## SCSS

SCSS is an extension of CSS, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. It's translated to well-formatted, standard CSS using the command line tool or a web-framework plugin.

"SCSS" (for "Sassy CSS") is a superset of CSS's syntax. This means that every valid CSS stylesheet is valid SCSS as well. SCSS files use the extension .scss

##### Recommended Compiler - Scout-App

We recommend you to use an application called Scout-App (v2.12.12) for converting SCSS to CSS. Scout-App can run in windows, linux and mac.

Click here to download the application.

This video demonstrates how to use Scout-App application:

## Portfolio

#### Portfolio Filter

Portfolio has 4 different filter styles you can choose from.

###### Filter style 1(default):

    <div class="filter">
      <ul>
        <li data-filter="all">All</li>
        <li data-filter=".category-1">First</li>
        <li data-filter=".category-2">Second</li>
        <li data-filter=".category-3">Third</li>
      </ul>
    </div>

    <div class="portfolio-masonry">
      ...
    </div>

###### Filter style 2:

    <div class="filter filter-style-2">
      <ul>
        <li data-filter="all">All</li>
        <li data-filter=".category-1">First</li>
        <li data-filter=".category-2">Second</li>
        <li data-filter=".category-3">Third</li>
      </ul>
    </div>

    <div class="portfolio-masonry">

      <ul>
        <li data-filter="all">All</li>
        <li data-filter=".category-1">First</li>
        <li data-filter=".category-2">Second</li>
        <li data-filter=".category-3">Third</li>
      </ul>
    </div>

    <div class="portfolio-masonry">
      ...
    </div>

###### Filter style 4:

        <li data-filter=".category-2">Second</li>
        <li data-filter=".category-3">Third</li>
      </ul>
    </div>

    <div class="portfolio-masonry">
      ...
    </div>

#### Portfolio Grid

Basic portfolio grid:

    <div class="row portfolio-grid g-4 hover-style-2">

      <div class="col-12 col-md-6 col-lg-4 portfolio-item category-1">
        ...
      </div>
        ...
    </div>

#### Portfolio Masonry

Since masonry doesn't work with bootstrap grid system, we've made our custom responsive 6 column system for masonry portfolio layout. Just simply add the column class(column-1 to column-6) to .portfolio-masonry element. And use .spacing-0 (or 1/2/3/4/5/6) class for setting the space between portfolio boxes.

The below example will set the columns to three equal-width:

    <div class="portfolio-masonry column-3 spacing-1 hover-style-2">

      <div class="portfolio-item category-1">
        ...
      </div>
      <div class="portfolio-item category-2">
        ...
      </div>
        ...
    </div>

## Sliders

Mono uses Owl Carousel 2 jQuery plugin to handle all the sliders of the template. It's fully responsive and it has large amount of options. You can change the default options via html data-owl-* attribute.

You should create a div with .owl-carousel class and the first divs inside of this class will be the boxes of the slider:

    <div class="owl-carousel">
      <!-- slider box 1 -->
      <div>
      ..
      </div>
      <!-- slider box 2 -->
      <div>
      ..
      </div>
      ...
    </div>

The below example shows how to create slider with 2 columns(on all screen) with navigation.

    <div class="owl-carousel" data-owl-items="2" data-owl-nav="true" data-owl-dots="false">
      <!-- slider box 1 -->
      <div>
      ..
      </div>
      <!-- slider box 2 -->
      <div>
      ..
      </div>
      ...
    </div>

The below example shows how to create responsive slider with navigation and dots. data-owl-xs, data-owl-sm, data-owl-md, data-owl-lg and data-owl-xl are for screen size and the value number is how many columns to show on that screen size.

    <div class="owl-carousel" data-owl-nav="true" data-owl-xs="1" data-owl-sm="2" data-owl-md="3" data-owl-lg="4" data-owl-xl="4">
      <!-- slider box 1 -->
      <div>
      ..
      </div>
      <!-- slider box 2 -->
      <div>
      ..
      </div>
      ...
    </div>

- data-owl-xs - For screen resolution above 0px+
- data-owl-sm - For screen resolution above 576px+
- data-owl-md - For screen resolution above 768px+
- data-owl-lg - For screen resolution above 992px+
- data-owl-xl - For screen resolution above 1200px+

#### All data-attribute options

- data-owl-items - The number of items you want to see on the screen.
- data-owl-margin - margin-right(px) on item.
- data-owl-loop - Infinity loop. Duplicate last and first items to get loop illusion.
- data-owl-center - Center item. Works well with even an odd number of items.
- data-owl-nav - Show next/prev buttons.
- data-owl-rewind - Go backwards when the boundary has reached.
- data-owl-dots - Show dots navigation.

    <div class="pie-chart" data-size="110" data-percent="90" data-bar-color="#141414" data-track-color="#e6e6e6" data-scale-color="rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3)">
      <div class="pie-chart-content">
        <span class="percent"></span>
      </div>
    </div>

#### data-attribute options

## Google Maps

Mono uses gmaps plugin to show Google Maps. By default, the maps width is set to 100% and height is set to 0 and you can set the height of the map using classes.
You can use multiple maps on one page. And every single map should have different id's (#map1, #map2 etc.).

- gmap-xs - sets height to 300px
- gmap-sm - sets height to 350px
- gmap-md - sets height to 400px
- gmap-lg - sets height to 450px
- gmap-xl - sets height to 500px

Basic Map:

    <div id="map1" class="gmap gmap-md" data-latitude="51.513569" data-longitude="-0.123443"></div>

Click here to find your Latitude and Longitude.

In order to use Google Maps, you need to get Google API Key first. Click here to get your API Key.

Then place your API Key in 'YOUR_API_KEY' in your HTML:

    <script src="https://maps.googleapis.com/maps/api/js?key=YOUR_API_KEY"></script>

Click here to see the live examples of Google Maps.

## Contact Form

Basic Contact form:

    <div class="contact-form">
      <form method="post" id="contactform">
        <div class="row gx-3 gy-0">
          <div class="col-12 col-sm-6">
            <input type="text" id="name" name="name" placeholder="Name" required>
          </div>
          <div class="col-12 col-sm-6">
            <input type="email" id="email" name="email" placeholder="E-Mail" required>
          </div>
        </div>
        <input type="text" id="subject" name="subject" placeholder="Subject" required>
        <textarea name="message" id="message" placeholder="Message"></textarea>
        <button class="button button-lg button-outline-dark" type="submit">Send Message</button>
      </form>
      <!-- Submit result -->
      <div class="submit-result">
        <span id="success">Thank you! Your Message has been sent.</span>
        <span id="error">Something went wrong, Please try again!</span>
      </div>
    </div><!-- end contact-form -->

The template has ready to use AJAX/PHP contact form built in it. In order to recieve emails directly to your email address just simply replace your-email@example.com with your email address in assets/php/contact-form.php file.

## Retina

retina.js checks the retina activated images on the page to see if there is a high-resolution version of that image on the server. If a high-resolution variant exists, the script will swap in that image in-place.

For example, if your picture is located at "/images/my-picture.jpg" and the markup for this image looks like this:

    <img src="images/picture.jpg" data-rjs="2">

retina.js will look for a corresponding image located at "/images/my-picture@2x.jpg" when it's activated. If it finds the @2x image on your server then it will load that onto your web page, effectively transforming your picture's markup to look like this:

    <img src="images/picture@2x.jpg">

Please apply data-rjs="2" to the image you want to activate the retina.js on:

    <img src="images/picture.jpg" data-rjs="2">

## Scroll To Top

Scroll to Top button would appear at bottom right of the screen when you scroll down the page. And circle button styles can be applied to this button. This button should be wrapped inside .scrolltotop element.

Basic Scroll to Top button:

    <!-- Scroll to top button -->
    <div class="scrolltotop">
      <a class="button-circle button-circle-md button-circle-dark" href="#">
        <i class="bi bi-arrow-up"></i>
      </a>
    </div>
    <!-- end Scroll to top button -->
