TurboSass is a vast collection of SCSS mixins for maximum productivitiy and minimal development time.

The mixins are divided in the following categories:

• CSS3 helpers, doing proper handling of all currently supported vendor prefixes.

• A grid system loosely based on 960.gs but using a configurable gutter width, amount of columns and column width.

• A web font wrapper using the bulletproof font syntax.

• The HTML5 Boilerplate reset CSS.

• Various other utilities, such as sticky footer, clearfix, image replacement and selection color.

To install TurboSass, just do:

gem install turbosass

and then you're ready to go.

To use TurboSass in Rails 3 all you have to do is add the following line to your Gemfile:

gem 'turbosass', '>= 0.2.0'

To make TurboSass work correctly you have to comment out the haml gem in your Gemfile. TurboSass automatically loads it for you.

If you want to make use of other gems that utilize either Haml or Sass (such as haml-rails) you have to add these gems after the TurboSass gem definition.

TurboSass was built mainly for use in Sinatra applications, so using it here is really simple.

All you have to do is require "turbosass" in either your config.ru file or your main application file. Then you can use @import "turbosass"; in any SCSS file where you want to use TurboSass.

See the examples/sinatra directory for a fully working example.

You can find the SCSS files that are used by TurboSass in the lib/turbosass/scss directory. Just copy these to wherever you like, just make sure to keep the directory structure intact. Then you can import the turbosass SCSS file to use the mixins.

You can also compile an SCSS file with TurboSass from the command line. For this you can use the turbosass binary. This is a wrapper around the original Sass command line tool, but it ensures that the TurboSass files are in the include path. This saves you the hassle of typing in the exact path every time.

All the SCSS mixins are documented with comments. To get an overview of these comments in HTML format you can execute rake rocco in the gem directory. This generates a doc directory with annotated source files.

Do note that in order to do this you need the Git version (or any version after 1.5) of Rocco because version 1.5 and below have unicode bugs which cause documentation to fail on files having the @font-face smiley trick.
