Front-End Formulation

Penned on .

This project contains the blank template of what I use for front-end development projects.

Why formulation? Because I’ve started to dislike the term “boilerplate”, and formulation had a nice ring to it.

Front-End Formulation is based around the SCSS syntax of SASS and Compass for assisting in CSS development, Jammit for JavaScript packaging, and (optionally) HAML for writing markup.

Getting started is as easy as running bundle install to install all necessary gems (see the Gemfile to see what is actually included). Once that’s finished, run guard to begin watching the directory for changes to files handled by compass, jammit, or haml.
