NAME - perl bindings for libsass

CSS::Sass - Compile .scss files using libsass

SYNOPSIS

  # Object Oriented API
  use CSS::Sass;

  # Call default constructor
  my $sass = CSS::Sass->new;
  # Manipulate options for compile calls
  $sass->options->{source_comments} = 1;
  # Call file compilation (may die on errors)
  my $css = $sass->compile_file('styles.scss');

  # Add custom function to use inside your Sass code
  sub foobar { CSS::Sass::Value::String->new('blue') }
  $sass->options->{sass_functions}->{'foobar'} = \ &foobar;

  # Compile string and get css output and source-map json
  $sass->options->{source_map_file} = 'output.css.map';
  ($css, $stats) = $sass->compile('A { color: foobar(); }');


  # Object Oriented API w/ options
  my $sass = CSS::Sass->new(plugin_paths    => ['plugins'],
                            include_paths   => ['some/include/path'],
                            output_style    => SASS_STYLE_COMPRESSED,
                            source_map_file => 'output.css.map',
                            source_comments => 1,
                            dont_die        => 1,
                            sass_functions  => {
                              'foobar($arg)' => sub { $_[0] }
                            });

  # Compile string and use the registered function
  my ($css, $stats) = $sass->compile('A { color: foobar(red); }');

  # Result can be undef because 'dont_die' was set
  warn $sass->last_error unless (defined $css);


  # Functional API
  use CSS::Sass qw(:Default sass_compile);

  # Functional API, with error messages and source-map
  my ($css, $err, $stats) = sass_compile('A { color: red; }');
  die $err if defined $err;

  # Functional API, simple, with no error messages
  my $css = sass_compile('A { color: red; }');
  die unless defined $css;

  # Functional API w/ options
  my ($css, $err, $stats) = sass_compile('A { color: red; }',
                                         include_paths   => ['some/include/path'],
                                         output_style    => SASS_STYLE_NESTED,
                                         source_map_file => 'output.css.map');

  # Import sass2scss function
  use CSS::Sass qw(sass2scss);

  # convert indented syntax
  my $scss = sass2scss($sass);

  # Import quoting functions
  use CSS::Sass qw(quote unquote);

  # Exchange quoted strings
  my $string = unquote($from_sass);
  my $to_sass = quote($string, '"');

DESCRIPTION

CSS::Sass provides a perl interface to libsass, a fairly complete Sass compiler written in C++. It is currently somewhere around ruby sass 3.3/3.4 feature parity and heading towards 3.4. It can compile .scss and .sass files.

OBJECT ORIENTED INTERFACE

new
  $sass = CSS::Sass->new(options)

Creates a Sass object with the specified options. Example:

  $sass = CSS::Sass->new; # no options
  $sass = CSS::Sass->new(output_style => SASS_STYLE_NESTED);
compile(source_code)
  $css = $sass->compile("A { color: blue; }");

This compiles the Sass string that is passed in as the first parameter. It will croak() if there is an error, unless the dont_die option is set. It will return undef in that case.

last_error
  $sass->last_error

Returns the error encountered by the most recent invocation of compile. This is only useful if the dont_die option is set.

libsass error messages are in the form ":$line:$column $error_message" so you can append them to the filename for a standard looking error message.

options
  $sass->options->{dont_die} = 1;

Allows you to inspect or change the options after a call to new.

FUNCTIONAL INTERFACE

$css = sass_compile(source_code, options)
($css, $err, $stats) = sass_compile(source_code, options)

Compiles the sass code given by source_code. It returns CSS, error and a status object in list context or just the CSS in scalar context. Either CSS or error will be undef, but never both.

$css = sass_compile_file(input_path, options)
($css, $err, $stats) = sass_compile_file(input_path, options)

Compiles the sass file given by input_path. It returns CSS, error and a status object in list context or just the CSS in scalar context. Either CSS or error will be undef, but never both.

$stats status hash:

The status hash holds usefull information after compilation:

error_status
output_string
included_files
source_map_string
error_line
error_column
error_src
error_file
error_text
error_message
error_json

OPTIONS

output_style
SASS_STYLE_NESTED
SASS_STYLE_COMPACT
SASS_STYLE_EXPANDED
SASS_STYLE_COMPRESSED

The default is SASS_STYLE_NESTED. Set to SASS_STYLE_COMPRESSED to eliminate all whitespace (for your production CSS).

precision

Set the floating point precision for output.

linefeed

Set the linefeed string used for css output.

indentation

Set the indentation string used for css output.

source_comments

Set to true to get extra comments in the output, indicating what input line the code corresponds to.

source_map_file

Setting this option enables the source-map generating. The file will not actually be created, but its content will be returned to the caller. It will also enable sourceMappingURL comment by default. See no_src_map_url.

source_map_root

A path (string) that is directly embedded in the source map as sourceRoot.

source_map_embed

Embeds the complete source-map content into the sourceMappingURL, by using base64 encoded data uri (sourceMappingURL=data:application/json;base64,XXXX)

source_map_contents

Embeds the content of each source inside a sourcesContent property in the source-map json. Setting this option along with source_map_embed allows for a completely self-contained source-map.

no_src_map_url

Set to true to omit the sourceMappingURL comment from the output css. Setting this options makes source_map_embed useless.

include_paths

This is an arrayref that holds the list a of paths to search (in addition to the current directory) when following Sass @import directives.

plugin_paths

This is an arrayref that holds a list of paths to search for third-party plugins. It will automatically load any <dll> or <so> library within that directory. This is currently a highly experimental libsass feature!

dont_die

This is only valid when used with the Object Oriented Interface. It is described in detail there.

sass_functions

This is a hash of Sass functions implemented in Perl. The key for each function should be the function's Sass signature and the value should be a Perl subroutine reference. This subroutine will be called whenever the function is used in the Sass being compiled. The arguments to the subroutine are CSS::Sass::Value objects, which map to native perl types if possible. You can return either CSS::Sass::Value objects or supported native perl data structures. undef is an equivalent of CSS::Sass::Value::Null->new.

The function is called with an eval statement so you may use "die" to throw errors back to libsass (CSS::Sass::Value::Error).

A simple example:

    sass_functions => {
        'append_hello($str)' => sub {
            my ($str) = @_;
            die '$str should be a string' unless $str->isa("CSS::Sass::Value::String");
            return CSS::Sass::Value::String->new($str->value . " hello");
            # equivalent to return $str->value . " hello";
        }
    }

If this is encountered in the Sass:

    some_rule: append_hello("Well,");

Then the ouput would be:

    some_rule: Well, hello;
Custom importer

This is a function implemented in Perl that gets called for every @import statement. This feature is in an experimental stage and you have to be careful to return the expected structure. You can return multiple imports from one call to make it possible to implement globbing importers etc. If you omit $data, libsass will try to load the given path itself. It will go through the normal lockup algorithm as it would had encountered the "virtual" import statement on its own. $scope holds the current import path. Imports in css are meant to be relative to the parent scope, so you can use it to create absolute urls or paths within the context your working with.

A simple example:

    importer => sub {
      my ($import, $scope) = @_;
      return [
        # [ $real_path ] or [ $virtual_path, $data ],
        [ "http://xyz/file", "div { color: red; }" ],
      ];
    }

You may also return undef to skip the importer (usefull if an importer only handles certain url protocols). With the latest libsass version, you can add multiple importers with a priority order to implement more complex scenarios (highly experimental).

Custom headers

Another highly experimental feature to prepend content on every compilation. It can be used to predefine mixins or other stuff. Internally the content is really just added to the top of the processed data. Custom headers have the same structure as importers. But all registered headers are called in the order given by the priority flag.

Sass_Value Types

Sass knowns various Sass_Value types. We export the constants for completeness. Each type is mapped to a package inside the CSS::Sass::Value namespace.

    # Value types
    SASS_ERROR
    SASS_NULL
    SASS_BOOLEAN
    SASS_NUMBER
    SASS_STRING
    SASS_COLOR
    SASS_LIST
    SASS_MAP
    # List styles
    SASS_COMMA
    SASS_SPACE
Autodetection for value types returned by custom function

Many Sass_Value types can be mapped directly to perl data structures. maps and lists map directly to hashes and arrays. Scalars are mapped to string, number or null. You can directly return these native data types from your custom functions or use the datastructures to access maps and lists.

    undef; # same as CSS::Sass::Value::Null->new;
    42; # same as CSS::Sass::Value::Number->new(42);
    "foobar"; # same as CSS::Sass::Value::String->new("foobar");
    [ 'foo', 'bar' ]; # same as CSS::Sass::Value::List->new('foo', 'bar');
    { key => 'value' }; # same as CSS::Sass::Value::Map->new(key => 'value');

We bless native return values from custom functions into the correct package.

    # sub get-map { return { key: "value" } };
    .class { content: map-get(get-map(), key); }

    # sub get-list { return [ 'foo', 42, 'bar' ] };
    .class { content: nth(get-list(), 2); }

MISCELLANEOUS

SASS2SCSS_PRETTIFY_0

Write everything on one line (minimized)

SASS2SCSS_PRETTIFY_1

Add lf after opening bracket (lisp style)

SASS2SCSS_PRETTIFY_2

Add lf after opening and before closing bracket (1TBS style)

SASS2SCSS_PRETTIFY_3

Add lf before/after opening and before closing (allman style)

SASS2SCSS_KEEP_COMMENT

Keep multi-line source code comments. Single-line comments are removed by default.

SASS2SCSS_STRIP_COMMENT

Strip all source code (single- and multi-line) comments.

SASS2SCSS_CONVERT_COMMENT

sass2scss($sass, $options)

We expose the sass2scss function, which can be used to convert indented sass syntax to the newer scss syntax. You may need this, since libsass will not automatically recognize the format of your string data.

    my $options = SASS2SCSS_PRETTIFY_1;
    $options |= SASS2SCSS_CONVERT_COMMENT;
    my $scss = sass2scss($sass, $options);
