YAML CSS Framework as Gem for Ruby on Rails

YAML (Yet Another Multicolumn Layout) is a modular CSS framework for truly flexible, accessible and responsive websites. YAML is focused on device-independent screen design and provides bullet-proof modules for flexible layouts. This is a perfect starting point and the key to truly responsive design.

• Latest version: 4.1.2
• Website: http://www.yaml.de

This gem is brought to you by the Brain Gourmets, @braingourmets at Twitter.

• Ruby >= 2.0.0

• Sass 3.2+ (if you want to use YAML Sass files)

The version numbers of this gem follow the Semantic Versioning 2.0.0 schema.

In your Gemfile:

gem 'yamlcss'

Then run:

$ bundle install

Restart your server. Then rename application.css to application.css.scss:

mv app/assets/stylesheets/application.css app/assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss

Import YAML at the beginning of application.css.scss. All additional stylesheets must be imported below YAML:

@import "yaml";

YAML includes an easy way to generate a directory with all the necessary files. For command line help: $ yamlcss help

gem install yamlcss

Install YAML into the current directory by generating the yaml folder:

yamlcss install

The generated folder will contain all the YAML files (CSS & Sass). It is recommended not to add or modify the YAML files so that you can update YAML easily.

You can specify a target directory using the path flag:

yamlcss install --path my/custom/path/

Lastly, import the YAML core at the beginning of your stylesheet(s):

@import 'yaml/sass/yaml-sass/core/base';

For your IE hacks stylesheet, use:

@import 'yaml/sass/yaml-sass/core/iehacks';

If you're still using pure CSS, you'll find the important files in the directory yaml/yaml:

@import url("yaml/yaml/core/base.min.css");
