Typeplate

typeplate logo

This is a simple gem to being able to include the Typeplate Starter Kit Sass library on your ruby app (middleman, padrino, sinatra, nanoc, ecc).

Description from their authors:

Frameworks make decisions for you about how to organize, structure and design a site. Pattern libraries don’t separate styling and markup, making them tough to use in a truly modular fashion. We weren’t satisfied, so we made a thing that doesn’t do that.

Typeplate is a "typographic starter kit". We don’t make aesthetic design choices, but define proper markup with extensible styling for common typographic patterns. A stripped–down Sass library concerned with the appropriate technical implementation of design patterns–not how they look.

Installation

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'typeplate'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install typeplate

Usage

Under your application.sass file, just import the file:

@import typeplate

Or, just the mixins:

@import typeplate/mixins

For the helpers, you need to also import the vars:

@import typeplate/vars
@import typeplate/mixins
@import typeplate/helpers

For instructions on the basis of this awesome library, please see their excellent documentation.

Development

After checking out the repo, run bin/setup to install dependencies. Then, run bin/console for an interactive prompt that will allow you to experiment.
