A lightweight and flexible Sass grid

Note: This project is no longer maintained. We favor and encourage people to use native CSS features like Grid and Flexbox. Float-based grid frameworks like Neat are no longer necessary.

Neat is a fluid grid framework with the aim of being easy enough to use out of the box and flexible enough to customize down the road.

Requirements

Sass 3.4+ or LibSass 3.3+

Installation

Install the Neat gem using the RubyGems package manager:
```
gem install neat
```
Install or update Neat’s dependencies:
```
gem install sass # or gem update sass
```
Pro Tip: You can target installation into a specific directory using the path flag:
```
neat install --path my/custom/path/
```
Install the Neat library into the current directory:
```
neat install
```
Import Neat in your stylesheet:
```
@import "neat/neat";
```
It’s not recommended to add or modify the Neat files so that you can update them easily.

Installation for Ruby on Rails 4.2+

Add Neat to your Gemfile:
```
gem "neat"
```
Then run:
```
bundle install
```
If you see the error Bundler could not find compatible versions for gem "sass", run:
```
bundle update sass
```
Import Neat in your application.scss:
```
@import "neat";
```
It should be noted that @import rules are not compatible with Sprockets directives. You need to use one or the other.

Installing with npm and using a Node-based asset pipeline

Add Neat as a dependency:
```
npm install --save bourbon-neat
```
If you’re using eyeglass, skip to Step 3. Otherwise, you’ll need to add Neat to your node-sass includePaths option. require("bourbon-neat").includePaths is an array of directories that you should pass to node-sass. How you do this depends on how node-sass is integrated into your project.
Import Neat into your Sass files:
```
@import "neat";
```

Installing older versions of Neat

Uninstall any Neat gem versions you already have:
```
gem uninstall neat
```
Reinstall the Neat gem, using the -v flag to specify the version you need:
```
gem install neat -v 1.8.1
```
Follow the instructions above to install Neat into your project.
