oh, I guess that's a unicode character to convey UTF-16 encoding?

@alexobviously You're looking for the cli_pkgpackage: https://pub.dev/packages/cli_pkg

it's got a lot of docs but if you need any help with it lmk, I wrote it

@TheJaredWilcurt that's a Byte-Order Mark, it basically does the same thing as @charset "utf-8"

Hi everybody

Where are all the versions of Sass?

The Jared Wilcurt

@TheJaredWilcurt

what a vague question

Alessandro Russo

@Alessandroinfo

I need to see for every Sass version the related features available.

Hello everyone!

I made something for Sass projects which I think could be useful to others :)

Sass currently doesn’t have up-to-date linter or error reporter, so I wanted to integrate it with current industry standard linter (Stylelint), so I made plugin which reports Sass errors and depractions as linter errors: https://github.com/niksy/stylelint-sass-render-errors

It’s based on other tool which is used to extract those information from Sass rendering process: https://github.com/niksy/sass-render-errors

Besides reporting errors and deprecations from render result, it can (optionally) check for undefined functions based on current native CSS functions.

Hope this helps you and others in better project maintenance :)

And, as always, suggestions are welcome! :)

That's really cool! @niksy I'll check this out.

My project Uniform CSS has also officially launched as well! This project is a fully customizable utility generator and CSS framework for Sass to compete against Tachyon, BassCSS, and Tailwind!

Apart from having full control over how you can generate utility classes, it has other cool features like, API Functions, Apply support, JSON Reference output mode, and multi-property custom utility support. Please check it out: https://uniformcss.com

Hello! Is it possible to use container queries with SASS?

The Jared Wilcurt

@TheJaredWilcurt

you mean the thing nothing supports? https://caniuse.com/css-container-queries

It's still in proposal state, yeah, it looks like it gets processed correctly in both LibSass and DartSass
INPUT:

.sidebar
  container-type: inline-size
  container-name: sidebar

@container sidebar (min-width: 700px)
  .card
    display: grid
    grid-template-columns: 2fr 1fr

OUTPUT:

.sidebar {
  container-type: inline-size;
  container-name: sidebar;
}

@container sidebar (min-width: 700px) {
  .card {
    display: grid;
    grid-template-columns: 2fr 1fr;
  }
}

Yep, that's exactly what I meant. Thanks for the answer!

Is there a way to have a nested meta.load-css such that the parent is directly prepended? In other words, some .parent { @include } which produces .parent.child rather than .parent .child.

Ingo Bürk

@Airblader

That is, of course, assuming I cannot modify the included file which declares .child {}.

The Jared Wilcurt

@TheJaredWilcurt

it looks like what you want is selector.append. How you combine that with @import or @use is beyond me though

Ingo Bürk

@Airblader

Yeah, the problem is mostly that I cannot really combine the selectors. It may well be impossible.

The Jared Wilcurt

@TheJaredWilcurt

The intuitive thing would be:

.parent {
    &@import 'file';
}

@use 'file' prefixed by '.example';

though neither of those intuitive options are built in to the language

The Jared Wilcurt

@TheJaredWilcurt

Also, where the .parent gets placed isn't always where you'd expect when nesting an import anyway. So prefixing via Sass may not be what you want.

Ingo Bürk

@Airblader

I think the placement issue is solved by using meta.load-css instead of import. But that's moot anyway since it doesnt seem to be possible.

can anyone suggest where I can go to find someone to help me with ongoing css/sass projects?

Hi everyone. Is SASS transpiled into CSS in the server-side?

@artart37

Hi everyone. Is SASS transpiled into CSS in the server-side?

I understand that yes, it is, but would be great having a confirmation and a bit of more insight into this

The Jared Wilcurt

@TheJaredWilcurt

Sass, not SASS. It is a meta-language, generally, during development, every time you save a .sass or .scss file they are automatically processed to CSS. Then the CSS file(s) will be stored as a static file on the server, not server-side rendered

however, you can do server-side processing, or client-side, but that is very rare

@artart37

You can use a sass processor tool during development. If you are not very technical, https://Scout-App.io is the easiest (download, unzip, double-click to run, then drag your project in and click one button)

If you are more experienced with frontend and use npm and build tools like Vite, Webpack, Gulp, etc there are plugins for those tools to process Sass

or you can npm install --save-dev sass and follow the documentation to do it by hand

Some text editors/IDE's even have Sass processing built in or available as a plugin

@artart37

Hi @TheJaredWilcurt . Thank you for your insight in to this matter. I am trying to understand how it works under the hood. Another question what this line from Sass's website means: "Dart Sass is the primary implementation of Sass, which means it gets new features before any other implementation. It's fast, easy to install, and it compiles to pure JavaScript which makes it easy to integrate into modern web development workflows". Does this mean that Dart Sass is compiled to pure JavaScript which can be used as a dev dependency package and in turn transpile the input sass or scss file to css?

P.S. Sorry for the late response.

Sass was created in 2006 by Hampton Catlin. He wrote it in Ruby. Over time new people... ya know what,I have slides for this. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1Zg9987Po-9Ds_WGuHwuF9OeeMedhEISAtDhwWcIhiBg/edit#slide=id.g3b52de659a_1_46
