Stylus mixins, utilities, components, and gradient image generation. Don't forget to check out the documentation.
Installation
$ npm install nib
If the image generation features of Nib are desired, such as generating the linear gradient images, install node-canvas:
$ npm install canvas
JavaScript API
Below is an example of how to utilize nib and stylus with the connect framework (or express).
var connect = require('connect') , stylus = require('stylus') , nib = require('nib'); var server = connect(); function compile(str, path) { return stylus(str) .set('filename', path) .set('compress', true) .use(nib()); } server.use(stylus.middleware({ src: __dirname , compile: compile }));
Stylus API
To gain access to everything nib has to offer, simply add:
@import 'nib'
Or you may also pick and choose based on the directory structure in ./lib, for example:
@import 'nib/gradients' @import 'nib/overflow' @import 'nib/normalize'
