Twitter Bootstrap for Rails 3.1 Asset Pipeline

Bootstrap is a toolkit from Twitter designed to kickstart development of webapps and sites. It includes base CSS and HTML for typography, forms, buttons, tables, grids, navigation, and more.

twitter-bootstrap-rails project integrates Bootstrap CSS toolkit for Rails 3.1 Asset Pipeline

Installing Gem

Include Bootstrap in Gemfile;

gem 'twitter-bootstrap-rails'

or you can install from latest build;

gem 'twitter-bootstrap-rails', :git => 'http://github.com/seyhunak/twitter-bootstrap-rails.git'

You can run bundle from command line

bundle install

Using with Less

Bootstrap was built with Preboot, an open-source pack of mixins and variables to be used in conjunction with Less, a CSS preprocessor for faster and easier web development.

Installing Less

Include Less in Gemfile;

gem 'less'

Include less-rails in Gemfile;

gem 'less-rails', :git => 'git://github.com/metaskills/less-rails.git'

Using stylesheets with Less

You have to require Bootstrap LESS (bootstrap.less) in your application.css

/*
 *= require bootstrap
*/

/* Your stylesheets goes here... */

Now, you can override LESS files provided by Twitter Bootstrap

 @import "bootstrap";
 
 // Baseline grid
 @basefont:          13px;
 @baseline:          18px;

Using javascripts

You have to require Bootstrap JS (bootstrap.js) in your application.js

//= require bootstrap

$(document).ready(function(){
  /* Your javascripts goes here... */
});

Using with coffeescript

Using Twitter Bootstrap with the CoffeeScript is easy. Just create a application.js.coffee file to /app/assets/javascripts/ folder and put lines below.

$ ->
  $("body > .topbar").scrollSpy()
$ ->
  $(".tabs").tabs()
$ ->
  $("a[rel=twipsy]").twipsy live: true
$ ->
  $("a[rel=popover]").popover offset: 10
$ ->
  $(".topbar-wrapper").dropdown()
$ ->
  $(".alert-message").alert()
$ ->
  domModal = $(".modal").modal(
	backdrop: true
	closeOnEscape: true
  )
  $(".open-modal").click ->
	domModal.toggle()
