# Nib
Stylus mixins, utilities, components, and gradient image generation. Don't forget to check out the [documentation](http://visionmedia.github.com/nib/).
## Installation
```bash
$ npm install nib
```
If the image generation features of Nib are desired, such as generating the linear gradient images, install [node-canvas](http://github.com/learnboost/node-canvas):
```bash
$ npm install canvas
```
## JavaScript API
Below is an example of how to utilize nib and stylus with the connect framework (or express).
```javascript
var connect = require('connect')
, stylus = require('stylus')
, nib = require('nib');
var server = connect();
function compile(str, path) {
return stylus(str)
.set('filename', path)
.set('compress', true)
.use(nib());
}
server.use(stylus.middleware({
src: __dirname
, compile: compile
}));
```
## Stylus API
To gain access to everything nib has to offer, simply add:
```css
@import 'nib'
```
Or you may also pick and choose based on the directory structure in `./lib`, for example:
```css
@import 'nib/gradients'
@import 'nib/overflow'
```
to be continued....
