tt_sass 0.2.1

Installation and Configuration

You can install this using pip like this:

pip install tt_sass

Once installed, you need to add it to your INSTALLED_APPS. You can do that however you like or you can copy-and-paste this in after your INSTALLED_APPS are defined.

INSTALLED_APPS += ['tt_sass', ]

tt_sass relies on django-staticfiles in order to work. You must run the collectstatic command inside your project like this:

python manage.py collectstatic --link

Remember, you must re-run this command any time you add new staticfiles.

Now you’re ready to start using tt_sass.

Usage

You can use this inside your Sass by adding the following:

@import "tt_sass/texastribune"

Once you’ve done that, you need to compile your Sass. Assuming you’re using the default Texas Tribune setup of having a static directory at your project root, you should run the following:

sass --load-path=static/ --watch --poll --compass static

This command setups up the path correctly for all of your code and watches the file for changes.

<div class="grid">
    <div class="cell w-8"></div>
    <div class="cell w-4"></div>
</div>

p
    +breakpoint(mobile)
        font-size: 1.2em
    +breakpoint(tablet)
        font-size: 1.1em
    +breakpoint(classic)
        font-size: 1.0em

div
    +breakpoint("max-width: 500px")
        background-color: red

Examples

All of these are being documented in the example/ Django project. See that directory for instructions on how to run that project.

Contributing

This project is released in hopes that it helps people understand how you might build your own Sass framework for use in the context of a Django project. As such, contributions from those outside the Texas Tribune probably won’t be accepted.
