Welcome to cssDir2

cssDir2 is a simple ruby script for compass to copy the generated css file to a different location.

How to install?

  1. Install Compass
    $ gem update --system
    $ gem install compass
  2. Install cssDir2
    $ gem install cssDir2
  3. Require it in your config.rb
    require 'cssDir2'
  4. That's it!

How to use it?

Open up your config.rb and create a variable where you specify the path to the location where you want cssDir2 to copy the generated css file to based on the location of your sass file.

css_dir2 = "../path/to/directory"

When the specified directory doesn't exist, cssDir2 will create it.
Now call cssDir2 and start watching your project with Compass!

CssDir2.new(css_dir, css_dir2)

You could also skip the creation of a variable and pass in the path directly into the 2nd argument.

CssDir2.new(css_dir, "../path/to/directory")

An example config.rb file would look like the following:

# Require any additional compass plugins here.

# Set this to the root of your project when deployed:
http_path = "/"
css_dir = "stylesheets"
sass_dir = "sass"
images_dir = "images"
javascripts_dir = "javascripts"

# You can select your preferred output style here (can be overridden via the command line):
# output_style = :expanded or :nested or :compact or :compressed

# To enable relative paths to assets via compass helper functions. Uncomment:
# relative_assets = true

# To disable debugging comments that display the original location of your selectors. Uncomment:
# line_comments = false


# If you prefer the indented syntax, you might want to regenerate this
# project again passing --syntax sass, or you can uncomment this:
# preferred_syntax = :sass
# and then run:
# sass-convert -R --from scss --to sass sass scss && rm -rf sass && mv scss sass

# cssDir2
require 'cssDir2'

css_dir2 = "../css"

CssDir2.new(css_dir, css_dir2)
