How can I have Ruby on Rails output Bootstrap v3 scaffolding?
ruby-on-rails, ruby-on-rails-4, sass, scaffolding, twitter-bootstrap
Solution
I've had the same trouble but finally found this: https://github.com/decioferreira/bootstrap-generators
It includes Bootstrap 3.1 and provides scaffolding and you can choose haml and scss as well as other options.
For example when I did `rails g scaffold Link guid:string profile:string media_url:string`
It automatically produced this:
EDIT FOR HEROKU USERS
I did have trouble pushing my app that is using bootstrap-generators (v3.1.1) to Heroku. Heroku was giving the error `File to import not found or unreadable: bootstrap.scss`
The fix turned out to be to modify the automatically generated bootstrap-generators.scss file. Change `@import "bootstrap.scss";` to `@import "bootstrap";` (eg just remove the extension).
NEW EDIT FOR HEROKU USERS The new gem 3.1.1.1 fixes the bug. You no longer need to change `@import "bootstrap.scss";` to `@import "bootstrap";` in the bootstrap-geneerators.scss file.
Problem
I'd like to be able to use `Bootstrap 3` and `Sass` in my `RoR` project and have the scaffolding generator output `Bootstrap 3` HTML. I'm using Ruby 2 with Rails 4. Nothing too fancy - mostly just having the forms buttons have the appropriate CSS classes. I've used the Rails Tutorial Sample App (ver 4) as a base which includes the `bootstrap-sass` gem - but when I use the generator the HTML does not have the proper bootstrap classes - for instance the buttons don't have the `btn btn-default` class. I realize that the scaffolding is behaving as it was designed to, it is a base and is meant to be customized (or replaced) - but it seems like it should not be hard to also have the generated HTML be "Bootstrap Ready" A related question had an answer where someone mentioned that editing the files in the directory `lib/erb/scaffold` like `edit.html.erb` - would override the default templates that Rails uses for scaffolding. I'm not opposed to that but I was hoping that there might be a something like a `gem` that already did this. I like using the `bootstrap-sass` gem and I hope that there is a solution that would be compatible with it - I'd rather use `scss` than `less` Seems like there should be several gems to do this.
