Compile Sass to CSS
If you haven't used Grunt before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it explains how to create a Gruntfile as well as install and use Grunt plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install grunt-contrib-sass --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your Gruntfile with this line of JavaScript:
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
Run this task with the grunt sass command.
Sass is a preprocessor that adds nested rules, variables, mixins and functions, selector inheritance, and more to CSS. Sass files compile into well-formatted, standard CSS to use in your site or application.
This task requires you to have Ruby and Sass installed. If you're on OS X or Linux you probably already have Ruby installed; test with ruby -v in your terminal. When you've confirmed you have Ruby installed, run gem install sass to install Sass.
Note: Files that begin with "_" are ignored even if they match the globbing pattern. This is done to match the expected Sass partial behaviour.

grunt.initConfig({
sass: { // Task
dist: { // Target
options: { // Target options
style: 'expanded'
},
files: { // Dictionary of files
'main.css': 'main.scss', // 'destination': 'source'
'widgets.css': 'widgets.scss'
}
}
}
});
grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-contrib-sass');
grunt.registerTask('default', ['sass']);
grunt.initConfig({
sass: {
dist: {
files: {
'main.css': 'main.scss'
}
}
}
});
Instead of concatenating the files, just @import them into another .sass file eg. main.scss.
You can specify multiple destination: source items in files.
grunt.initConfig({
sass: {
dist: {
files: {
'main.css': 'main.scss',
'widgets.css': 'widgets.scss'
}
}
}
});
Instead of naming all files you want to compile, you can use the expand property allowing you to specify a directory. More information available in the grunt docs - Building the files object dynamically.
grunt.initConfig({
sass: {
dist: {
files: [{
expand: true,
cwd: 'styles',
src: ['*.scss'],
dest: '../public',
ext: '.css'
}]
}
}
});
chalk. Update to docs and project structure.banner option. Allow using --force to ignore compile errors. Increase concurrency count from 2 to 4. Improve Windows support.check option.update option.bundleExec option. Fix os.cpus() issue. Log sass command when --verbose flag is set.banner option.file.orig.src if file.src does not exist and return early to avoid passing non-existent files to sass binary.bundle exec. Make sure .css files are compiled with SCSS.this.files API. Add separator option.Task submitted by Sindre Sorhus
