About this module

About Syntactically Awesome Stylesheets (SASS)

Sass makes CSS fun again. Sass is an extension of CSS3, adding nested rules, variables, mixins, selector inheritance, and more. It’s translated to well-formatted, standard CSS using the command line tool or a web-framework plugin.

You can find out more at http://sass-lang.com.

Key features of this module

• Allows a module or themes to define patterns or tokens to search for in a SASS / SCSS file and provide a replacement for any matches against that pattern / token automatically.
• Tokens cover 90% of use cases, allowing you to write something like @token('background-color', '#fff') in your SASS / SCSS stylesheet and have it replaced by a PHP callback that could potentially fetch the value from a theme setting or user profile field while defaulting to #fff if the return value is NULL.
• Patterns are more complex - A module or theme can provide a proper regex pattern to match against instead of just a token key. This allows much broader changes to the source, such as rewriting URLs to a CDN, or replacing css-based gradients with generated images.

Requirements

This module depends on the Sassy module for parsing SASS / SCSS stylesheets.
