flask-sass
This project is not maintained and abandoned. Feel free to fork.
A small Flask extension that makes it easy to use Sass (SCSS) with your Flask application.
Why another one? Because Flask-Scss doesn't
compile @import
ed files, and I liked the simple way flask-coffee2js
compiled CoffeeScript files.
Code unabashedly adapted from https://github.com/weapp/flask-coffee2js.
Installation
Install with PIP
pip install git+https://github.com/imiric/flask-sass.git#egg=flask-sass
Usage
You can activate it by calling the sass
function with your Flask app as a parameter:
from flaskext.sass import sass
sass(app, input_dir='assets/scss', output_dir='static/css')
This will intercept the request for output_dir/*.css
and compile the file if it is
necesary using the files from input_dir/*.scss
.
When you deploy your app you might not want to accept the overhead of checking
the modification time of your .scss
and .css
files on each request. A
simple way to avoid this is wrapping the sass call in an if statement:
if app.debug:
from flaskext.sass import sass
sass(app)
If you do this you'll be responsible for rendering the .scss
files into
.css
when you deploy in non-debug mode to your production server.
