Grater

CSS grids as easy to use as a cheese grater. Read the philosphy behind this super simple grid system here.

Simply download grater.css to get started. You can also install it as a gem if you are using Rails 3.1 or higher with the asset pipeline (see below).

Usage

Simply structure some HTML like this:

<div class="grater">
  <div>
    <p>This is on the left or on top when things get narrow.</p>
  </div>
  <div>
    <p>This is on the right or on the bottom when things get narrow.</p>
  </div>
</div>

You can also use the reverse version:

<div class="grater reverse">
  <div>
    <p>This is on the right or on top when things get narrow.</p>
  </div>
  <div>
    <p>This is on the left or on the bottom when things get narrow.</p>
  </div>
</div>

Important: div.grater is intended to be enclosed in a 640px or 300px container. You can optionally add <div class="grater-container"> around it to get this functionality.

Asset Pipeline

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'grater'

And then execute:

$ bundle

You may need to run bundle update since Rails comes with sass-rails which uses an older version of the Sass gem.

Now, simply require grater like you would any other stylesheet using the Asset Pipeline.
