The `sass` R package provides bindings to [LibSass](https://github.com/sass/libsass), a fast [Sass](https://sass-lang.com/) compiler written in C++. Sass is a mature and stable CSS extension language that makes styling modern websites less complex and more composable.
### Installation
Install the released version of `sass` from CRAN:
```r
install.packages("sass")
```
Install the latest development build from GitHub:
```r
# install.packages("remotes")
remotes::install_github("rstudio/sass")
```
### Basic usage
To compile Sass into CSS, provide Sass to the `input` argument of the `sass()` function. `input` can be any of the following:
* An R string (as in the example below).
* A named `list()` defining [Sass variables](https://rstudio.github.io/sass/articles/sass.html#variables).
* A `sass_file()`, `sass_import()`, or `sass_layer()`.
* A nested `list()` comprising of all the above.
```{r}
library(sass)
sass(input = "
$size: 50%;
foo { margin: $size * .33; }
")
```
### Learn more
See **sass**'s [overview vignette](https://rstudio.github.io/sass/articles/sass.html) as well as the official [Sass documentation](https://sass-lang.com/documentation/).
