Import Sass files from NPM and Bower Modules
npm install sass-module-importer
Simple importer for node-sass to import npm and bower modules.
Say good-bye to all the mess with relative paths on your Sass files.
You can now import your Sass/SCSS modules by referencing to the module name, like this:
``sass`
@import "sass-easing";
@import "quantum-colors";
@import "inuit-defaults";
@import "inuit-functions";
@import "inuit-mixins";
@import "inuit-box-sizing";
@import "inuit-normalize";
@import "inuit-page";
// :)
Just for comparison, look at this mess:
`sass`
@import "node_modules/sass-easing/_easings.scss";
@import "bower_components/quantum-colors/_quantum-colors.scss";
@import "bower_components/inuit-defaults/settings.defaults";
@import "bower_components/inuit-functions/tools.functions";
@import "bower_components/inuit-mixins/tools.mixins";
@import "bower_components/inuit-normalize/generic.normalize";
@import "bower_components/inuit-box-sizing/generic.box-sizing";
@import "bower_components/inuit-page/base.page";
// :(
Assuming that the external library you are installing fits under one of those categories:
1. Set a SCSS/Sass/CSS file on the "main" field of their package.json/bower.json
2. Set a SCSS/Sass/CSS file on the "style" field of their package.json/bower.json
3. Have a index.css file on the root of their module
This tool it will also inline CSS files for you, since Sass cannot import plain CSS files yet. So if the dependency you are using exports a CSS file, it will work too.
`sh`
npm install sass-module-importer --save-dev
`js
import sass from 'node-sass';
import moduleImporter from 'sass-module-importer';
sass.render({
file: './source/css/app.scss',
importer: moduleImporter()
}, cb);
`
`js
import gulp from 'gulp';
import sass from 'gulp-sass';
import moduleImporter from 'sass-module-importer';
gulp.task('style', () => {
return gulp.src('./source/css/app.scss')
.pipe(sass({ importer: moduleImporter() }))
.pipe(gulp.dest('./public/css'));
});
`
If you need to import partials from your external module, just use the path for the partial you want to import. To import the following file:
``
node_modules/module-name/folder/to/_file.scss
Import like this anywhere:
`scss`
@import "module-name/folder/to/_file.scss"
js
moduleImporter({ basedir: path.join(__dirname, 'another-folder') });
`Tests
Use npm test` to run the tests.
