Mix tasks for installing and invoking sass.
If you are going to build assets in production, then you add
dart_sass
as a dependency on all environments but only start it
in dev:
def deps do
[
{:dart_sass, "~> 0.3", runtime: Mix.env() == :dev}
]
end
However, if your assets are precompiled during development, then it only needs to be a dev dependency:
def deps do
[
{:dart_sass, "~> 0.3", only: :dev}
]
end
Once installed, change your config/config.exs
to pick your
dart_sass version of choice:
config :dart_sass, version: "1.39.0"
Now you can install dart-sass by running:
$ mix sass.install
And invoke sass with:
$ mix sass default assets/css/app.scss priv/static/assets/app.css
If you need additional load paths you may specify them:
$ mix sass default assets/css/app.scss --load-path=assets/node_modules/bulma priv/static/assets/app.css
The executable may be kept at _build/sass
. However in most cases
running dart-sass requires two files: the portable Dart VM is kept at
_build/dart
and the Sass snapshot is kept at _build/sass.snapshot
.
The first argument to dart_sass
is the execution profile.
You can define multiple execution profiles with the current
directory, the OS environment, and default arguments to the
sass
task:
config :dart_sass,
version: "1.39.0",
default: [
args: ~w(css/app.scss ../priv/static/assets/app.css),
cd: Path.expand("../assets", __DIR__)
]
When mix sass default
is invoked, the task arguments will be appended
to the ones configured above.
To add dart_sass
to an application using Phoenix, you need only four steps.
Note that installation requires that Phoenix watchers can accept MFArgs
tuples – so you must have Phoenix > v1.5.9.
First add it as a dependency in your mix.exs
:
def deps do
[
{:phoenix, "~> 1.6.0-rc.0"},
{:dart_sass, "~> 0.2", runtime: Mix.env() == :dev}
]
end
Now let’s configure dart_sass
to use assets/css/app.scss
as the input file and
compile CSS to the output location priv/static/assets/app.css
:
config :dart_sass,
version: "1.39.0",
default: [
args: ~w(css/app.scss ../priv/static/assets/app.css),
cd: Path.expand("../assets", __DIR__)
]
Note: if you are using esbuild (the default from Phoenix v1.6), make sure you remove the
import "../css/app.css"
line at the top of assets/js/app.js soesbuild
stops generating css files.
Note: make sure the “assets” directory from priv/static is listed in the :only option for Plug.Static in your endpoint file at, for instance
lib/my_app_web/endpoint.ex
.
For development, we want to enable watch mode. So find the watchers
configuration in your config/dev.exs
and add:
sass: {
DartSass,
:install_and_run,
[:default, ~w(--embed-source-map --source-map-urls=absolute --watch)]
}
Note we are embedding source maps with absolute URLs and enabling the file system watcher.
Finally, back in your mix.exs
, make sure you have an assets.deploy
alias for deployments, which will also use the --style=compressed
option:
"assets.deploy": [
"esbuild default --minify",
"sass default --no-source-map --style=compressed",
"phx.digest"
]
This package is based on the excellent esbuild by Wojtek Mach and José Valim.

# DartSass
[![CI](https://github.com/CargoSense/dart_sass/actions/workflows/main.yml/badge.svg)](https://github.com/CargoSense/dart_sass/actions/workflows/main.yml)
Mix tasks for installing and invoking [sass](https://github.com/sass/dart-sass/).
## Installation
If you are going to build assets in production, then you add
`dart_sass` as a dependency on all environments but only start it
in dev:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:dart_sass, "~> 0.3", runtime: Mix.env() == :dev}
]
end
```
However, if your assets are precompiled during development,
then it only needs to be a dev dependency:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:dart_sass, "~> 0.3", only: :dev}
]
end
```
Once installed, change your `config/config.exs` to pick your
dart_sass version of choice:
```elixir
config :dart_sass, version: "1.39.0"
```
Now you can install dart-sass by running:
```bash
$ mix sass.install
```
And invoke sass with:
```bash
$ mix sass default assets/css/app.scss priv/static/assets/app.css
```
If you need additional load paths you may specify them:
```bash
$ mix sass default assets/css/app.scss --load-path=assets/node_modules/bulma priv/static/assets/app.css
```
The executable may be kept at `_build/sass`. However in most cases
running dart-sass requires two files: the portable Dart VM is kept at
`_build/dart` and the Sass snapshot is kept at `_build/sass.snapshot`.
## Profiles
The first argument to `dart_sass` is the execution profile.
You can define multiple execution profiles with the current
directory, the OS environment, and default arguments to the
`sass` task:
```elixir
config :dart_sass,
version: "1.39.0",
default: [
args: ~w(css/app.scss ../priv/static/assets/app.css),
cd: Path.expand("../assets", __DIR__)
]
```
When `mix sass default` is invoked, the task arguments will be appended
to the ones configured above.
## Adding to Phoenix
To add `dart_sass` to an application using Phoenix, you need only four steps.
Note that installation requires that Phoenix watchers can accept `MFArgs`
tuples – so you must have Phoenix > v1.5.9.
First add it as a dependency in your `mix.exs`:
```elixir
def deps do
[
{:phoenix, "~> 1.6.0-rc.0"},
{:dart_sass, "~> 0.2", runtime: Mix.env() == :dev}
]
end
```
Now let's configure `dart_sass` to use `assets/css/app.scss` as the input file and
compile CSS to the output location `priv/static/assets/app.css`:
```elixir
config :dart_sass,
version: "1.39.0",
default: [
args: ~w(css/app.scss ../priv/static/assets/app.css),
cd: Path.expand("../assets", __DIR__)
]
```

For development, we want to enable watch mode. So find the `watchers`
configuration in your `config/dev.exs` and add:
```elixir
sass: {
DartSass,
:install_and_run,
[:default, ~w(--embed-source-map --source-map-urls=absolute --watch)]
}
```
Note we are embedding source maps with absolute URLs and enabling the file system watcher.
Finally, back in your `mix.exs`, make sure you have an `assets.deploy`
alias for deployments, which will also use the `--style=compressed` option:
```elixir
"assets.deploy": [
"esbuild default --minify",
"sass default --no-source-map --style=compressed",
"phx.digest"
]
```
