Getting started for developers

Compass is an independent framework of static front-end assets (CSS, HTML, JS) that you can used for a variety of applications.

Static websites and web applications

You can use Compass to build static websites or web applications.

Compass is available in a core repository that developers can access to get started.

You have two options to use the repository:

  • NPM dependency: Install Compass as an NPM dependency to use only the components you need.
  • Clone the repository: Clone the entire repo if you prefer a simple static website generator.

For more details on using the core repo, refer to the readme file in the core repository.
