Installing Gem
Include ElastiCSS in Gemfile;
gem "elasticss-rails"
or you can install from latest build;
gem 'elasticss-rails', :git => 'git@github.com:kurenn/elasticss-rails.git'

bundle install
To add the elasticss CSS and JS assets
You can run the generator command
rails g elasticss:install
Or you can add them manually:
Add elasticss CSS assets
Add to your app/assets/stylesheets/application.css
*= require elastic
If you need to add the print support you can add it as well
*= require elastic.print
Add elasticss JS assets
Add to your app/assets/javascripts/application.js
//= require elastic
Layout generators
Layout (generates ElastiCSS layout) - (ERB and HAML supported):
You need to first add the haml-rails to the gemfile:
gem 'haml-rails'
And last but not least if you want HAML to be your default template engine you need to change your config/application.rb file as shown:
config.generators do |generator|
generator.template_engine :haml
end

rails g elasticss:layout [LAYOUT_NAME] [LAYOUT_TYPE]
