Agnostic::Frontend

Because in the absence of evidence, one should never assume.

Purpose

The primary purpose of this gem is to make available, in a single gem, various css tools (i.e. resets/grids) and some cookie-cutter javascripts for the Rails asset pipeline. It kinda just seems to make sense that we should really leverage the power of the asset pipeline which we're already using for getting rid of some fairly mundane and monotonous tasks.

Included CSS Resets

These files are nested under the path 'reset', so if you want to include the a reset, do so with the following sprocket directive:

/*
 *= require reset/#{name_of_file}
*/

Blueprint

*= require reset/blueprint

Twitter Bootstrap (only their reset portion of their css, in case you're strapped into the system)

*= require reset/bootstrap
*= require reset/bootstrap.min

Eric Meyer

*= require reset/eric-meyer
*= require reset/eric-meyer.min

HTML5 doctor

*= require reset/eric-meyer
*= require reset/eric-meyer.min

Normalize

*= require reset/normalize
*= require reset/normalize.min

Yahoo YUI3

*= require reset/yui3
*= require reset/yui3.min

Included Grid Systems

These files are nested under the path 'grid', so if you want to include the a reset, do so with the following sprocket directive:

*= require grid/#{name_of_file}

Blueprint

*= require grid/blueprint #for convenience this will package up blueprint's forms/grid/ie/print/typography files
# If, hypothetically, you decide to completely ignore and punish people for using internet explorer,
# then you're in luck, as I have left you the option of including the blueprint files individually, say:
*= require grid/blueprint/grid
*= require grid/blueprint/print
*= require grid/blueprint/forms
*= require grid/blueprint/typography
# thus forgoing the blueprint i.e. file:
*= require grid/blueprint/ie

Grid 960

*= require grid/960
*= require grid/960_rtl
*= require grid/960_12_col
*= require grid/960_12_col_rtl
*= require grid/960_16_col
*= require grid/960_16_col_rtl
*= require grid/960_24_col
*= require grid/960_24_col_rtl

Intuit (i.e. an elastic spin off of Grid960. caveat: this one includes it's own reset)

*= require grid/intuit

Fluid 960

*= require grid/fluid_960

Twitter Bootstrap (only the grid & layout portion)

*= require grid/bootstrap
*= require grid/bootstrap.min

Included Javascripts

//= adapt.js # some grid 960 js file
//= bootstrap # version 2.1.0
//= bootstrap.min # version 2.1.0
//= jquery.cookie # how is this not included in jquery core??
//= modernizr # how is this not included in jquery core??
//= yepnope #conditional loading of files
