bower package too please

[dkebler]

Can I talk you into publishing a bower package of your repo as well.

It's as simple as adding a bower.json file to your repo with a "main" designation to the scss file(s) that should be @import-ed and then registering your repo with bower. Once set up it updates automagically with pushes to your github repo. http://bower.io/docs/creating-packages/.

My gulp based workflow is set up to have scss libraries I make use of (like kickstart) as bower packages. I've written code to grab all the scss paths from bower packages and set them to a loadpaths variable for use with node-sass and then off course it's easy to keep all the bower packages up to date with gulp. This works much better for me than sass libraries as npm packages.

The more ways to easily include Kickstart the better no?

Sure. I'll see what I can do. I'd like to actually transition to bower for extensions as well. Git submodules have proven cumbersome. Please hold.

[adamjgrant]

Done. Registered as kickstart_bower. That being said, I have done 0 testing with it.

[dkebler]

Thanks.

You still need to add "main" to bower.json. and too I don't see a single partial that imports the rest that could be your "main"

but......now that I root around in the kickstart/lib-core/sass/ I see that your sass is indented not scss. Rats.. node-sass (libass) can't handle both syntax within a single compile. It's one or the other. I write everything in scss and have been avoiding (maybe great) sass indent libraries for this reason.

So what was just a simple request is now more major, like converting sass to scss. There are converters although I don't know how readable the converted sass would be? I could pipe your sass through npm package sass-convert. https://www.npmjs.com/package/sass-convert but that involves loading ruby-sass, and I specifically have avoided ruby and thus ruby-sass and use the much faster libsass.

I could do a convert, but if you are hooked on indent sytle for the future might be hassle down the road with updates and conversions. If you need some convincing The "God of Sass", Hugo Giraudel, has gone the scss route, http://sass-guidelin.es/#sass-or-scss and http://josephrex.me/moving-from-indented-sass-to-scss/

What to do?

So I was wrong. It turns out the libsass can now automatically parse/compile both scss and indented sass files together as long as they use their respective extensions so there is no need to heed my suggestion of a conversion to scss syntax.

Given that I want to use Kickstart so

I just sent you a PR with a _kickstart.sass file that imports all your core files and then added that to a main entry in the bower.json file. That's what is need to use all your sass core.

---

So now that I can compile it is throwing an error in some files with this. Message: unbound variable $space I will open a separate issue for this

Also I'll need bower access to your concatenated kickstart.js and which means taking out those files from your gitignore.

I'll do a separate issue for that as well to make it easier to track.

Thanks folks. Planning for a wedding at the moment, but I can definitely see the need for this.
