Zurb Foundation Settings as a Rails Asset

Question

Zurb Foundation has a nice feature for letting people configure the entire library, by changing some of the Sass variables, found in the foundation-rails gem. However, I've been using rails-assets and sprockets to load Foundation as a dependency into my styles, but I would still like to configure the Sass varialbes globally. Is there any cut-and-dry way to do this?

Answer 1

Sprockets do something different. They compile each stylesheet individually and only stylesheets that have changed get recompiled. See: http://twin.github.io/speedy-sass-with-import-and-sprockets/

So you should import all your partials into application.css.scss too. Depending on foundation variables are defined with !default you are able to override the variables by putting their definition before the import of the partials.
