babel-plugin-transform-scss-import-to-string

Babel transform plugin for replacing *.scss imports with static variable declaration as css string.

Example

import sideEffectStyles from './styles.sass';
// vvv
const sideEffectStyles = '.foo { color: red; }';

Quick start

Install the plugin first:

# yarn
yarn add --dev @researchgate/babel-plugin-transform-scss-import-to-string

# npm
npm install --save-dev @researchgate/babel-plugin-transform-scss-import-to-string

Add it to your babel configuration:

{
  "plugins": ["@researchgate/babel-plugin-transform-scss-import-to-string"]
}

Or with custom node-sass options:

{
  "plugins": [
    [
      "@researchgate/babel-plugin-transform-scss-import-to-string",
      { "precision": 3 }
    ]
  ]
}

Import *.scss files:

// foo.scss
$bar: 42px;
.foo {
  font-size: $bar;
}

// foo.js
import foo from './foo.scss';
console.log(foo); // -> .foo { font-size: 42px; }

Requirements

• node-sass, which you should install explicitly
• babel-core, which you should already have with babel configured

Caveats

• This module shouldn't be used with webpack and sass-loader since babel transform would take first place in build process.
• Every import transpiled with node-sass as an independent file, so you have to explicitly import dependencies if you used to have common context before.
