Laravel 4 zurb foundation 4.x helper
====================================

[](#laravel-4-zurb-foundation-4x-helper)

This package does not include the framework. It requires the official framework composer package from zurb and provides command line tools to setup foundation for development with laravel and compass.

------------

[](#installation)

Begin by installing this package through Composer. Edit your project's `composer.json` file to require `aheissenberger/foundation`

```
"require": {
    "laravel/framework": "4.0.*",
    "aheissenberger/foundation": "dev-master"
}

```

Next, update Composer from Terminal

```
$ composer update

```

Once this operation completes, the final step is to add the service provider. Open `app/config/app.php`, and add a new item to the providers array.

```
'Aheissenberger\Foundation\FoundationServiceProvider',

```

```
app/assets
	/sass

	/js
	/img

```

Run `$ php artisan asset:publish aheissenberger/foundation` to copy all needed Javascripts to `/public`
