Should there be scale-x and scale-y?

[joeldbirch]

As per subject line. I often use scale-x and scale-y separately. I suppose an alternative to adding more placeholders (if that's a concern) could be to replace the existing scale classes with scale3d behind the scenes, which would allow users to set custom properties with access to all scale axes.

PS. I notice skew is missing also.

@joeldbirch Can you give me some use-cases for only wanting to scale 1 axis?

You can always use the existing scale class as you suggest for scale3d too like so:

$hu-scale-modules: (base);

$hu-scale-types: (
  x1_5y1_3: (1.5, 1.3),
  varXvarY: (var(--x), var(--y)),
);

-> 

.scale\:x1_5y1_3 {
  transform: scale(1.5, 1.3) ;
}

.scale\:varXvarY {
  transform: scale(var(--x), var(--y)) ;
}

Does anyone use the z axis?

When separating inline lists with pseudo generated bar/pipe characters, I like to be able to stretch them taller with `scaleX`. I didn’t realise `scale` took three values like `scale3D`. That should do the trick for now, then! Thanks.

scale only accepts 2 values. It doesn't accept the Z axis like scale3d does. I reckon that should be fine for 99% of cases.

scale3d could be another core placeholder class, or it could be a good candidate for a plugin
