Sassy Starter

A starter toolkit based on Scalable and Modular Architecture for CSS (SMACSS) and Atomic Design for Sass (SCSS) projects. Do what you'd like with it :)

Styles are broken down into the following groups: Base, Layout, Atoms, Molecules, Organisms, States, Themes, Utilities and Overrides

Getting Started

1. If needed, install node and npm (Node Package Manager).

• If needed, install gulp with npm install gulp -g.
• Clone this repo with git clone https://github.com/minamarkham/sassy-starter or download the zip.
• In terminal, cd to the folder containing your project. Alternatively, you can type cd and drag the location of the folder into your terminal and hit enter (on Macs).
• In terminal, type npm install. If (and only if) npm install isn't working, try sudo npm install. This should install all dependencies.
• In terminal, enter gulp.
• Your browser should open at http://localhost:3000. You can access this same page on any device on the same wifi network and they'll see whats on your screen. It'll even sync scrolls and clicks!
• Edit your code inside of the src folder.
• Your complied and minified css, html, and javascript files will be created and updated in dist/. Never edit files within the dist/ folder, as it gets deleted frequently.
• Keep gulp running while you're making changes. When you want to stop the gulp task, hit ctrl + C.

For theming: add separate file (theme.scss) insrc/scss/themes/, override the default $theme variable, and run gulp themes.
