## Overview

GCSS is a pure Go CSS preprocessor. This is inspired by [Sass](http://sass-lang.com/) and [Stylus](http://learnboost.github.io/stylus/).

## Syntax

### Variables

```scss
$base-font: Helvetica, sans-serif
$main-color: blue

body
font: 100% $base-font
color: $main-color
```

### Nesting

```scss
nav
ul
margin: 0
padding: 0

a
color: blue
&:hover
color: red
```

### Mixins

```scss
$border-radius($radius)
-webkit-border-radius: $radius
-moz-border-radius: $radius
-ms-border-radius: $radius
border-radius: $radius

.box
$border-radius(10px)
```

## Installation

```sh
$ go get -u github.com/yosssi/gcss/...
```

## Compile from the Command-Line

```sh
$ gcss /path/to/gcss/file
```

or

```sh
$ cat /path/to/gcss/file | gcss > /path/to/css/file
```

## Compile from Go programs

You can compile a GCSS file from Go programs by invoking the `gcss.CompileFile` function.

```go
cssPath, err := gcss.CompileFile("path_to_gcss_file")

if err != nil {
http.Error(w, err.Error(), http.StatusInternalServerError)
return
}

http.ServeFile(w, r, cssPath)
```

You can invoke the `gcss.Compile` function instead of the `gcss.CompileFile` function. The `gcss.Compile` function takes `io.Writer` and `io.Reader` as a parameter, compiles the GCSS data which is read from the `io.Reader` and writes the result CSS data to the `io.Writer`. Please see the [GoDoc](http://godoc.org/github.com/yosssi/gcss) for the details.

```go
f, err := os.Open("path_to_gcss_file")

if err != nil {
panic(err)
}

defer func() {
if err := f.Close(); err != nil {
panic(err)
}
}()

n, err := gcss.Compile(os.Stdout, f)
```
