Sass-Export

Sass-export takes SCSS files and export them to a JSON file you can use as data.
This is perfect for generating your site documentation.

CLI

Install it from NPM

`` bash
npm install -g sass-export
`

Ready to export:

` bash
sass-export scss/config/*.scss -o exported-sass-array.json -a
`

$3

_input:_ _variables.css

` scss
$gray-medium: #757575;
$base-value: 25px;
$gray-dark: darken($gray-medium, 5%);
$logo: url(logo.svg);
$logo-quotes: url('logo.svg');
$calculation: $base-value - 12px;
$multiple-calculations: $base-value - floor(12.5px);
`

_output_: [exported-sass-array.json]

` javascript
[
{ "name": "$gray-medium", "value": "#757575", "compiledValue": "#757575" },
{ "name": "$base-value", "value": "25px", "compiledValue": "25px" },
{ "name": "$gray-dark", "value": "darken($gray-medium, 5%)", "compiledValue" :"#686868" },
{ "name": "$logo", "value": "url(logo.svg)", "compiledValue": "url(logo.svg)" },
{ "name": "$logo-quotes", "value": "url('logo.svg')", "compiledValue": "url(\"logo.svg\")" },
{ "name": "$calculation", "value": "$base-value - 12px", "compiledValue": "13px" },
{ "name": "$multiple-calculations", "value": "$base-value - floor(12.5px)", "compiledValue": "13px" }
]
`

You can easily organize your variables into a Javascript object using sass-export annotations:

_input:_ _annotations.scss

` scss
$black: #000;
$slate: #8ca5af;

/**
* @sass-export-section="brand-colors"
*/
$brand-gray-light: #eceff1;
$brand-gray-medium: #d6d6d6;
$brand-gray: #b0bec5;
//@end-sass-export-section [optional]

/**
* @sass-export-section="fonts"
*/
$font-size: 16px;
$font-color: $brand-gray-medium;
//@end-sass-export-section

$global-group: #FF0000;
`

Then we run sass-export:

` bash
sass-export scss/_annotations.scss -o exported-grouped.json
`


_output_ [exported-grouped.json]

` javascript
{
"variables": [
{ "name": "$black", "value": "#000", "compiledValue": "#000" },
{ "name": "$slate", "value": "#8ca5af", "compiledValue": "#8ca5af" },
{ "name": "$global-group", "value": "#ff0000", "compiledValue": "#ff0000" }
],
"brand-colors": [
{ "name": "$brand-gray-light", "value": "#eceff1", "compiledValue":"#eceff1" },
{ "name": "$brand-gray-medium", "value": "#d6d6d6" ,"compiledValue":"#d6d6d6" },
{ "name": "$brand-gray", "value": "#b0bec5", "compiledValue": "#b0bec5" }
],
"fonts": [
{ "name": "$font-size", "value": "16px", "compiledValue": "16px" },
{ "name": "$font-color", "value": "$brand-gray-medium", "compiledValue":"#d6d6d6" }
]
}
`

In order to support @import we need to include --dependencies parameter with a comma separated list of the folder path to include:

` bash
sass-export scss/_fonts.scss -o=exported-dependencies.json -d "src/sass/config/, src/sass/libs/"
`

in order to use:

` scss
@import "breakpoints";
@import "variables";

$imported-value: $bp-desktop;
$font-size: $global-font-size;
`

$3

In case you wanted your sass Maps variable to be an array we included te mapValue property for variables identified as maps.

_input:_ _breakpoints.scss

` scss
$breakpoints: (
small: 767px,
medium: 992px,
large: 1200px
);
`

_output:_ [exported-maps.json]

`javascript
{
"variables": [
{
"name": "$breakpoints",
"value": "(small: 767px, medium: 992px, large: 1200px)",
"mapValue": [
{ "name": "small", "value": "767px", "compiledValue": "767px" },
{ "name": "medium","value": "992px", "compiledValue": "992px" },
{ "name": "large", "value": "1200px", "compiledValue": "1200px" }
],
"compiledValue": "(small:767px,medium:992px,large:1200px)"
}
}
`

For mixins and functions we've added a reserved 'mixins' group for it.

_input:_ _mixins.scss

` scss
@mixin box($p1, $p2) {
@content;
}

@function my-function($val) {
}

@mixin z($val: 10px, $p2: '#COFF33') {
@content;
}

@mixin no-params() {
}
``

_output:_ [exported-mixins.json]

`javascript
{
"mixins": [
{
"name": "box",
"parameters": [ "$p1", "$p2" ]
},
{
"name": "my-fucntion",
"parameters": [ "$val" ]
},
{
"name": "z",
"parameters": [ "$val: 10px", "$p2: '#COFF33'" ]
},
{
"name": "no-params",
"parameters": []
}
]
}
`

Import it in your Node App?

import syntax:

` javascript
import { exporter } from 'sass-export';
`

Require syntax:

` javascript
const exporter = require('sass-export').exporter;

const exporterBuffer = require('sass-export').buffer;
`

$3

Written using ES5 syntax.

` javascript

const exporter = require('sass-export').exporter;

//basic options
const options = {
inputFiles: ['_variables.scss', '_fonts.scss'],
includePaths: ['libs/'] // don't forget this is the folder path not the files
};

// you can get an object {variables:[], colors: []}
const asObject = exporter(options).getStructured();

console.log(asObject.variables);
console.log(asObject.colors);

// or get an array [{}, {}]
const asArray = exporter(options).getArray();

console.log(asArray)
``

Usage: sass-export [inputFiles] [options]

| Options | Type | Description |
| ------ | ---- | ------ |
| -o, --output | String | File path where to save the JSON exported. |
| -a, --array | Boolean | If it is present, it will output an array file instead of a object structured. |
| -d, --dependencies | String[] | List of dependencies separated by comma, where Sass will try to find the @imports that your inputFiles need to work. Example: "libs/, config/, variables/". |
| -h, --help | Boolean | Shows up this help screen. |
