Multiple save folders

[morsanu]

I ran into a small problem, I have more than one sass folders in my solution, something like this:

root
---- sass
---- ---- style.scss
---- folder1
---- ---- sass
---- ---- ---- style.scss

I would like to save my css files like this:

root
---- sass
---- ---- style.scss
---- css
---- ---- style.css
---- folder1
---- ---- sass
---- ---- ---- style.scss
---- ---- css
---- ---- ---- style.css

but the "savePath" setting is global and it's relative to the root.
Is there a way to achieve what I'm looking for?

[ritwickdey]

yes! In your example, it will not work!
I'm wondering how the setting will be look like! Have you any suggestion?

I think, it might be good:

savePath : ~/../css/

this ~ will be indicates the individual Sass/Scss path

Perhaps the includeItems array could be configured to take objects as well. Maybe something like this could work:

"includeItems": [
 {
    "input": "./scss/src.scss",
    "output": "./css/dist.css"
  }
]

Another way would be to do it like webpack.

@ritwickdey I was thinking of the same solution. "~" to work as a relative root to the specific scss/sass folder.

That the css save path can't be set relative to the scss file location just became my main issue when switchin from Atom to VS Code working on my old projects.

Save path savePath : ~/../css/ for relative to .scss would be very good.

Just adding support for relative path might solve a few problems, but considering scenarios like #29 and #32, entirely independent filenames could be necessary. To combine them might be an idea, like this:

"includeItems": [
 {
    "input": "~/scss/src.scss",
    "output": "~/css/dist.css"
  }
]

I haven't looked at the code for this in a while, so it might be difficult to solve the problem like this.

Hi @boyum... It would be nice... but there is also a savePath settings.
But don't think it's making extra complexity ?

All the further discussion of "compiling SCSS to CSS with different name" will be #29.

For now, I'm closing this issue as the main purpose of the issue is added from v1.2.0
