## A lightweight and flexible Sass grid

**Note:** This project is no longer maintained. We favor and encourage people to use
native CSS features like Grid and Flexbox. Float-based grid frameworks like Neat
are no longer necessary.

[Neat] is a fluid grid framework with the aim of being easy enough to
use out of the box and flexible enough to customize down the road.

## Requirements

- [Sass] 3.4+ or [LibSass] 3.3+

[Sass]: https://github.com/sass/sass
[LibSass]: https://github.com/sass/libsass

## Installation

1. Install the Neat gem using the [RubyGems] package manager:

```bash
gem install neat
```

1. Install or update Neat’s dependencies:

```bash
gem install sass # or gem update sass
```

**Pro Tip:** You can target installation into a specific directory using the
`path` flag:

```bash
neat install --path my/custom/path/
```

1. Install the Neat library into the current directory:

```bash
neat install
```

1. Import Neat in your stylesheet:

```scss
@import "neat/neat";
```

It’s not recommended to add or modify the Neat files so that you can update
them easily.

[RubyGems]: https://rubygems.org

### Installation for Ruby on Rails 4.2+

1. Add Neat to your Gemfile:

```ruby
gem "neat"
```

1. Then run:

```bash
bundle install
```

If you see the error `Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem
"sass"`, run:

```bash
bundle update sass
```

1. Import Neat in your `application.scss`:

```scss
@import "neat";
```

It should be noted that `@import` rules are not compatible with Sprockets
directives. You need to use one or the other.

### Installing with npm and using a Node-based asset pipeline

1. Add Neat as a dependency:

```bash
npm install --save bourbon-neat
```

1. If you’re using [eyeglass], skip to Step 3. Otherwise, you’ll need to add
Neat to your node-sass `includePaths` option.
`require("bourbon-neat").includePaths` is an array of directories that you
should pass to node-sass. How you do this depends on how node-sass is
integrated into your project.

1. Import Neat into your Sass files:

```scss
@import "neat";
```

### Installing older versions of Neat

1. Uninstall any Neat gem versions you already have:

```bash
gem uninstall neat
```

1. Reinstall the Neat gem, using the `-v` flag to specify the version you need:

```bash
gem install neat -v 1.8.1
```

1. Follow the [instructions above](#installation) to install Neat into your
project.
