How to use Yeoman with Bourbon rather than Compass?

Question

How would I go about setting up Yeoman + Grunt.js to compile Sass without Compass? I'd like to use thoughtbot's Bourbon rather than Compass. Would I need to create a custom generator for this or is it a matter of passing a flag to the already existing Yeoman generators?

Answer 1

In your directory:

1. npm uninstall grunt-contrib-compass --save-dev (removes compass from node_modules and package.json)
2. npm install grunt-contrib-sass --save-dev (adds sass to node_modules and package.json)

Open up Gruntfile.js

1. In the watch task (around line 22) change "compass" to "scripts"
2. Change the compass task (around line 109) to "sass" then format according to the grunt-contrib-sass docs. My gruntfile gruntfile.js gist.
3. Run a find and replace "compass" to "sass"
4. Install Bourbon

Answer 2

You can just switch out the grunt-contrib-compass task with grunt-contrib-sass and then follow the Bourbon install instructions.
