From version 0.7.0 you can use Ruby version of Sass with Compass. If you want to use Ruby version first of all you need to install compass by 'gem install compass' (it will install Sass gem too).

You don't need to use the config.rb file, all is configured in Gruntfile.js (Sass block). There will be also Compass imports in _appstyles.scss (You can modify it). If you have any problems with using Sass with Compass it is good to uninstall any of your Sass gems and Compass gems and install only Compass gem again. It will fetch proper version of Sass gem.

Ruby Sass config info: https://github.com/gruntjs/grunt-contrib-sass

You can also use Libsass version (default) which is very fast, but it is compatible with only older Sass 3.3. For Foundation it is ok. And I think soon it will be improved.

Node Sass config info: https://github.com/sindresorhus/grunt-sass

Please test this and send issues if any.

Jade templating engine (early stage.. PR are welcomed)

From version 0.8.0 you can use Jade templating engine (option). It gives you clean and simple html syntax and (whats important) it allows you to use partials includes like header or footer. Example:

html(class="no-js", lang="en")
    include partials/header
    body
        div.row
            div(class="small-12 columns panel radius")
                h1 Yo Foundation 5!
                h2(class="text-right")
                    a(href="https://github.com/juliancwirko/generator-zf5")
                        i(class="fa fa-twitter")
        include partials/footer

Problems to solve:

jade-usemin
bower install (wiredep) with Jade
paths etc...
all as the Jade option in Yeoman prompts convention..

More about Jade: http://jade-lang.com/

LiveReload

For LiveReload call 'grunt' (watching) command and go to http://127.0.0.1:9000

Usemin

Bower-install

Now you can install your libraries much faster. Example:

bower search magnific-popup
...
bower install magnific-popup --save
...
grunt bower-install

This should inject the proper js and css paths into your html files. But you should be careful and check what was injected. 'grunt publish' will then minify and concatenate them into a clean (libraries.min.css and libraries.min.js) files. Instead of a 'bower install' with '--save' you can manualy edit the bower.json file and then run a 'grunt bower-install'. It is also included in the default task - 'grunt'.

Tips

Sometimes after new version is released if you have errors when running yo zf5 You should run npm cache clean
If you have problems with permissions in Linux run this : sudo chown -R `whoami` ~/.npm
if you want you can delete not used javascript components in index.html file. All remaining components will be minified and concatenated into one foundation.min.js
if you have problems with connection to http://127.0.0.1:9000 change 'hostname' in Gruntfile.js 'connect' config. Just add hostname: '[your hostname]' line to options: {...}
if you want you can delete unnecessary/unused Foundation components from main app.scss (it will be lightest main Foundation css file)
place all your html files in the root folder (app) or you have to change assets paths (build etc.)
grunt useminPrepare reference file is only index.html (prevents multiple the same operations) but all html files will be processed, so remember to keep the same usemin 'comments blocks' in all your html files (for now it is good to simply copy index.html, rename it and leave header and footer css and js inclusions with 'comments blocks')
try to avoid situation when you have the same build blocks in two html files with different assets so (examples):

<!-- build:js js/mfpopup/mfpopup.min.js -->
    <script src="js/mfpopup/mfpopup.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->

and

<!-- build:css css/mfpopup/mfpopup.min.js -->
    <script src="js/mfpopup/mfpopup.js"></script>
    <script src="js/mfpopup/other_script.js"></script>
<!-- endbuild -->

you can add new ones

always verify what 'grunt bower-install' injects
You must look aut where you initialize your project. It is better to not initialize your projec in a subfolder next to .yo-rc.json because your files will land here and not in your subfolder from where you are initializing project
if you use Compass.. place your mixin includes after Foundation scss partials - more info (by default they are in _appstyles.scss)
if you use Jade templating remember to place at least header.jade and footer.jade in main app folder - this is needed for bower install injections

You can test it and tell me please if something is not working.

Getting To Know Yeoman

Yeoman has a heart of gold. He's a person with feelings and opinions, but he's very easy to work with. If you think he's too opinionated, he can be easily convinced.

If you'd like to get to know Yeoman better and meet some of his friends, Grunt and Bower, check out the complete Getting Started Guide.
