README

o-footer

Core brand FT page footer component. See the Origami Navigation Service to populate o-footer markup with real navigation data.

Usage

Check out how to include Origami components in your project to get started with o-footer.

_See o-footer-services for an alternate footer style for tools and specialist titles. _

Markup

The basic structure of a simple footer has a theme and includes legal links, a copyright notice, and a logo. The demo on the component page does not use real navigation data as it may become out of date. See the Origami Navigation Service to populate o-footer markup with real navigation data. The Origami Navigation Service is a JSON API which provides navigation structures for use across FT websites.

<footer class="o-footer o-footer--theme-dark" data-o-component="o-footer" data-o-footer--no-js="">
    <div class="o-footer__container">
        <div>
            <ul class="o-footer__legal-links">
                <li><a href="#"><!-- legal link 1--></a></li>
                <li><a href="#"><!-- legal link 2--></a></li>
                <li><a href="#"><!-- legal link 3--></a></li>
            </ul>
        </div>
        <div class="o-footer__copyright">
            <small>
                <!-- copyright notice -->
            </small>
        </div>
    </div>
    <div class="o-footer__brand">
        <div class="o-footer__container">
            <div class="o-footer__brand-logo"></div>
        </div>
    </div>
</footer>

Themes

Themes include o-footer--theme-dark and o-footer--theme-light:

-<footer class="o-footer o-footer--theme-dark" data-o-component="o-footer" data-o-footer--no-js="">
+<footer class="o-footer o-footer--theme-light" data-o-component="o-footer" data-o-footer--no-js="">
    <!-- ... -->
</footer>

Link Matrix

A more complex footer with a matrix of links is also supported. Add a row o-footer__row with o-footer__matrix. Links within the matrix are grouped by o-footer__matrix-group. Each group has a title o-footer__matrix-title and an element to contain the links o-footer__matrix-content. To display the links in columns within the group they are also wrapped in o-footer__matrix-column.

The width of the columns and the way they collapse on smaller viewports may be controlled by adding a modifier class to each group o-footer__matrix-group--[NUMBER]. Where NUMBER is the number of columns in a row on desktop (1, 2, 4, or 6).

See demos in the registry for full markup examples.

Sass

To include all o-footer css call the oFooter mixin. However, to keep your CSS bundle size low, we recommend using the $opts argument to include only the features you need.

@import '@financial-times/o-footer/main';
@include oFooter();

To output just the footer styles you need pass an options $opts map. The map accepts:

  • themes: A list of themes to include. Available themes are light and dark.
  • matrix: Whether to output styles for a complex navigation structure (not required for a simple footer).
  • margin: A length to set a custom top margin for o-footer.

E.g. include only the dark theme for a simple footer of legal links:

@include oFooter($opts: (
    'themes': ('dark')
));

E.g. include only the dark theme for a complex footer with a matrix of site links:

@include oFooter($opts: (
    'themes': ('dark'),
    'matrix': true
));

JavaScript

Unless you're using the Build Service no JS will run automatically. You must either construct an o-footer object or fire the o.DOMContentLoaded event, which oFooter listens for.

Constructing an o-footer

import oFooter from '@financial-times/o-footer';

const ofooter = new oFooter();

Firing an oDomContentLoaded event

document.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function() {
    document.dispatchEvent(new CustomEvent('o.DOMContentLoaded'));
});
