  1. POrails + compass: advantages vs using haml + blueprint directly
    primarykey

    text
    <p>I've got some experience using haml (+sass) on rails projects. I recently started using them with blueprintcss - the only thing I did was transform blueprint.css into a sass file, and started coding from there. I even have a <a href="http://github.com/splendeo/splendeo-generators" rel="noreferrer">rails generator</a> that includes all this by default.</p> <p>It seems that <a href="http://compass-style.org" rel="noreferrer">Compass</a> does what I do, and other things. I'm trying to understand what those other things are - but the documentation/tutorials weren't very clear.</p> <p>These are my conclusions:</p> <ul> <li>Compass comes with <strong>built-in sass mixins</strong> that implement common CSS idioms, such as links with icons or horizontal lists. My solution doesn't provide anything like that. (1 point for Compass).</li> <li>Compass has several <strong>command-line options</strong>: you can create a rails project, but you can also "install" it on an existing rails project. A rails generator could be personalized to do the same thing, I guess. (Tie).</li> <li>Compass has <strong>two modes</strong> of working with blueprint: "basic" and "semantic" usage. I'm not clear about the differences between those. With my rails generator I only have one mode, but it seems enough. (Tie)</li> <li>Apparently, Compass is prepared to use <strong>other frameworks</strong>, besides blueprint (e.g. YUI). I could not find much documentation about this, and I'm not interested on it anyway - blueprint is ok for me (Tie).</li> <li>Compass' learning curve seems a bit stiff and the documentation seems sparse. Learning could be a bit difficult. On the other hand, I know the ins and outs of my own system and can use it right away. (1 point for my system).</li> </ul> <p>With this analysis, I'm hesitant to give Compass a try.</p> <p>Is my analysis correct? Are Am I missing any key points, or have I evaluated any of these points wrongly?</p>
