bootstrap-sass vs pure twitter bootstrap

Question

I know that Twitter Bootstrap may be customized while downloading it from Bootstrap website. How about bootstrap-sass gem - does it always include all the features?

Answer 1

If you take a look at the documentation, you'll see that you have the option of including all of the js, or only the scripts you want using #= require in your js/coffee files.

Same applies to stylesheets, you can use @import to only include the files you want. You can look at the files architecture here:

The gem is actually an engine, it basically just adds assets, the same way the jquery-rails gem adds jquery and you can use it as if you had a jquery.js file in your vendor/assets/javascripts folder.
