Getting Started

To use Skeleton Sass, you’ll need the following dependencies:

• normalize-scss is also required.

To install Skeleton Sass as a node module, simply run:

yarn add skeleton-sass-official normalize-scss --dev

Another option is to clone the repository and build from the source:

cd path/to/my_dir
git clone https://github.com/atomicpages/skeleton-sass.git

Now, create a blank file for your main Sass file:

touch skeleton.scss

Open your skeleton.scss in your text editor and add the following lines:

@import "path/to/node_modules/normalize-scss/sass/normalize"; 
@import "path/to/node_modules/skeleton-sass-official/src/core/config"; 
@import "path/to/node_modules/skeleton-sass-official/src/themes/fresh/vars"; 
@import "path/to/node_modules/skeleton-sass-official/src/themes/fresh/include_components"; 
@import "path/to/node_modules/skeleton-sass-official/src/themes/fresh/grid";

Finally, let’s build your styles:

npx sass skeleton.scss skeleton.css

Understanding Skeleton Sass with an Analogy

Think of Skeleton Sass as a well-organized toolbox for web developers. In this toolbox:

• The grids are like a series of adjustable shelf spaces for organizing your tools. You can easily modify how much space each tool takes up, simply by changing the values in your grid settings.
• The themes act like different colored tool handles. You can customize them based on your needs while keeping the underlying tools (or components) consistent.
• And the mixins and functions? They’re your trusty multi-tools that allow you to perform multiple tasks efficiently without weighing down your toolbox, allowing you to quickly implement styles.

In summary, Skeleton Sass provides the flexibility and functionality to make your web development process smoother and more efficient!
