Puppertino Dachshund

Puppertino Dachshund is version 2.0 of Puppertino.

Puppertino brings the look of macOS and iOS to the web. It is a CSS framework that follows Apple's Human Interface Guidelines, with components for both pointer and touch.

It is plain CSS. There is no build step and there are no dependencies. Some components come with a small vanilla JavaScript helper, and each one is optional.

Read the documentation

Quick start

Add one stylesheet to the <head> of your page.

<link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@codedgar/puppertino@2.0.0/dist/css/puppertino.min.css">

Then write markup.

<body class="p-type p-auto-dark-mode">
  <h1>Hello from Puppertino</h1>
  <button class="p-button p-button-primary">Get started</button>
</body>

p-type applies the type scale to headings and paragraphs. p-auto-dark-mode follows the system appearance.

Install

CDN

Three bundles ship. Each one includes the foundations: colors, typography, materials, and dark mode.

All three live in the same folder.

https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@codedgar/puppertino@2.0.0/dist/css/

Pin the version in the URL, as above. A pinned link keeps rendering the same way when a new release ships.

npm

npm install @codedgar/puppertino

// Everything
import '@codedgar/puppertino'

// One platform
import '@codedgar/puppertino/desktop'
import '@codedgar/puppertino/mobile'

// One component, plus the colors it reads from
import '@codedgar/puppertino/colors'
import '@codedgar/puppertino/buttons'

The same paths work with @import in CSS.

JavaScript helpers

The CSS works without JavaScript. Components that open, float, or drag have a helper in src/js/: menus, popovers, modals, sheets, sliders, date pickers, the Dock, and more. Each component page in the docs names the helper it needs.

import '@codedgar/puppertino/js/menus.js'
import '@codedgar/puppertino/js/modals.js'

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@codedgar/puppertino@2.0.0/src/js/menus.js"></script>

What's included

Foundations

• Colors. Thirteen system accents, six text levels, five fills, and semantic backgrounds, each with light and dark values.
• Typography. Apple's text styles from Large Title to Caption 2, with weights and tracking.
• Materials. Five thicknesses of blur and translucency, elevation shadows, and Liquid Glass.
• Layout. Size classes, split views, containers, and readable width.

Desktop components

Buttons, forms (text fields, selects, steppers, search fields, pop-up and pull-down buttons, combo boxes, checkboxes, radios, switches), segmented controls, sliders, disclosure controls, color wells, image wells, date pickers, menus, popovers, tooltips, modals, dialogs and sheets, notifications, windows, sidebars, toolbars, the menu bar and Dock, lists and tables, progress indicators, and scrollbars.

Mobile components

Buttons, forms, color pickers, modals, action sheets, tab bars, navigation bars and toolbars, menus and popovers, sidebars, lists with swipe actions, notifications, empty states, and date pickers.

Dark mode

Put the class on <body>, or on any element to scope it. For a toggle that remembers the choice and syncs across tabs, load darkmode_manager.js.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@codedgar/puppertino@2.0.0/src/js/darkmode_manager.js"></script>
<script>
  puppertinoThemeMan.init({ autoDetect: true });
</script>

Accessibility

Puppertino responds to the system accessibility settings. Reduced motion turns off animated movement. Reduced transparency swaps blurred materials for opaque surfaces. Increased contrast strengthens borders and fills. Keyboard focus stays visible.

Materials fall back to an opaque surface in browsers without backdrop-filter.

Coming from version 1

Every version 1 class still works. The version 2 stylesheets include the version 1 classes alongside the new ones, so upgrading does not require changes to your markup.

Pages that link newfull.css keep working too. That file is frozen as the complete version 1 stylesheet and will not change. For new work, use puppertino.css or puppertino.min.css.

The dark mode script was renamed from dakmode_manager.js to darkmode_manager.js. The old name still loads and will be removed in a future major version.

For AI tools

The docs are also published as plain text, generated from the same sources as the site.

• llms.txt is an index of every page.
• llms-full.txt is the full documentation in one file, with an index of every class.
