Gluhu

A compass extension to help you develop more quickly.

Features

Grid system

Responsive grid. You can define as many columns as you need, customize the breakpoint and define the container width.

Columns sit inside of a row.

<div class="row">

	<div class="column-10">

	</div>


</div>

Navigation

Give a nav element a class of .navigation to format it.

<nav class="navigation">

	<ul>
		
		<li><a href="#">Nav link 1</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Nav link 2</a></li>
		<li><a href="#">Nav link 3</a></li>

	</ul>
		
</nav>

Typography

Typographic scale and vertical rhythm. Fully customizable in the _base.scss file.

Forms

Standard form elements, styled to work across major browsers. Check the example html file for a list of classes associated with forms.

Fully configurable.

The _base.scss file allows you to override virtually any variable without having to touch the core code.

Installation

Install Gluhu in a new compass project

sudo gem install gluhu

Create a new compass project using gluhu

compass create my_project -r gluhu --using gluhu

Relative assets must be set to true in config.rb in order for icon fonts to display. You may need to restart compass for this change to work.

# To enable relative paths to assets via compass helper functions. Uncomment:
relative_assets = true

Existing compass project.

Install gluhu

gem install gluhu

Open config.rb and require gluhu

require 'compass/import-once/activate'

# Require any additional compass plugins here.

require "gluhu"

Relative assets must be set to true in config.rb in order for icon fonts to display. You may need to restart compass for this change to work.

# To enable relative paths to assets via compass helper functions. Uncomment:
relative_assets = true

Then run

compass install gluhu

Installing jQuery

Some aspects of gluhu rely on jQuery. There are a number ways to include it. I won't go over all of them. One option is to use bower to manage dependcies. Bower relies on node.js. You need to install this before following these steps.

First install bower globally.

npm install -g bower

Next. Install jquery in your projects directory.

bower install jquery

---

Add the gluhu stylesheet, jQuery and toggle.js files to gluhu-example.html otherwise it won't work. Use gluhu-example.html to get a feel for the framework and see how it works.
