NativeSass

NativeSass will compile your sass and scss files using the sass command on your system. It allows for a variety of options and comes with a ServiceProvider for Laravel.

Installation

First, ensure that Sass is installed on your system. To do that see Sass Install.

Next, install NativeSass via composer.

composer require mrkmg/native-sass

With Laravel 4

Add the service provider to your app config (app/config/app.php)

'mrkmg\NativeSass\CompilerServiceProvider'

Install the configuration file

php artisan config:publish mrkmg/native-sass

Update the configuration file to your needs.

Usage

Generic Usage

Instantiate a new instance of the compiler with the desired options.

$compiler = new \mrkmg\NativeSass\Compiler([
    'compilerPath'  => 'sass',
    'inputPath'     => '/some/path/to/raw/sass',
    'outputPath'    => '/some/path/for/compiled/css',
    'outputStyle'   => 'expanded', //Options are nested, compact, compressed, or expanded
    'sourceMap'     => 'file', //Options are auto, inline, file, or none
]);

For all the following examples, if you pass a relative path, it is assumed to be relative to the inputPath. If you pass an absolute path (any path starting with a /) then the path is used as is.

If you wish to compile a single file into CSS, use the compileSingle method.

//Keep the same name. Will create rawfile.css and rawfile.css.map in the outputPath
$compiler->compileSingle('rawfile.sass');

//Custom output name and paths. Will create newname.css and newname.css.map in /some/other/output/
$compiler->compileSingle('/some/other/path/rawfile.scss', '/some/other/output/newname.css');

You can also compile many files at once. Use the compileMany method which takes an array of files.

//Compiles many files.
$compiler->compileMany([
    'rawfile.sass',
    'rawfile2.sass',
    'rawfile3.sass' => 'alternatename.css'
]);

Finally, you can compile an entire directory of CSS files all at once with the compileAll method. By default, only files in the top directory are compiled.

//Compiles all files in the inputPath into the outputPath
$compiler->compileAll();

//Compiles all files in a specific directory into the outputPath
$compiler->compileAll('/some/other/sourcedir/');

//Compile all files in the inputPath, and 2 levels deep of sub-directories, into the outputPath
$compiler->compileAll("", 2);

With Laravel

The class in instantiated automatically and all methods made available via the alias NativeSass.

For example, to run compile a single file:

NativeSass::compileSingle('rawfile.sass');

Usage is the same as above.

Optional Command for Laravel 4

If you wish to compile all your sass via a console command in artisan, create the following command:

Create app/command/CompileSass.php

<?php
use Illuminate\Console\Command;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputOption;
use Symfony\Component\Console\Input\InputArgument;

class CompileSass extends Command {

	/**
	 * The console command name.
	 *
	 * @var string
	 */
	protected $name = 'sass:compile';

	/**
	 * The console command description.
	 *
	 * @var string
	 */
	protected $description = 'Compile all SASS.';

	/**
	 *
     */
	public function __construct()
	{
		parent::__construct();
	}

	/**
	 * Execute the console command.
	 *
	 * @return mixed
	 */
	public function fire()
	{
	    //Adjust here to your needs
		NativeSass::compileAll();
	}

	/**
	 * Get the console command arguments.
	 *
	 * @return array
	 */
	protected function getArguments()
	{
		return array(
		);
	}

	/**
	 * Get the console command options.
	 *
	 * @return array
	 */
	protected function getOptions()
	{
		return array(
		);
	}

}

Then add that command to artisan. In app/start/artisan.php, add

Artisan::add(new CompileSass);

Then compile all your sass

php artisan sass:compile
