[Extension] Yii-Sass - Sass (Scss) And Compass Support

Yii 1.1 Extensions
1

I developed this extension which allows you to use Sass (SCSS) and Compass easily in your Yii projects:

http://www.yiiframework.com/extension/sass/

Extension can do the following:

  • compile SCSS files on-the-fly

  • publish compiled CSS files

  • register published CSS files

External Sass tools are NOT used, compilation is done using PHP compiler.

This extension caches compiled CSS code and prevents recompilation if there is no need in it.

A few words about Sass and Compass:

Sass is an extension of CSS that adds power and elegance to the basic language. It allows you to use variables, nested rules, mixins, inline imports, and more, all with a fully CSS-compatible syntax. Sass helps keep large stylesheets well-organized, and get small stylesheets up and running quickly.

Compass is an open-source CSS authoring framework which uses the Sass stylesheet language to make writing stylesheets powerful and easy.

Feel free to post your thoughts and comments!

how to use


compass watch

Another question, why it always create hex folder without deleting the existing one.

How can I modify the output path folder?

Sarath.U, yii-sass doesn’t use original compass compiler.

If you want to use compass watch then you should configure your application separately.

But it doesn’t make much sense to use both: yii-sass and compass, you probably want to choose one tool.

A new directory is created for new version of files to avoid caching issues.

The output directory is controlled by Yii assetManager, you should configure it accordingly if you want to use another directory.

technokid, one of the solutions in your case is to explicitly update directory permissions to allow writing into it
