Add Compass support about meteor-scss

[bowmande]

Can you gist your screen.scss?

Is it possible to make this work with Compass? Currently getting:

It would work, but you would need to get the actual scss files from compass and put them in your project. Also in Meteor, you don't need to do imports because all of the scss files are compiled together in the project.

I'll look at making them a part of the package soon, sass isn't as good without compass!

[wizonesolutions]

@fourseven That'd be cool. I'll be watching and push it to the team to try scss again.

@bowmande I have working familiarity with SCSS, and I can use Compass as a CLI app, but I am not too savvy on how the actual imports work. Is it possible to add a quick guide to the README on how to add the files to the Meteor project itself? Something I could follow blindly and be reasonably confident it'd work like I expected. That could be a viable workaround since it gets preprocessed anyway, so it's not going to bloat our client-delivered code.

[wizonesolutions]

Tried including the Compass files, but hesitant to do so without understanding the full scope of what I'm doing. Also, Compass itself uses @import...and I can't really rewrite all those...or at least it's not worth it vs. just compass watch.

Looking at sass/node-sass#54, it seems the prospect of Compass support in meteor-scss's current incarnation is grim (Compass isn't SassScript). Unless it is changed to a wrapper around compass compile or something...I dunno.

[fourseven]

@wizonesolutions you're right, most of compass is written in ruby, current node-based compass packages call out to the ruby version. To remove the ruby dependancy it would need to be ported, and right now I don't have the time or ability to achieve that. I'll keep this issue open until the documentation part is done and then I'll close it.

+1 for native Compass support. I would greatly appreciate that. regardless, great work, fourseven.

[krazyjakee]

+1 for compass support. Where do I get this "compass.scss" file?

[fourseven]

@krazyjakee there is no current way to use compass in this project. Compass relies on Ruby, and this is not using Ruby to compile the SCSS.

[nihaopaul]

to convert all the sass files from bootstrap in sass i used..
sass-convert --from sass --to scss -R .
now i'm now trying to find a compas.sass or compas.scss

Update: now looking at https://github.com/nathggns/node-compass.. requires the compass ruby gem

[fourseven]

As I said, compass without ruby isn't possible yet, follow along here for updates - sass/libsass#82. I'm going to close this, it's not in scope for this project until the other work is finished first.

[mitar]

What about running Ruby?

[fourseven]

I strongly believe in not using ruby for this project, so compass is not possible. If you'd like to fork this project feel free, but I want to keep it Javascript-only.

[neoeno]

Raising this in case it's still relevant to anyone. Found https://github.com/francocatena/meteor-compass — seems to use the last version of compass which works with the current libsass. Looks very promising!

[LeCoupa]

Yes, Meteor-Compass works great.

 meteor add francocatena:compass

Check README for package configuration.

You need just sass and bower

bower install compass-sass-mixins

@import "bower_components/compass-sass-mixins/lib/compass"
//@import "node_modules/compass-sass-mixins/lib/compass"

/*
use your sass mixins here
*/
