gulp-sass-globbing
Create an import map file with @import from a configured path
This plugin can be used with libsass.
The initial intent is to offer an alternative to grunt-sass-globbing.
Supported CSS preprocessors
libsass
libsass (and Ruby Sass) do not support globbing out-of-the-box. This plugin helps you migrating existing projects from Ruby Sass to libsass.
Getting Started
This plugin requires Gulp
If you haven't used Gulp before, be sure to check out the Getting Started guide, as it shares recipes for gulpfiles as well as how to install and use Gulp plugins. Once you're familiar with that process, you may install this plugin with this command:
npm install gulp-sass-globbing --save-dev
Once the plugin has been installed, it may be enabled inside your gulpfile with this line of JavaScript:
gulp.require('gulp-sass-globbing');
The "glob:sass" task
Overview
In your project's gulpfile, add a task named glob:sass
.
Usage Example
In this example, an import map from a defined path will be created.
You might want to add an empty destination file to your version control: gulp-sass-globbing
will overwrite it with the generated import statements.
Usage with all options
gulp.task('glob:sass', function() {
var globSass = require('gulp-sass-globbing');
gulp.src('components/**/*.scss', {cwd: 'sass/partials/global-styles'})
.pipe(globSass(
{
path: '_components.scss'
},
{
useSingleQuotes: true
signature: '// Hello, World!'
}
))
.pipe(gulp.dest('sass/partials/global-styles'));
};
In the gulp.src command, define the path where the files should be globbed from, based on the directory where the file with the globbed import statements will be located: this should be defined with the cwd key in the options for gulp.src, as well as in gulp.dest at the end of the task.
The globSass function takes two arguments:
- A Vinyl file object with the name of the file that should be created.
- An options object.
Options
useSingleQuotes
Type: Boolean
Default: false
Determines whether single or double quotes are used around import statements.
false
- Double quotes are used.true
- Single quotes are used.
signature
Type: string
Default: /* generated with grunt-sass-globbing */\n\n
Sets the signature for the map files.
false
- Disables adding of signature.
Usage in SCSS file
In this example, your file is located in sass/global-styles.scss. This file imports the generated map files described in the example gulpfile above.
@import "partials/global-styles/components";
@import "partials/core";
// more imports or rules
Contributing
In lieu of a formal styleguide, take care to maintain the existing coding style. Add unit tests for any new or changed functionality. Lint and test your code using Gulp.
Acknowledgements
The initial goal of this project is to provide the same features as grunt-sass-globbing, from which this draws heavily. That project has a nice model of taking an import directory as its source and then creating a file that holds import statements.
A few sass globbing projects existed for Gulp, but with a different approach that required a file to define the location of the files that should be globbed:
I also reviewed the code for gulp-concat, which offered some helpful model code.
Thank you to the creators of all of these projects, and to all who contribute to these and other related projects.
