using Pure.
You can include the Pure CSS file in your project by fetching it from unpkg:
<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://unpkg.com/purecss@1.0.1/build/pure-min.css" integrity="sha384-nn4HPE8lTHyVtfCBi5yW9d20FjT8BJwUXyWZT9InLYax14RDjBj46LmSztkmNP9w" crossorigin="anonymous">
You can also install Pure using Bower, using the following command:
$ bower install --save pure
Or you can install Pure using NPM:
$ npm install purecss
Build From Source
Optionally, you can build Pure from its source on Github. To do this, you'll need to have Node.js and npm installed. We use Grunt to build Pure.
$ git clone git@github.com:pure-css/pure.git
$ cd pure
$ npm install
$ grunt
Build Files
Now, all Pure CSS files should be built into the pure/build/
directory. All
files that are in this build directory are also available on the CDN. The naming
conventions of the files in the build/
directory follow these rules:
-
[module]-core.css
: The minimal set of styles, usually structural, that provide the base on which the rest of the module's styles build. -
[module]-nr.css
: Rollup of[module]-core.css
+[module].css
+[module]-[feature].css
from thesrc/[module]/
dir. This is the non-responsive version of a module. -
[module].css
: Rollup of[module]-nr.css
+[module]-r.css
from thebuild/
dir. This is the responsive version of a module. -
*-min.css
: A minified file version of the files of the same name. -
pure.css
: A rollup of all[module].css
files in thebuild/
dir. This is a responsive roll-up of everything, non-minified. Note: does not contain responsive grids with @media queries. -
pure-min.css
: Minified version ofpure.css
that should be used in production. -
pure-nr.css
: A Rollup of all modules without @media queries. This is a non-responsive roll-up of everything, non-minified. -
pure-nr-min.css
: Minified version ofpure-nr.css
that should be used in production. -
grids-responsive.css
: Unminified version of Pure's grid stylesheet which includes @media queries. -

that should be used in production.
Browser Support and Testing
Pure is tested and works in:
- IE 8+

- Android 4.4+, as the way views work changed between older versions of Android and newer versions of Android around this time.
