This Maven plugin is a thin wrapper around the Sass commandline interface for generating CSS files. It downloads an appropriate native executable and executes it with the specified arguments. Please refer to Sass CLI for documentation.

Maven Example

<build>
    <plugins>
        <plugin>
            <groupId>us.hebi.sass</groupId>
            <artifactId>sass-cli-maven-plugin</artifactId>

        </plugin>
    </plugins>
</build>

Enabling Watch Mode

The sass CLI tool includes a --watch mode that continuously triggers a re-compilation whenever a used file changes. You can add the argument by running the sass:watch goal, or by specifying the sass.watch property.

# goal
mvn sass-cli:watch

# property
mvn package -Dsass.watch

Sass Version

Sass updates more often than this plugin, so it is recommended to manually specify the latest version. You can do this via the sassVersion argument or the sass.version property. Available versions can be found on Github Releases.

<properties>
    <sass.version>1.62.0</sass.version>
</properties>

The latest release is
