Sass: Working with Libraries
By far the most popular Sass based UI framework is Bootstrap. Another one is Foundation.
Sass libraries are more like a collection of mixins, funtcions and classes. The most common is Compass. Then there is Bourbon.
Installing Bourbon
sudo gem install bourbon
Including Bourbon in a Project
just include the bourbon .scss file in the main stylesheet.
@import "bourbon_bourbon.scss";
Benefits
- You can use all the new CSS3 features without having to worry about backwards compatibility as Bourbon and Compass take care of adding vendor prefixes.
- Font families and their fall back families are defined as variables so you don’t have to type your long list.
