Sass / SCSS	Hugo Pipes allows the processing of Sass and SCSS files.	2018-07-14	2018-07-14	asset management		docs parent weight pipes 30	02	02

Any Sass or SCSS file can be transformed into a CSS file using resources.ToCSS which takes two arguments, the resource object and a map of options listed below.

{{ $sass := resources.Get "sass/main.scss" }}
{{ $style := $sass | resources.ToCSS }}

Options

transpiler [string]

The transpiler to use, valid values are libsass (default) and dartsass. If you want to use Hugo with Dart Sass you need to download a release binary from Embedded Dart Sass and make sure it's in your PC's $PATH (or %PATH% on Windows).

targetPath [string]

If not set, the resource's target path will be the asset file original path with its extension replaced by .css.

outputStyle [string]

Default is nested (LibSass) and expanded (Dart Sass). Other available output styles for LibSass are expanded, compact and compressed. Dart Sass only supports expanded and compressed.

precision [int]

Precision of floating point math. Note: This option is not supported by Dart Sass.

enableSourceMap [bool]

When enabled, a source map will be generated.

sourceMapIncludeSources [bool]

When enabled, sources will be embedded in the generated source map. (Dart Sass only). {{< new-in "0.108.0" >}}

includePaths [string slice]

Additional SCSS/Sass include paths. Paths must be relative to the project directory.

{{ $options := (dict "targetPath" "style.css" "outputStyle" "compressed" "enableSourceMap" (not hugo.IsProduction) "includePaths" (slice "node_modules/myscss")) }}
{{ $style := resources.Get "sass/main.scss" | resources.ToCSS $options }}

{{% note %}} Setting outputStyle to compressed will handle Sass/SCSS files minification better than the more generic [resources.Minify]({{< ref "minification">}}). {{% /note %}}
