sass-monitor

Summary

sass-monitor is a wrapper for the node_sass module adding the functionality to compile named directories of SASS files.

It can be run standalone or as a Grunt task.

Be sure to run $ npm install before use.

Testing

1. In the root of the package run:

   $ node sass-monitor

2. Edit the ./test/css_src/test.scss file

3. You should now see:

   a) A log entry in the terminal: 'File changed : test/css_src/test.scss' b) The ./test/css_output/test.css file with your compiled changes.

Standalone

1. Edit config.js to suit path requirements.

2. At the command prompt run:

   $ node sassMonitor

NOTE: As above the imports will be relative ..

Grunt usage

module.exports = function(grunt) {

// Project configuration.
grunt.initConfig({
	sassMonitor: {
		staticBuild: {
			srcDir: 'css_src',
			destDir: '../developmentPath/static/css',
			includePaths: ['environments/static/','css_src/'],
			debug: true
		},
		production: {
			srcDir: 'css_src',
			destDir: '../productionPath/static/css',
			includePaths: ['environments/prod/','css_src/'],
			debug: true
		},
	},
	watch: {
		css: {
			files: '../css_src/**/*.scss',
			tasks: 'sassMonitor'
		}
	}
});

grunt.loadNpmTasks('sass-monitor');

// Default task.
grunt.registerTask('default', 'watch');

};

NOTE: Partial imports are relative to the grunt installation folder so for the above example it would be @import '../css_src/common';
