This package is a distribution of [Dart Sass][], compiled to pure JavaScript
|
|
with no native code or external dependencies. It provides a command-line `sass`
|
|
executable and a Node.js API.

|
## Usage
|
|
|
|
You can install Sass globally using `npm install -g sass` which will provide
|
|
access to the `sass` executable. You can also add it to your project using
|
|
`npm install --save-dev sass`. This provides the executable as well as a
|
|
library:
|
|
|
|
[npm]: https://www.npmjs.com/package/sass
|
|
|
|
```js
|
|
const sass = require('sass');
|
|
|
|
const result = sass.compile(scssFilename);
|
|
|
|
// OR
|
|
|
|
// Note that `compileAsync()` is substantially slower than `compile()`.
|
|
const result = await sass.compileAsync(scssFilename);
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See [the Sass website][js api] for full API documentation.

|
|
### Legacy API
|
|
|
|
Dart Sass also supports an older JavaScript API that's fully compatible with
|
|
[Node Sass] (with a few exceptions listed below), with support for both the
|
|
[`render()`] and [`renderSync()`] functions. This API is considered deprecated
|
|
and will be removed in Dart Sass 2.0.0, so it should be avoided in new projects.
|
|
|
|
[Node Sass]: https://github.com/sass/node-sass
|
|
[`render()`]: https://sass-lang.com/documentation/js-api/functions/render
|
|
[`renderSync()`]: https://sass-lang.com/documentation/js-api/functions/renderSync
|
|
|
|
Sass's support for the legacy JavaScript API has the following limitations:
|
|
|
|
* Only the `"expanded"` and `"compressed"` values of [`outputStyle`] are
|
|
supported.
|
|
|
|
* Dart Sass doesn't support the [`precision`] option. Dart Sass defaults to a
|
|
sufficiently high precision for all existing browsers, and making this
|
|
customizable would make the code substantially less efficient.
|
|
|
|
* Dart Sass doesn't support the [`sourceComments`] option. Source maps are the
|
|
recommended way of locating the origin of generated selectors.
|

## See Also
|
|
|
|
* [Dart Sass][], from which this package is compiled, can be used either as a
|
|
stand-alone executable or as a Dart library. Running Dart Sass on the Dart VM
|
|
is substantially faster than running the pure JavaScript version, so this may
|
|
be appropriate for performance-sensitive applications. The Dart API is also
|
|
(currently) more user-friendly than the JavaScript API. See
|
|
[the Dart Sass README][Using Dart Sass] for details on how to use it.
|
|
|
|
* [Node Sass][], which is a wrapper around [LibSass][], the C++ implementation
|
|
of Sass. Node Sass supports the same API as this package and is also faster
|
|
(although it's usually a little slower than Dart Sass). However, it requires a
|
|
native library which may be difficult to install, and it's generally slower to
|
|
add features and fix bugs.

## Behavioral Differences from Ruby Sass
|
|
|
|
There are a few intentional behavioral differences between Dart Sass and Ruby
|
|
Sass. These are generally places where Ruby Sass has an undesired behavior, and
|
|
it's substantially easier to implement the correct behavior than it would be to
|
|
implement compatible behavior. These should all have tracking bugs against Ruby
|
|
Sass to update the reference behavior.
|
|
|
|
1. `@extend` only accepts simple selectors, as does the second argument of
|
|
`selector-extend()`. See [issue 1599][].
|
|
|
|
2. Subject selectors are not supported. See [issue 1126][].
|
|
|
|
3. Pseudo selector arguments are parsed as `<declaration-value>`s rather than
|
|
having a more limited custom parsing. See [issue 2120][].
|
|
|
|
4. The numeric precision is set to 10. See [issue 1122][].
|
|
|
|
5. The indented syntax parser is more flexible: it doesn't require consistent
|
|
indentation across the whole document. See [issue 2176][].
|
|
|
|
6. Colors do not support channel-by-channel arithmetic. See [issue 2144][].
|
|
|
|
7. Unitless numbers aren't `==` to unit numbers with the same value. In
|
|
addition, map keys follow the same logic as `==`-equality. See
|
|
[issue 1496][].
|
|
|
|
8. `rgba()` and `hsla()` alpha values with percentage units are interpreted as
|
|
percentages. Other units are forbidden. See [issue 1525][].
|
|
|
|
9. Too many variable arguments passed to a function is an error. See
|
|
[issue 1408][].
|
|
|
|
10. Allow `@extend` to reach outside a media query if there's an identical
|
|
`@extend` defined outside that query. This isn't tracked explicitly, because
|
|
it'll be irrelevant when [issue 1050][] is fixed.
|
|
|
|
11. Some selector pseudos containing placeholder selectors will be compiled
|
|
where they wouldn't be in Ruby Sass. This better matches the semantics of
|
|
the selectors in question, and is more efficient. See [issue 2228][].
|
|
|
|
12. The old-style `:property value` syntax is not supported in the indented
|
|
syntax. See [issue 2245][].
|
|
|
|
13. The reference combinator is not supported. See [issue 303][].
|
|
|
|
14. Universal selector unification is symmetrical. See [issue 2247][].
|
|
|
|
15. `@extend` doesn't produce an error if it matches but fails to unify. See
|
|
[issue 2250][].
|
|
|
|
16. Dart Sass currently only supports UTF-8 documents. We'd like to support
|
|
more, but Dart currently doesn't support them. See [dart-lang/sdk#11744][],
|
|
for example.
