NAME - perl bindings for libsass
CSS::Sass - Compile .scss files using libsass
SYNOPSIS
# Object Oriented API
use CSS::Sass;
# Call default constructor
my $sass = CSS::Sass->new;
# Manipulate options for compile calls
$sass->options->{source_comments} = 1;
# Call file compilation (may die on errors)
my $css = $sass->compile_file('styles.scss');
# Add custom function to use inside your Sass code
sub foobar { CSS::Sass::Value::String->new('blue') }
$sass->options->{sass_functions}->{'foobar'} = \ &foobar;
# Compile string and get css output and source-map json
$sass->options->{source_map_file} = 'output.css.map';
($css, $stats) = $sass->compile('A { color: foobar(); }');
# Object Oriented API w/ options
my $sass = CSS::Sass->new(plugin_paths => ['plugins'],
include_paths => ['some/include/path'],
output_style => SASS_STYLE_COMPRESSED,
source_map_file => 'output.css.map',
source_comments => 1,
dont_die => 1,
sass_functions => {
'foobar($arg)' => sub { $_[0] }
});
# Compile string and use the registered function
my ($css, $stats) = $sass->compile('A { color: foobar(red); }');
# Result can be undef because 'dont_die' was set
warn $sass->last_error unless (defined $css);
# Functional API
use CSS::Sass qw(:Default sass_compile);
# Functional API, with error messages and source-map
my ($css, $err, $stats) = sass_compile('A { color: red; }');
die $err if defined $err;
# Functional API, simple, with no error messages
my $css = sass_compile('A { color: red; }');
die unless defined $css;
# Functional API w/ options
my ($css, $err, $stats) = sass_compile('A { color: red; }',
include_paths => ['some/include/path'],
output_style => SASS_STYLE_NESTED,
source_map_file => 'output.css.map');
# Import sass2scss function
use CSS::Sass qw(sass2scss);
# convert indented syntax
my $scss = sass2scss($sass);
# Import quoting functions
use CSS::Sass qw(quote unquote);
# Exchange quoted strings
my $string = unquote($from_sass);
my $to_sass = quote($string, '"');
DESCRIPTION
CSS::Sass provides a perl interface to libsass, a fairly complete Sass compiler written in C++. It is currently around ruby sass 3.3/3.4 feature parity and heading towards full 3.4 compatibility. It can compile .scss and .sass files.
OBJECT ORIENTED INTERFACE
new
-
$sass = CSS::Sass->new(options)
Creates a Sass object with the specified options. Example:
$sass = CSS::Sass->new; # no options $sass = CSS::Sass->new(output_style => SASS_STYLE_NESTED);
compile(source_code)
-
$css = $sass->compile("A { color: blue; }");
This compiles the Sass string that is passed in as the first parameter. It will
croak()
if there is an error, unless thedont_die
option is set. It will returnundef
in that case. last_error
-
$sass->last_error
Returns the error encountered by the most recent invocation of
compile
. This is only useful if thedont_die
option is set.libsass
error messages are in the form ":$line:$column $error_message" so you can append them to the filename for a standard looking error message. options
-
$sass->options->{dont_die} = 1;
Allows you to inspect or change the options after a call to
new
.
FUNCTIONAL INTERFACE
$css = sass_compile(source_code, options)
($css, $err, $stats) = sass_compile(source_code, options)
-
Compiles the sass code given by
source_code
. It returns CSS, error and a status object in list context or just the CSS in scalar context. Either CSS or error will beundef
, but never both. $css = sass_compile_file(input_path, options)
($css, $err, $stats) = sass_compile_file(input_path, options)
-
Compiles the sass file given by
input_path
. It returns CSS, error and a status object in list context or just the CSS in scalar context. Either CSS or error will beundef
, but never both. - $stats status hash:
-
The status hash holds usefull information after compilation:
error_status
output_string
included_files
source_map_string
error_line
error_column
error_src
error_file
error_text
error_message
error_json
OPTIONS
output_style
-
SASS_STYLE_NESTED
SASS_STYLE_COMPACT
SASS_STYLE_EXPANDED
SASS_STYLE_COMPRESSED
The default is
SASS_STYLE_NESTED
. Set toSASS_STYLE_COMPRESSED
to eliminate all whitespace (for your production CSS). precision
-
Set the floating point precision for output.
linefeed
-
Set the linefeed string used for css output.
indent
-
Set the indentation string used for css output.
source_comments
-
Set to
true
to get extra comments in the output, indicating what input line the code corresponds to. source_map_file
-
Setting this option enables the source-map generating. The file will not actually be created, but its content will be returned to the caller. It will also enable sourceMappingURL comment by default. See
no_src_map_url
. source_map_file_urls
-
Render source entries in the source map json as file urls (`file:///`).
source_map_root
-
A path (string) that is directly embedded in the source map as
sourceRoot
. source_map_embed
-
Embeds the complete source-map content into the sourceMappingURL, by using base64 encoded data uri (sourceMappingURL=data:application/json;base64,XXXX)
source_map_contents
-
Embeds the content of each source inside a
sourcesContent
property in the source-map json. Setting this option along withsource_map_embed
allows for a completely self-contained source-map. no_src_map_url
-
Set to
true
to omit the sourceMappingURL comment from the output css. Setting this options makessource_map_embed
useless. include_paths
-
This is an arrayref that holds the list a of paths to search (in addition to the current directory) when following Sass
@import
directives. plugin_paths
-
This is an arrayref that holds a list of paths to search for third-party plugins. It will automatically load any <dll> or <so> library within that directory. This is currently a highly experimental libsass feature!
dont_die
-
This is only valid when used with the Object Oriented Interface. It is described in detail there.
sass_functions
-
This is a hash of Sass functions implemented in Perl. The key for each function should be the function's Sass signature and the value should be a Perl subroutine reference. This subroutine will be called whenever the function is used in the Sass being compiled. The arguments to the subroutine are CSS::Sass::Value objects, which map to native perl types if possible. You can return either CSS::Sass::Value objects or supported native perl data structures.
undef
is an equivalent of CSS::Sass::Value::Null->new.The function is called with an
eval
statement so you may use "die" to throw errors back to libsass (CSS::Sass::Value::Error
).A simple example:
sass_functions => { 'append_hello($str)' => sub { my ($str) = @_; die '$str should be a string' unless $str->isa("CSS::Sass::Value::String"); return CSS::Sass::Value::String->new($str->value . " hello"); # equivalent to return $str->value . " hello"; } }
If this is encountered in the Sass:
some_rule: append_hello("Well,");
Then the ouput would be:
some_rule: Well, hello;
- Custom
importer
-
This is a function implemented in Perl that gets called for every @import statement. This feature is in an experimental stage and you have to be careful to return the expected structure. You can return multiple imports from one call to make it possible to implement globbing importers etc. If you omit $data, libsass will try to load the given path itself. It will go through the normal lockup algorithm as it would had encountered the "virtual" import statement on its own. $scope holds the current import path. Imports in css are meant to be relative to the parent scope, so you can use it to create absolute urls or paths within the context your working with.
A simple example:
importer => sub { my ($import, $scope) = @_; return [ # [ $real_path ] or [ $virtual_path, $data ], [ "http://xyz/file", "div { color: red; }" ], ]; }
You may also return
undef
to skip the importer (usefull if an importer only handles certain url protocols). With the latest libsass version, you can add multiple importers with a priority order to implement more complex scenarios (highly experimental). - Custom
headers
-
Another highly experimental feature to prepend content on every compilation. It can be used to predefine mixins or other stuff. Internally the content is really just added to the top of the processed data. Custom headers have the same structure as importers. But all registered headers are called in the order given by the priority flag.
Sass_Value
Types-
Sass knowns various
Sass_Value
types. We export the constants for completeness. Each type is mapped to a package inside theCSS::Sass::Value
namespace.# Value types SASS_ERROR SASS_NULL SASS_BOOLEAN SASS_NUMBER SASS_STRING SASS_COLOR SASS_LIST SASS_MAP # List styles SASS_COMMA SASS_SPACE
- Autodetection for value types returned by custom function
-
Many
Sass_Value
types can be mapped directly to perl data structures.maps
andlists
map directly tohashes
andarrays
. Scalars are mapped tostring
,number
ornull
. You can directly return these native data types from your custom functions or use the datastructures to access maps and lists.undef; # same as CSS::Sass::Value::Null->new; 42; # same as CSS::Sass::Value::Number->new(42); "foobar"; # same as CSS::Sass::Value::String->new("foobar"); [ 'foo', 'bar' ]; # same as CSS::Sass::Value::List->new('foo', 'bar'); { key => 'value' }; # same as CSS::Sass::Value::Map->new(key => 'value');
We bless native return values from custom functions into the correct package.
# sub get-map { return { key: "value" } }; .class { content: map-get(get-map(), key); } # sub get-list { return [ 'foo', 42, 'bar' ] }; .class { content: nth(get-list(), 2); }
MISCELLANEOUS
SASS2SCSS_PRETTIFY_0
-
Write everything on one line (minimized)
SASS2SCSS_PRETTIFY_1
-
Add lf after opening bracket (lisp style)
SASS2SCSS_PRETTIFY_2
-
Add lf after opening and before closing bracket (1TBS style)
SASS2SCSS_PRETTIFY_3
-
Add lf before/after opening and before closing (allman style)
SASS2SCSS_KEEP_COMMENT
-
Keep multi-line source code comments. Single-line comments are removed by default.
SASS2SCSS_STRIP_COMMENT
-

sass2scss($sass, $options)
-
We expose the

function, which can be used to convert indented sass syntax to the newer scss syntax. You may need this, sincelibsass
will not automatically recognize the format of your string data.my $options = SASS2SCSS_PRETTIFY_1; $options |= SASS2SCSS_CONVERT_COMMENT; my $scss = sass2scss($sass, $options);
