rails generate bootstrap layout with bootstrap-sass instead of twitter-bootstrap-rails

Question

I had to choose from bootstrap-sass and twitter-bootstrap-rails and I've opted for the first as per suggestions on the web.

However, I see that twitter-bootstrap-rails gem has some generators for application layout. Like,

rails g bootstrap:layout application fixed
rails g bootstrap:themed Posts

Which I find very good for kick-starting a project. But I don't find similar generators available in the bootstrap-sass gem. Running the command:

rails generate 

doesn't show any generators like the previous ones.

Is there any way to have those layout using bootstrap-sass instead of using twitter-bootstrap-rails?

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I am using this gem, although I am unaware of generators for it.

I found a gem on GitHub which you might find useful:

Alternatiely, you may simply define a new custom.css.scss file and start playing with the css of the whole app. And don't forget to add the bootstrap imports to your files!

There are also these (lesser known but probably worth a try) gems:

https://github.com/thrivesmart/bootscaf

https://github.com/leandroo/flexi_generators

Answer 3

There you can find a good way to generate theme for bootstrap-sass:

Basically you just:

 rails g scaffold Post title:string description:text
 rake db:migrate
 rails g bootstrap:themed Posts
