Bear - A Sass kit

Bear aims to be an alternative to Twitter's Bootstrap or Foundation. I used to take them as a base for my personnal projects but I'm not totally satisfied about the style and some components.

I hope you will love this project and it will be useful. I'm just "open sourcing" this hoping it could be useful for someone.

Features

  • Simple to use and customize
  • Written in Sass
  • Lightweight
  • Make responsive design easy
  • Open source <3

Installation

I'm a big fan of Ruby on Rails so the kit is available as a gem:

gem 'bear-sass', '~> 1.0'

Then run bundle to install it and add @import "bear" at the top of your stylesheet file.

Alternatively, you can download assets using curl or wget:

$ wget https://github.com/robin850/bear/archive/master.zip
$ unzip master.zip

Then you can use either Sass files (located in the sass directory) or just use the generated CSS file (located in the css folder). Then use a link tag in your HTML files and there you go!

Basic usage with Rails

If you are using Rails, the gem ships with a rails generator for the layout. You can optionally give the name of the generated layout:

$ rails g bear:layout nice

Then add at the top of your file @import "bear"; to use it!

Documentation

The documentation is hosted on github pages. All the components are explained through examples with the necessary code to build them.

Feel free to fix typos and contribute to the documentation in the documentation directory at the root of this repository. Thanks!
