You might as well learn it now, because you'll be using it in 6 months. Styleguide rails is a cool gem that builds a living, breathing styleguide for your site. You can add it to your project really easily (let's just do it right now):

OR edit your Gemfile:

gem 'styleguide_rails'

and then bundle.

Lastly, you install the styleguide into your application:

rails generate styleguide:install

start rails and navigate to http://localhost:3000/styleguide. There should be a built-in _example_elements.html copied into your new app/views/styleguide/widgets/ directory. This is where your new styleguide widgets live (for more on how to use them, see "Using it" below). ...continue reading
