Bones for Rails

Bones for Rails packages the current build of Bones CSS Framework and inserts applicable portions of it into the asset pipeline to help streamline the design of your application.

Bones Documentation

A documentation website for Bones is in the works. For now, all documentation for the framework itself can be found here.

Getting Started

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'bones-rails'

Install using:

$ bundle install

Or install it to your system:

$ gem install bones-rails

If you prefer to have more control over Bones, I'd suggest checking out the SCSS method of installation. This installation of Bones is optimized for use in Ruby on Rails projects.

Usage

We can add the necesasry files to the asset pipeline by running:

$ rails g bones:install

The installation generator performs a number of tasks you should be aware of:

1. application.scss

Bones requires that you use the .scss extension for your application stylesheet (your manifest file). If it detects anything other than application.scss, it will change the filename to application.scss

Once we're sure application.scss exists, the generator adds the following line to the top of your application.scss file:

@import 'bones/bones';

2. Controller

The controller (or manifest file) for Bones is bones.scss. This is where you configure which modules you'd like to load. First, we create a new directory: app/assets/stylesheets/bones. Then we place the new configuration file into this directory: app/assets/stylesheets/bones/bones.scss.

3. Bones Configuration Files

Last, we add all the configuration files to a new directory: app/assets/stylesheets/bones/bones-config.

In this directory is where you can configure Bones to your liking and see it change when you refresh your browser.
