# tachyonscss-rails - Use Tachyons in a Rails App without NPM Modules

Rails 7 has brought the Asset Pipeline back into the spotlight, which means that bundling CSS without NPM requires gems.  This

gem allows you to use [Tachyons](https://tachyons.io) without having to set up a JS bundler in your Rails 7 app.

## Install

Add to your `Gemfile`:

```ruby

gem "tachyonscss-rails"

```

then `bundle install`

## Use

The most common way to use this is:

1. Ensure you have `sassc-rails` in your `Gemfile`

1. Ensure your `app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss` file is, in fact, a `.scss` file and not `.css`.  If you haven't put anything in it, you can rename it safely.

1. Add to `app/assets/stylesheets/applicationscss`:

   ```scss

   @import "tachyons";

   ```

1. If you want to customize Tachyons, [the variables partial](https://github.com/tachyons-css/tachyons-sass/blob/master/scss/_variables.scss) is a guide to what you can modify.  To do that, create the file `app/assets/stylesheets/tachyons-overrides.scss` (or whatever name you like).  For example, you could change the green skin like so:

   ```scss

   $green: 00ff00;

   ```

   Then add it *before* the tachyons `@import` in `app/assets/stylesheets/application.scss:

   ```scss

   @import "tachyons-overrides";

   @import "tachyons";

   ```

Basically, this gem makes it so you can `@import "tachyons";` and it will build the CSS file from the contents of the

[tachyons-sass](https://github.com/tachyons-css/tachyons-sass) module that this gem wraps.

## Versions

The version of this gem matches the version of tachyons it bundles, except that it's possible for this gem to bundle

an unreleased version of Tachyons.  In that case, the gem will use a fourth number, for example `4.9.0.1` would

indicate that this is the first release beyond `4.9.0` to include Tachyons code added to its main branch since `4.9.0`

was released.
