Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Custom importer for node-sass to import packages from the node_modules directory.

Usage

In modern day web development, packages are everywhere. There is no way around npm if you are a JavaScript developer. More and more CSS and SASS projects move to npm but it can be annoying to find a convenient way of including them into your project. Package importing makes this a little easier.

const sass = require('node-sass');
const packageImporter = require('node-sass-package-importer');

sass.render({
  ...
  importer: packageImporter()
  ...
});
// Import the file that is specified in the `package.json` file of the module.
// In the case of bootstrap, the following file is loaded:
// https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap/blob/v4-dev/scss/bootstrap.scss
@import '~bootstrap';
// Import only specific files:
@import '~bootstrap/scss/variables';
@import '~bootstrap/scss/mixins/border-radius';
@import '~bootstrap/scss/mixins/alert';
@import '~bootstrap/scss/alert';

The "~" is mandatory and marks the import path as module.

Path resolving

If only the module name is given (e.g. @import '~bootstrap') the importer looks in the package.json file of the module for the following keys: "sass", "scss", "style", "css", "main.sass", "main.scss", "main.style", "main.css" and "main". The first key that is found is used for resolving the path and importing the file into your sass code.

To load only a certain file from a module you can specify the file in the import url (e.g. @import '~bootstrap/scss/_alert.scss'). This module also supports partial file name resolving so you can import files by only specifying their base name without prefix and extension (e.g. @import '~bootstrap/scss/alert'). Sadly bootstrap and most other frameworks do not load their dependencies directly in the concerned files. So you have to load all dependencies of a file manually like in the example above. I recommend you to do better and to import dependencies directly in the files that are using them.

Options

In the example below you can see the default configuration options.

  • cwd: Defines the path in which your node_modules directory is found.
  • packageKeys: You can define the package.json keys to search for and in which order.
  • packagePrefix: You can set the special character for indicating a module resolution.
const sass = require('node-sass');
const packageImporter = require('node-sass-package-importer');

const options = {
  cwd: process.cwd(),
  packageKeys: [
    'sass',
    'scss',
    'style',
    'css',
    'main.sass',
    'main.scss',
    'main.style',
    'main.css',
    'main'
  ],
  packagePrefix: '~'
};

sass.render({
  ...
  importer: packageImporter(options)
  ...
});

CLI

node-sass --importer node_modules/node-sass-package-importer/dist/cli.js -o dist src/index.scss

Upgrade from 3.x.x to 5.x.x

  • The prefix option was renamed to packagePrefix.

Why is there no 4.x version?

This module is maintained in one repository together with multiple other node-sass custom importers. The node-sass-magic-importer repository is using a monorepo approach with fixed versions for all packages. The projects maintained in the node-sass-magic-importer monorepo started out as separate repositories with separate versioning, so when they were integrated into the monorepo, the versions of all projects were raised to 5.0.0 and are in sync since then.

node-sass-magic-importer

This module is powered by node-sass-magic-importer.
