Html5 for Rails

Html5 for Rails projects based on Html5 Boilerplate by Paul Irish, Divya Manian and many other fine folks.

Installation

1. In your Gemfile

group :assets do
  gem 'sass-rails'
  gem 'coffee-rails'
  gem 'uglifier'

  gem 'compass-h5bp'
end

gem 'jquery-rails'
gem 'html5-rails'

# Optional: to generate haml
# gem 'haml-rails'

# Optional: to generate slim
# gem 'slim-rails'

2. Install your bundle

$ bundle install

3. Run the generator

$ rails generate html5:install

(Here's what it does)

  create  config/compass.rb
  create  config/html5_rails.yml

  create  app/views/application
  create  app/views/application/_footer.html.(erb|haml|slim)

  create  app/views/application/_header.html.(erb|haml|slim)
  create  app/views/application/_chromeframe.html.(erb|haml|slim)
   exist  app/assets/javascripts
  insert  app/assets/javascripts/application.js
    gsub  app/assets/javascripts/application.js
  create  app/assets/javascripts/polyfills.js
  remove  app/assets/stylesheets/application.css
  create  app/assets/stylesheets/application
  create  app/assets/stylesheets/application/index.css.scss
  create  app/assets/stylesheets/application/variables.css.scss
  create  app/assets/stylesheets/application/layout.css.scss
  create  app/assets/stylesheets/application/media_queries.css.scss

Google Analytics

By default your Google Analytics code snippet will be hidden until you set your Google Account ID. You can do this by either setting ENV['GOOGLE_ACCOUNT_ID'] or google_account_id in config/html5_rails.yml.

Notes

[1] The compass-h5bp gem is not a runtime dependency, but it does need to be included in your assets group for development and asset precompiling to work.

[2] If you use --template-engine=haml (or haml-rails gem), the install generator will prompt to remove your application.html.erb layout so that application.html.haml will be used instead.

[3] For the time being, you will want to add the following line to config/production.rb so that polyfills are precompiled on deploy:

config.assets.precompile += %w( polyfills.js )
