Compile SCSS to CSS in your templates

Requirements

This plugin requires Craft CMS 4.0.0 or later.

Installation

To install the plugin, follow these instructions.

1. Open your terminal and go to your Craft project:

   cd /path/to/project
   

2. Then tell Composer to load the plugin:

   composer require chasegiunta/scss
   

3. In the Control Panel, go to Settings → Plugins and click the “Install” button for SCSS.

SCSS Overview

Craft conveniently offers {% css %} tags to include template-specific styles in the head of your page. This plugin takes that functionality a bit further by enabling support for compiling SCSS to CSS with {% scss %} using the scssphp library (https://github.com/scssphp/scssphp).

Configuring SCSS

By default, while working with devMode enabled, the styles generated will be output into a readable expanded format. If Craft is not running in devMode, the styles will be uglified into a compressed format.

You can configure these default output formats by copying the scss.php file from the plugin directory in your config folder.

Using SCSS

{% scss %}
... insert scss here ...
{% endscss %}

Given the following SCSS:

{% scss %}
/*! Comment */
.navigation {
    ul {
        line-height: 20px;
        color: blue;
        a {
            color: red;
        }
    }
}

.footer {
    .copyright {
        color: silver;
    }
}
{% endscss %}

Output format

Specifying an output format will take precedence over any default settings in config/scss.php.

{% scss expanded %}

/*! Comment */
.navigation ul {
  line-height: 20px;
  color: blue;
}
.navigation ul a {
  color: red;
}
.footer .copyright {
  color: silver;
}

{% scss compressed %}

/* Comment*/.navigation ul{line-height:20px;color:blue;}.navigation ul a{color:red;}.footer .copyright{color:silver;}

@import

When you import a file using the @import directive, the current path of your Craft install is used as the search path.
