✂ css-tailor
Automatically generate CSS from your HTML classes
Utility that turns the classes applied upon the DOM elements to CSS. So that you don't have to manually write the CSS for those minor UI enhancements like increasing the padding, adding a little margin, changing the font size, applying a border radius, pumping up the line-height a bit etc.
Usage
All you have to do is specify the CSS class on an element: CSS will be generated and written to a CSS file of your liking or returned for any programmatical use.
All you have to do is specify any HTML class as follows
[formula][value][unit] # If you donot provide the unit, `px` will be used.
For example; mt25 translates to margin-top: 25px, fs14px to font-size: 14px; etc.
