# Less Rails Bootstrap

Bootstrap is Twitter's toolkit for kickstarting CSS for websites, apps, and more. It includes base CSS styles for typography, forms, buttons, tables, grids, navigation, alerts, and more. To get started -- checkout http://twitter.github.com/bootstrap!

The less-rails-bootstrap project hooks into less-rails (https://github.com/metaskills/less-rails) to provide both compiled and LESS CSS source files from the Twitter Bootstrap project within the Rails 3.1 asset pipeline. Benefits:

* Assets are namespaced in twitter/bootstrap to avoid asset conflicts.
* Top level requires to get all stylesheets or javascripts.
* Ability to import or require individually namespaced stylesheets or javascripts.


## Versioning

This gem will directly track the semantic versioning releases of the Twitter Bootstrap project. Our major and minor versions will always match to theirs. Tho we may have tiny patch level releases specific to this gem.


## Installing

This library requires the less-rails gem greater than 2.0.0 to work. Our gem spec will pull this and less in automatically. So all you need to do is bundle up less-rails-bootstrap in your Gemfle.

```ruby
gem 'less-rails-bootstrap'
```


## Usage

Please see the [less-rails-bootstrap-test](http://github.com/metaskills/less-rails-bootstrap-test) project for working examples of how to use less.rb, less-rails, and less-rails-bootstrap in any way possible. The "CSS Tests Suites" section of the README and code is what you want to focus on.


### JavaScript Usage

Using the JavaScript files is just as easy. You can include all them with a single directive from your `application.js` file. Optionally, you can require only the files you need like `require twitter/bootstrap/modal`.

```javascript
//= require twitter/bootstrap

$(document).ready(function(){
  
});
```


## Testing

Simple! Just clone the repo, then run `bundle install` and `bundle exec rake`. The tests will begin to run. We also use Travis CI to run our tests. The current build status is:

[![Build Status](https://secure.travis-ci.org/metaskills/less-rails-bootstrap.png)](http://travis-ci.org/metaskills/less-rails-bootstrap)

We also have a test rails project setup using all the examples documented above. If you make a github issue and complain about something, I will likely forward you to this project.
