sprockets-sass
==============

[![Gem Version](https://badge.fury.io/rb/sprockets-sass.svg)](https://badge.fury.io/rb/sprockets-sass) [![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/petebrowne/sprockets-sass.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/petebrowne/sprockets-sass)

**Better Sass integration with [Sprockets 2.x](http://github.com/sstephenson/sprockets)**

When using Sprockets 2.x with Sass you will eventually run into a pretty big issue. `//= require` directives will not allow Sass mixins, variables, etc. to be shared between files. So you'll try to use `@import`, and that'll also blow up in your face. `sprockets-sass` fixes all of this by creating a Sass::Importer that is Sprockets aware.

**Note: This works in Rails 3.1, thanks to the [sass-rails gem](http://github.com/rails/sass-rails). But if you want to use Sprockets and Sass anywhere else, like Sinatra, use `sprockets-sass`**

### Features

* Imports Sass ```_partials_``` (filenames prepended with ```_```).
* Import paths work exactly like `require` directives.
* Imports either Sass syntax, or just regular CSS files.
* Imported files are preprocessed by Sprockets, so `.css.scss.erb` files can be imported.
Directives from within imported files also work as expected.
* Automatic integration with Compass.
* Supports glob imports, like sass-rails.
* Asset path Sass functions. **New in 0.4!**

Installation
------------

``` bash
$ gem install sprockets-sass
```

Usage
-----

In your Rack application, setup Sprockets as you normally would, and require "sprockets-sass":

``` ruby
require "sprockets"
require "sprockets-sass"
require "sass"

map "/assets" do
environment = Sprockets::Environment.new
environment.append_path "assets/stylesheets"
run environment
end

map "/" do
run YourRackApp
end
```

Sprockets Sass provides also a compressor for ```.css``` files

You can use it with Sprockets 2.x by doing this:

```ruby
environment = Sprockets::Environment.new
environment.css_compressor = Sprockets::Sass::V2::Compressor
```

Or with Sprockets 3.x by doing this:

```ruby
environment = Sprockets::Environment.new
environment.css_compressor = :sprockets_sass
```

Or with Rails by setting ```css_compressor``` in the ```config/application.rb``` file to one of the values listed above depending on your version of Sprockets

Now `@import` works essentially just like a `require` directive, but with one essential bonus:
Sass mixins, variables, etc. work as expected.

Given the following Sass _partials_:

``` scss
// assets/stylesheets/_mixins.scss
@mixin border-radius($radius) {
-webkit-border-radius: $radius;
-moz-border-radius: $radius;
border-radius: $radius;
}
```

``` scss
// assets/stylesheets/_settings.scss
$color: red;
```

In another file - you can now do this - from within a Sprockets asset:

``` scss
// assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss
@import "mixins";
@import "settings";

button {
@include border-radius(5px);
color: $color;
}
```

And `GET /assets/application.css` would return something like:

``` css
button {
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
border-radius: 5px;
color: red; }
```

Passing Options to the Sass Engine
----------------------------------

If you would like to configure any of the Sass options, you can do so like this:

```ruby
Sprockets::Sass.options[:line_comments] = true
```

Compass Integration
-------------------

As of version 0.3.0, Compass is automatically detected and integrated. All you have to do
is configure Compass like you normally would:

``` ruby
require "sprockets"
require "sprockets-sass"
require "sass"
require "compass"

Compass.configuration do |compass|
# ...
end

map "/assets" do
environment = Sprockets::Environment.new
environment.append_path "assets/stylesheets"
run environment
end

# etc...
```

The load paths and other options from Compass are automatically used:

``` scss
// assets/stylesheets/application.css.scss
@import "compass/css3";

button {
@include border-radius(5px);
}
```

Asset Path Sass Functions
-------------------------

As of version 0.4.0, asset path helpers have been added. In order to use them you must add [sprockets-helpers](https://github.com/petebrowne/sprockets-helpers) to your Gemfile:

``` ruby
gem "sprockets-sass", "~> 0.5"
gem "sprockets-helpers", "~> 0.2"
# etc...
```

Here's a quick guide to setting up sprockets-helpers in your application (look at the project's [README](https://github.com/petebrowne/sprockets-helpers/blob/master/README.md) for more information):

``` ruby
require "sprockets"
require "sprockets-sass"
require "sprockets-helpers"
require "sass"

map "/assets" do
environment = Sprockets::Environment.new
environment.append_path "assets/stylesheets"

Sprockets::Helpers.configure do |config|
config.environment = environment
config.prefix = "/assets"
config.digest = false
end

run environment
end

# etc...
```

The Sass functions are based on the ones in sass-rails. So there is a `-path` and `-url` version of each helper:

``` scss
background: url(asset-path("logo.jpg")); // background: url("/assets/logo.jpg");
background: asset-url("logo.jpg"); // background: url("/assets/logo.jpg");
```

The API of the functions mimics the helpers provided by sprockets-helpers, using Sass keyword arguments as options:

``` scss
background: asset-url("logo.jpg", $digest: true); // background: url("/assets/logo-27a8f1f96afd8d4c67a59eb9447f45bd.jpg");
background: asset-url("logo", $prefix: "/themes", $ext: "jpg"); // background: url("/themes/logo.jpg");
```

As of version 0.6.0, `#asset_data_uri` has been added, which creates a data URI for the given asset:

``` scss
background: asset-data-uri("image.jpg"); // background: url(data:image/jpeg;base64,...);
```

Development
-----------

Install dependencies using bundler:

``` bash
bundle install
```

sprocket-sass is tested against numerous versions of Sass, Compoass, and Sprockets using [appraisal](https://github.com/thoughtbot/appraisal).
This will install all the gems and run the tests against all versions
Run tests:

``` bash
bundle exec rake
```
