Sublime Text 3 SCSS Autocompile

I do like this less-autocompile package for Atom. But I don't like Atom too much. I wanted that plugin for Sublime Text 3. So I've created my own very first plugin for ST3 inspired by @lohek.

I've switched to SCSS and I've decided to adapt my plugin. Here it is.

Warning! My plugin has not been tested well and I can't recommend you to use it till I finish it. I'll remove this warning once it is done. I've tested in on macOS only for now.

Dependencies

There is no magic, the plugin uses node's node-sass-chokidar to do the job. So it depends on some packages installed globally.

npm install -g node-sass-chokidar

Installation

I didn't add my plugin to Sublime Packages so there is only a manual way to install. But this is quite easy to do.

You need to download the plugin and put the folder SCSSAutocompile to Packages folder of your Sublime Text 3. The Packages folder can be found:

• %HOMEPATH%/AppData/Roaming/Sublime Text 3/Packages (Windows)
• ~/Library/Application Support/Sublime Text 3/Packages (macOS)
• ~/config/sublime-text-3/Packages/ (Linux) Note It can be different, depends on the way you've installed Sublime Text 3

Usage

Add the parameters on the first lines of the SCSS file.

out (string):  path of CSS file to create
sourcemap (bool): create sourcemap file
compress (bool): compress CSS file
main (string): path to your main SCSS file to be compiled

Example

scss/styles.scss

// out: ../css/styles.css
// sourcemap: true
// compress: true

@import "my/components/select.scss";

scss/my/components/select.scss

// main: ../../styles.scss

.select {
  height: 100px;
  width: 100px;
}

The plugin is being triggered every time .scss file is saved.
