About

veRepo is a SASS library of modules and mixins for robust and maintainable front-end development using SASS. Most of the modular items/objects in this repo will work by just adding 1 class name to the html element you desire to style (although there are some exceptions).

Documentation

Live

Visit this link to read the online version, or follow the next steps to get a local version:

  1. To generate the docs you have to use the grunt command that generates the docs mentioned here.

  2. To view the docs you need to serve them in an http server. One of the fastest ways to do that is via python's httpserver: cd docs and then python -m http.server

Guides

How to use veRepo

(It is highly recommended to use veRepo via bower)

Assuming that your current file structure looks like this:

assets
└──css
	├── _style.scss
	└── _verepo.scss

Where style.scss is the main stylesheet of your project and verepo is the distributable verepo library file found in the root directory of this repository. Now all you have to do is to import the _verepo.scss file inside of style.scss and then use it's components by using @include.

Usage Examples

example #1:

@import "_verepo";
@include normalize;

This will include the latest normalize.css version

example #2:

@import "_verepo";

.blue-flat-button{
	@include button(#fff, #09f, 0);
}

The above will be processed into the following:

.blue-flat-button {
	position: relative;
	display: inline-block;
	padding: 0.5em 1em;
	color: white;
	text-decoration: none;
	background-color: #0099ff;
	border: 1px solid #007acc;
	border-radius: 0;
	background-clip: padding-box;
	transition: 150ms ease-in-out background-color, 150ms ease-in-out box-shadow;
}

.blue-flat-button:hover,
.blue-flat-button:focus {
	cursor: pointer;
	background-color: #4db8ff;
}

.blue-flat-button:active {
	cursor: pointer;
	box-shadow: 0 0 3px #0099ff, 0 0 0.5em rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.25) inset;
}

Bower

veRepo is now in the bower package directory and you can install it by simply running this command:

bower install verepo

Grunt.js

While being in the root directory of the repository you need to run npm install which will allow you to use gruntjs by installing all the dependencies of the current project. After that, you can perform one of these tasks:

  1. grunt update-docs to compile the docs
  2. grunt update-dist to compile the distributable _verepo.scss file
  3. grunt update-example to compile the sass file for the example page
  4. grunt update or grunt to run the 3 tasks above.
  5. grunt connect to initiate a simple http server at http://localhost:8000 which will server a local viewer for the example website and docs

to stop the tasks, you need to press CTRL + C

SCSS to SASS

For the SASS syntax lovers or the SCSS syntax haters, you can use sass-convert to convert the scss files to sass. Later on I might write a script to automate it but currently it doesn't seem wise to develop a tool which will most probably be rewriten again due to this repository's current state (alpha phase).

Contribution Guidelines

  1. Read CONTRIBUTE.md
  2. When creating a new verepo "object", you need to:
    1. include the .scss file inside the verepo library's directory
    2. name it after it's mixin but since it's a partial, prepend a _ in the name (for example _grid.scss)
  3. Inside the file you just created:
    1. Include the documentation declaration (for syntax and information, read here)
    2. Include any import declarations
    3. Include any TODO: declarations
    4. Include the code (mixins, functions etc)
    5. If the mixin you've created takes no parameters, then create an @extend declaration with the same name which will include the mixin you've just created (for example: %clearfix{ @include @clearfix; })
    6. If you create more than 1 mixin in the file, then repeat the previous steps for each mixin
  4. Finally you need to do the following to submit your changes:
    1. Re-generate the verepo documentation locally (there is a guide for this which is mentioned above)
    2. Run grunt update to update the documentation, example page and distributable _verepo.scss file
    3. Push the changes
    4. Update ghpages by running this command while in the root of the verepo repository directory: git checkout gh-pages && git merge master && git push && git checkout master
    5. Finally bump the project version by doing the following:
      1. Read semver's spec and deside whether the changes you've made are considered patch, minor or major
      2. Then use grunt bump to update the project verion with the following command: grunt bump:patch or grunt bump:minor or grunt bump:major
    6. Do a Pull-Request
