# Z-Index Functions
# Set Up
The z()
function is about as straight forward as they come, but will be immensely helpful in keeping your sanity intact. The function will pull the values based on the $z-indexes
variable in the _variables.scss
file at the root of the /00_Abstracts
directory.
# Example
.modal {
z-index: z(xl);
}
.tooltip {
z-index: z(xs);
}
.toast {
z-index: z(md);
}
.very-important-message {
z-index: z(trump);
}
NOTE
Another common pattern is, rather than using the default values, use the component name that you are setting the z-index for (tooltip
, modal
, etc.). This could be very useful, but be careful, as it could also result in a lot of unnecessary values.
