Example Layout

Using Sass 3.2 block mixins, Neat makes it extremely easy to build responsive layouts. The breakpoint() mixin allows you to change the total number of columns in the grid for each media query. You can store these values in project-wide variables to DRY up your code: $mobile: max-width 480px 4;

When used as a breakpoint() argument, $mobile instructs Neat to use a 4 column grid in mobile-size viewports: .my-class { @ include breakpoint($mobile) { @ include span-columns(2) …

About Mixins

Before going into the disadvantages of Mixins as a method of code organization, it's important to understand their intended use in Ruby and other languages. Mixins are intended to provide a mechanism for multiple inheritance without some of the complexity that this brings into a programming language. The notion of mixins isn't new in Ruby, and the idea of using groups of related methods that are injected into a class was widely discussed before Matz starting …
