twitter-bootstrap-rails gem workflow
I'm the author of twitter-bootstrap-rails gem. I'll give you a quick walktrough to how to install and use twitter-bootstrap-rails.
Ruby stack;(Ruby 1.9.3, Rails 3.1 or Rails 3.2 is required. Use RVM to get started)
After bundling gem to Gemfile by;
gem 'twitter-bootstrap-rails'bundle install
Run install generator
rails g bootstrap:install
(it will includes Twitter Bootstrap to your app's asset pipeline)
Run layout generator
rails g bootstrap:layout application fixed
(it will generates layout for you, by default application.html.erb and fixed layout will generates)
Run themed generator (optional);
rails g scaffold post title:string description:text
(this step uses Rails generators to create CRUD stuff for you)
rake db:migrate
(migrating to database)
rails g bootstrap:themed posts
(Twitter Bootstrap compatible styling for your 'posts' views and form)
Also there is detailed documentation to install, usage and generators, coffeescript etc.https://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails.
There is a RailsCasts tutorial that is a great starting point:
Run:
rails new APPLICATION -m anyfile.rb
anyfile.rb
gem "therubyracer"gem "less-rails" gem "twitter-bootstrap-rails"generate("scaffold", "Post title:string content:text")rake("db:create")rake("db:migrate")generate("bootstrap:layout", "application fluid")generate("bootstrap:install")generate("bootstrap:themed", "posts")git :initgit :add => "."git :commit => "-m First commit!"
