Allow for Sass to be an alternate to Less? about material-ui

[hai-cea]

I agree :) Although, I don't have much experience with Sass. Would love some help on this one.

I'd say having a css distributable would be the way around most of these issues.

+1 to a distributable .css file. The internals of the package shouldn't really matter unless someone was looking to fork it and edit the guts of the LESS for their own project, in which case, I don't think its on the maintainer to provide that (which would imply you would need to supply stylus and pure css as well).

+1 to both a .scss file and a compiled .css version. Sass is widely used and having options could solve some of the issues

You can check out #56 for discussions about creating a .css distributable.

I'm willing to contribute towards a SASS port, since there seems to be some interest. I think that would be crucial in the long run for encouraging adoption with some of the major frameworks such as Foundation and Bootstrap. Will fork it and dig into the code over the weekend to see what all would be involved... Really love what you guys have done here by the way.

@danielsmcclintock if you need help for that, I can help. I can't stay sassless.

I've started a small repo: material-ui-sass where I would convert from less to sass the CSS framework. Never made something like this before, so I don't know how hard will it be and how we could keep the things in sync. Luckily it looks like the less files are simple and solid enough...

@DUBERT @danielsmcclintock and others, who wants to join? :-)

@hai-cea please tell me if you don't agree with this idea, maybe we should do this in another way...

[una]

I'd love to help too, @gpbl :)

[hai-cea]

@gpbl Thanks for taking this on! 👍

[dmcclintock]

@gpbl thx for taking the initiative. I was out of pocket last week, so wasn't able to start earlier as I wished. I forked this repo earlier, but it makes no difference which one serves as the main trunk...as long as we kick ass and take names. :) I'm fine with forking your repo and submitting pull requests to you as long as you're comfortable managing the pull requests/issues, and keeping it on track with this repo.

Open to any feedback from @hai-cea also.

[gpbl]

I'm finished with the conversion, we can now use sass as well! Please check material-ui-sass. Suggestions and improvements are welcome.

@hai-cea thank you for allowing us doing this. I'm sure people using Sass will appreciate. Would you like add a reference to material-ui-sass in the README.md?

[hai-cea]

@gpbl yes that's good idea - do you want to submit a PR?
