to-sass-value

Converts a JavaScript value to its corresponding Sass value for use in @node-sass.

Why?

• Some people who use Sass still struggle with the syntaxes of Sass elements (such as maps and functions).
• You want to have more control over your Sass stylesheets, particularly on parts where you think will involve heavy back-and-forth JavaScript-Sass interaction.
• You want to avoid declaring too many variables, functions, etc.
• I'm inspired by SassyJSON and what Webpack can do.

Installation

Via NPM:

$ npm install --save @theoryofnekomata/to-sass-value

Usage

var toSassValue = require('@theoryofnekomata/to-sass-value');

var sassString = toSassValue('a'),
	sassList = [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
	sassMap = { a: 'b', c: 'gdfg' };

// use it with node-sass however you want

Notes

It supports conversion of:

• numbers + optional units (integers and floats)
• strings
• arrays
• objects
• colors
• Booleans
• null and undefined
• dates (powered by Moment.js)

It does not support conversion of

• functions (converts it to SassTypes.Null.NULL)
• complex objects (such as recursive ones)
