Tips, Code and Tutorials
Important sections to read noted with asterisk (*)
IMPORTANT PREFACE *
On websitesusingSASS2
,donotunderanycircumstanceseditthe .cssfiles.Addall new csstothe
existingSASS files.
Transferring SASS to CSS
Setting up SASS (One Time Setup)
1. Step1 http://rubyonrails.org/ (Install rubyandsassinside mybit9progfolderbutyouwill also
needa “project”forsass)
a. Addconfig.rbtoprojectwithappropriate data
b. # Require any additional compass plugins here.
# Set this to the root of your project when deployed:
http_path = "/"
css_dir = "stylesheets"
sass_dir = "sass"
images_dir = "stylesheets/images"
javascripts_dir = "javascripts"
2 A ListApart (Blog) writes on why to love sass with multipletutorials.

# You can select your preferred output style here (can be overridden via
the command line):
# output_style = :expanded or :nested or :compact or :compressed
output_style = :expanded
# To enable relative paths to assets via compass helper functions.
Uncomment:
relative_assets = true
# To disable debugging comments that display the original location of
your selectors. Uncomment:
# line_comments = false
# If you prefer the indented syntax, you might want to regenerate this
# project again passing --syntax sass, or you can uncomment this:
# preferred_syntax = :sass
# and then run:
# sass-convert -R --from scss --to sass sass scss && rm -rf sass && mv
scss sass
2. Step2 Install Ruby/SassDeveloperToolkit
a. Adddk.rbto projectwithappropriate data.
3. Step3 http://sass-lang.com/
4. Step4 opencommandpromptenter:
a. ONE TIME:
i. Gem install sass
ii. Gem install compass
iii. (optional forsprites) Geminstall lemonade
iv. (optional) Geminstallbourbon (BourbonMixinLibrary)
v. (optional) Geminstallsass-rails
vi. YUI Compressor(Google fordirections:itcompressesCSSandJavaScript – this
can alsobe done withinthe config.rbbutbe careful editingthiswithout
knowingwhatyouare doingandDO NOT COMMIT IT)
vii. Bootstrap(optional butGoogle fordirections –createsan excellent layoutfor
NEW sites)
viii. (great for new sites, adding css, typography defaults and
scaffolding):
@import "compass/css3";
@import "compass/typography";
@import "compass/typography/links";
@import "compass/typography/lists";
@import "compass/layout/grid-background";
@import "compass/layout";
@import "blueprint/scaffolding";
@import "blueprint";
Editing SASS/CSS (Every Time)
1. OpenTerminal (commandprompt)
2. As longas youare workingonyoursass filesyouwill needtoleave terminal openwiththiscode,
if for any reasonyouneedterminal youwillneedtoopenanew one andleave thisone running.

3. EVERY TIME YOUWORK THIS NEEDS DONE:
a. Cd (thenthe locationof yourstylesheetsfolderforme thislookslike:
cd C:bit9progdevworkspacesAPIIAPII_2srcmainwebappresourcesstylesheets
b. compasswatch
c. Leave terminal openandcompasswill dothe rest.Itis now compilingyourchangesand
buildingyoursassfiles.
d. Edita .scssfile
e. Openthe correlating.cssfile,waitforeclipsetopopup file change approval (choose
yes):
FINDING FILES TO EDIT *
You can findthe appropriate sectionstoeditbyvisitingthe .cssfilesandthe file locationandline
numberwill be locatedabove eachitem(example):
/* line 58, ../sass/sprites/_org-icon.scss */
.org-icon-sprite, .org-icon-org-icon-small, .org-icon-org-icon, .org-icon-org-logo-hp
{
background: url('images/org-icon-sf0648c224e.png') no-repeat;
}
In the above example the file locationisinsidethe sassfolderabove the existingfolderwhere youfound
the css. The file thatthe itemyouwishto editisconsideredapartial.
WHAT IS A PARTIAL? *
A sasspartial is notatedwithaspace “_” before the name of the file.
A partial file isfora groupof similarcss,butis exportedwiththe entireCSSorimportedintomultiple
css. To importa partial a code needstobe addedat the top of the file:
@import "partials/fonts"; //* _fonts.scss must remain at top after colors */
@import "partials/buttons";

The above code impliesthattwofilesare beingimportedtothe topof yourcss. These filesare located
withinthe same folderasyourmainscss withinanotherfoldercalledpartials.
SASS COMMENTS *
Commentscanbe made inthe same way youwouldnormallycommentonacss file.
Add yournoteswithin /* Comment*/. Thiswill addthe commenttoyour scss (sassfile) and
will be transferredtoyour.cssfile.
If you wouldlike the commentnottotransfertoyour .css file andonlyappearonyour sassfile
add to lines //* Comment*/ .
MIXINS
Mixins3
are the Sass equivalentof macrosinotherprogramminglanguages. MixinsandSassFunctions
4
are bothblocksof code that youdefine once andcanthenre-use anywhere.
The difference isthatamixiniscalledwith@include andinjectsitscontentswheneverit’scalled,while
a functioniscalledwithoutanyspecial keywordandreturnsavalue. Compassisa libraryof mixinsfor
SASS,andit includessome veryuseful stuff like border-radiusandbox-shadow.Butof course,youcan
alsodefine yourownmixinsandfunctions.Sohere are a couple useful onesthatIre-use onevery
project.
 (Useful SASSMixins)
Exhibit A: Mixin
The following mixin can accept arguments and do calculations. The output of this mixin (in this
case) is a CSS rule and will be unfurled where ever you @include it.
@mixinmy-padding-mixin($some-number) {
padding:$some-number;
}
Now we use the @include directive to insert our mixin’s code.
.my-module {
@include my-padding-mixin(10px);
3 If you’ve programmed before you could think of them as functions,procedures,or methods, but they aren’t
technically any of these concepts because their function is to generate code at compiletime not execute code at
run time.
4 Use functions when you need to calculate a value that may be reused somewhere else. target / context
= result 650px / 1000px = 65%

}
And here is the output CSS code.
.my-module {
padding:10px;
}
Exhibit B: Function
A function is very similar to a mixin, however the output from a function is a single value. This
can be any Sass data type, including: numbers, strings, colors, booleans, or lists.
The following function can accept 2 arguements, $some-number and $another-number .
The value returned are those two variables added together.
@function my-calculation-function($some-number, $another-number){
@return $some-number + $another-number
}
This time around we replace the common value of the padding property with what a snippet
of SassScript to call our function, pass it the arguments and include in our output CSS code.
.my-module {
padding:my-calculation-function(10px, 5px);
}
And here is the output CSS code.
.my-module {
padding:15px;
}

Breadcrumbs
Breadcrumbsor breadcrumb trail isa navigationaidusedinuserinterfaces.Itallowsuserstokeeptrack
of theirlocationswithinprogramsordocuments.The termcomesfromthe trail of breadcrumbsleftby
Hansel andGretel inthe popularfairytale. –Wikipedia
Breadcrumbs typically appear horizontally across the top of a web page, often below title bars or
headers. They provide links back to each previous page the user navigated through to get to the current
page or—in hierarchical site structures—the parent pages of the current one. Breadcrumbs provide a trail
for the user to follow back to the starting or entry point. A greater-than sign (>) often serves as hierarchy
separator, although designers may use other glyphs (such as » or ›), as well as various graphical
treatments. --wikipedia
Typical breadcrumbs look like this:
Home page > Sectionpage > Subsectionpage
or
Home page : Sectionpage : Subsectionpage
or
home page : section page 1 : sectionpage 2

COLOR CODING SASS IN ECLIPSE
You need to associate the .scss file type with the native Eclipse CSS Editor in Eclipse [Part 1]. After you
do that, you need to add the .scss file type to the native CSS Editor as well so the CSS Editor will be able
to open it [Part 2]. Here are the steps for eclipse (I’m running Eclipse Java EE IDE for Web Developers,
Indigo):
———- [Part 1] ———-
1. Go to Window –> Preferences
2. Drill down to General –> Editors –> File Associations
3. In File Associations pane, click the ‘Add…” button on the top right.
4. For “File Type:”, enter *.scss and then click OK.
5. Find the *.scss entry in the File Associations list and select it.
6. After selecting *.scss, on the bottom pane “Associated editors:”, click the “Add…” button.
7. Make sure “Internal editors” is selected on the top, then find and select “CSS Editor” and then
click OK.
This associated the file type .scss with eclipses native CSS Editor. Now we have to configure the
native CSS Editor to support .scss files. To do this, follow this steps:
———- [Part 2] ———-
1. Go to Window –> Preferences
2. Drill down to General –> Content Types
3. In the Content Types pane, expand “Text”, then select “CSS”.
4. After “CSS” is selected, on the bottom “File associations:” pane, click the “Add…” button.
5. For “Content type:”, enter *.scss and then click OK.
6. Click OK to close out the Preferences window.
All done. All you need to do now is close any .scss files that you have open then re-open them
and wha-la, css colors in Eclipse for .scss files!
Hope this helps. – http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7614612/is-there-an-eclipse-editor-for-
