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.

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).

dart-sass

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

Some packages are platform dependent. For example, development tools, such as 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
