@parcel/transformer-sass

What is @parcel/transformer-sass?

@parcel/transformer-sass is a Parcel plugin that allows you to transform SASS/SCSS files into CSS. It integrates seamlessly with the Parcel bundler, enabling you to use SASS/SCSS in your projects without additional configuration.

What are @parcel/transformer-sass's main functionalities?

Basic SASS/SCSS Compilation

This feature allows you to write SASS/SCSS code and have it automatically compiled into CSS. The example demonstrates a simple SASS file that defines a variable and uses it to set the text color of the body.

/* styles.scss */
$primary-color: #333;
body {
  color: $primary-color;
}

Nested Rules

This feature allows you to nest CSS rules within one another, which can make your stylesheets more readable and maintainable. The example shows nested rules for styling a navigation menu.

/* styles.scss */
nav {
  ul {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    list-style: none;
  }
  li { display: inline-block; }
  a {
    display: block;
    padding: 6px 12px;
    text-decoration: none;
  }
}

Partials and Imports

This feature allows you to split your SASS/SCSS code into multiple files and import them where needed. The example demonstrates how to define variables in a partial file and import them into the main stylesheet.

/* _variables.scss */
$font-stack: Helvetica, sans-serif;
$primary-color: #333;

/* styles.scss */
@import 'variables';
body {
  font: 100% $font-stack;
  color: $primary-color;
}

Unlike @parcel/transformer-sass, node-sass does not integrate directly with Parcel and requires additional setup to work with build tools.

sass

sass (Dart Sass) is the primary implementation of Sass, which is written in Dart. It can be used to compile SASS/SCSS files into CSS. Similar to node-sass, it does not integrate directly with Parcel and requires additional configuration to be used with build tools.

gulp-sass

gulp-sass is a Gulp plugin for compiling SASS/SCSS files into CSS. It integrates with the Gulp task runner, allowing you to automate the compilation process. Unlike @parcel/transformer-sass, gulp-sass is specific to Gulp and requires a Gulp setup.
