dart-sass VS dart_sass

PS: You can use normal sass package today instead of node-sass.

The main sass implementation is in dart https://github.com/sass/dart-sass, which I think is dumb because it's a fair amount slower than the old libsass written in C.

The reason they spouted was due to "Low developer resources" due to the difficulty of C, so they swapped to a language pretty much only used by Googlers. Google now has control of sass, which then gives them greater influence (even greater than just having browser majority) over CSS Spec choices (see CSS Nesting spec).

I want to be able to use the "sass" command to recompile GTK themes. The sass website links to the following github, which seems to provide the command: https://github.com/sass/dart-sass/releases/tag/1.52.3. I tried the following:

wget https://github.com/sass/dart-sass/releases/download/1.52.3/dart-sass-1.52.3-linux-x64.tar.gz

dart-sass

The first project that comes to mind is Sass, a very popular CSS preprocessor, https://github.com/sass/dart-sass

before_install: - rvm install 'ruby-3.0.0' - curl -L https://github.com/sass/dart-sass/releases/download/1.49.10/dart-sass-1.49.10-linux-x64.tar.gz > dart-sass-1.49.10-linux-x64.tar.gz - tar -xvf dart-sass-1.49.10-linux-x64.tar.gz - echo 'export PATH="$PATH:$HOME/build/amco/contentinator/dart-sass:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

The tutorial below walks you through setting up unit testing for a random Sass project. If you have another project you would like to add this to, then it may require some modification to the steps to fit your needs. We will be using Dart Sass as our transpiler of choice and the Sass True framework backed by Jest to write and perform our tests.

# config/config.exs ... # Configure esbuild (the version is required) config :esbuild, version: "0.14.1", default: [ args: [ "js/app.js", "--bundle", "--target=es2016", "--outdir=../priv/static/assets", "--external:/fonts/*", "--external:/images/*" ], cd: Path.expand("../assets", __DIR__), env: %{"NODE_PATH" => Path.expand("../deps", __DIR__)} ] # https://github.com/CargoSense/dart_sass config :dart_sass, version: "1.44.0", default: [ args: ["scss/index.scss", "scss/index.css"], cd: Path.expand("../assets", __DIR__) ] ...

For JavaScript and CSS, Phoenix is using esbuild as the new default bundler. To support Sass, we need to add a Sass compiler to the project. The dart_sass package is based on the official esbuild package created by Wojtek Mach and José Valim and integrates the official Sass compiler as a build tool.
