I was learning about Laravel Mix that allows us to compile Javascript and CSS files in our project. As I see, in resources/js folder, we can put all the javascript files that should be compiled and in resources/sass folder - all the css files. Using webpacker.mix.js, we import everything in app.js and app.scss but what I want to know is the following: Since, sass files are compiled into CSS, is it possible to import CSS files (and not SASS files) in app.scss? For example, to have this in app.scss:
#import ('css/style.css')
and not
#import ('css/style.scss')
?
Import is not a sass, but a plain css rule. You can use it to import normal css files, yes.

I have a simple Angular (13) application with Material.
I've created a CSS file that is meant for overriding some of the Material styles, and imported it into styles.scss. This import is the last line of this file.
Yet, none of the CSS definitions in the external file seem to actually override the existing styles from Material.
When I place these definitions directly in styles.scss, they work.
What is the difference between importing CSS definitions from a file and placing them directly, in this case? Am I missing something here?
To import css to an scss file, you should import it without the extension like this.
#import "path/to/file/file_name_without_extension"
If you import that with extension
#import "path/to/file/file_name.css"
it won't work as it gets translated to
#import url(path/to/file/file_name.css);
Merged PR from SASS repo: Implement raw css imports
I'm starting to work on a large application styling files. As Bootstrap 4 offers SASS files, I decided to follow that path.
I have built the following files structure:
theme.scss: general definitios for the theme like colors and fonts. Today there is just one but there could be more in the future.
global.scss: includes Bootstrap, some Bootstrap overrides and application componentes -i.e. a field with its label as part of the top border.
site.scss: general application styles.
additional page-specific SCSS files. I.e.: login.scss.
The problem I'm having is that global.scss -the one that imports Bootstrap- is then imported by site.scss as well as other files like page-specific SCSS files. So, Bootstrap styles end up in more than one compiled CSS. Compiled CSS files are what the application actually references.
I've previously used LESS and I could solve this using #import (reference) "bootstrap" instead of just plain #import "bootstrap". With SASS I haven't been able to find any solution to this problem without modifying Bootstrap core files.
Is there any other recommended way to organize the files and avoid this problem? Am I missing something or doing anything wrong?
Here are the files contents (they are large files but I'm posting only enough contents to show the problem I'm having):
theme.scss
$my-primary-color: #04459a;
global.scss
#import "../theme.scss";
$primary: $my-primary-color;
#import "../../third-party/bootstrap/scss/bootstrap.scss";
%field{
// [...]
}
site.scss
#import "global.scss";
div.field {
#extend %field;
}
// [...]
login.scss (or many other)
#import "global.scss";
// [...]
In the application I'm referencing site.css and login.css (in the loign page, of course) and both of them include Bootstrap styles.
I've built something that works for me, not sure if it's the best solution or which drawbacks it has, though.
I took some ideas from this article: My favored SCSS setup with Bootstrap 4. Here's what I've built:
First I created two SASS files for importing Bootstrap (similar to what the article does with bootstrap/_config.scss but splitted):
bootstrap/_sass-componentes.scss
#import "../../terceros/bootstrap/scss/_functions.scss";
#import "../../terceros/bootstrap/scss/_variables";
#import "../../terceros/bootstrap/scss/_mixins";
bootstrap/_config.scss
#import "_sass-componentes.scss";
// Every other bootstrap file I want to include:
#import "../../terceros/bootstrap/scss/_root";
#import "../../terceros/bootstrap/scss/_reboot";
#import "../../terceros/bootstrap/scss/_type";
// [...]
#import "../../terceros/bootstrap/scss/_utilities";
#import "../../terceros/bootstrap/scss/_print";
Then in global.scss I changed the bootstrap.scss import line to import only bootstrap/_sass-componentes.scss
Finally, in site.scss I included global.scss (such as it was before) and then full Bootstrap files trough bootstrap/_config.scss. **
** After importing _config.scss I also import my Bootstrap customizations. For doing them I followed the recomendation of the linked article although they do not apply directly to my own question.
This is my first time working with Scss, although I have run the command in terminal to convert a simple input.sass to output.css in the case of other libraries, it seems a little bit difficult, since it's new to me.
I have a profile with index.html which should require a style.css, but I need this style.css to be generated from Bulma directory which is currently in this format:
index.html
vendors
bulma
css
bulma.css
bulma.css.map
sass
base
_all.sass
generic.sass
helpers.sass
minireset.sass
components
elements
grid
layout
utitlities
bulma.sass
The problem here is that, unlike the sass input.scss output.css example which converts Scss files to CSS, the above seems complicated.
I don't know which file to convert, or if I should alter the Sass file and modify them but do I save the output in individual CSS file or one master style...
in every sass directory such as base, components and so on, they all have _all.sass file. which include all of the files in that directory. So, all you need is to include one _all.sass file from every folder within sass folder.
So in your sass file, that you will watch with sass gem, make includes for all fo the _all.sass.
Something like this would work.
#import "utilities/_all"
#import "base/_all"
#import "elements/_all"
#import "components/_all"
#import "grid/_all"
#import "ayout/_all"
Also, I am not 100% sure, but I think it is a bad idea to mix sass with scss, so my advice would be to do something like this:
In your sass folder of your project create a sass file and name it styles.sass. In that file write imports to all the _all.sass files.
And then just go do this in the terminal: sass --watch sass:css
Although I know CSS file is a valid SCSS
but there is some reason ，so I can't change some files subfix to SCSS
global_min.scss
#import url("global/reset.css")
#import url("global/frameset.css");
#import url("global/header.css");
....
....
Can sass or compass merge it (´･_･`)
You can try the Sass CSS importer plugin, by Chris Eppstein himself :)
http://sass-lang.com/docs/yardoc/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#import
#import takes a filename to import. By default, it looks for a Sass
file to import directly, but there are a few circumstances under which
it will compile to a CSS #import rule:
If the file’s extension is .css.
If the filename begins with http://.
If the filename is a url().
If the #import has any media queries.
If none of the above conditions are met and the extension is .scss or
.sass, then the named Sass or SCSS file will be imported.
You can't do that with SASS without renaming the CSS files.
I suggest that you use some kind of CSS compressor to concatenate and minify your CSS code. Please have a look at Yeoman, currently the most solid approach to handling this kind of tasks.
If you want to merge all css files into a single compiled css file, you need to change their extension to sass or scss and make the changes to be compatible with that format.
All I need is to do is have a directory with my custom reset sheets and other sass files for imports.
I've been playing around and I can't get compass to read my custom sheets.
1) Where do I put my custom css sheets for import?
2) how do I #import them
(I'm using the sass indentation, but I doubt that makes a difference,)
(I know little about ruby I'm just using it for compass)
Thanks
Look at the #import section in Sass reference.
You can import a Sass file without telling explicitly the file extension:
#import "file"; /*will import file.scss or file.sass. Anyway you could as well use #import "file.scss" or #import "file.sass*/
To import a CSS, provide its extension.
#import "file.css"; /*will import file.css"
There are more ways to differentiate them in the reference, but these are the most used.
You can put your files where you want, but write the path relative to the current directory (the directory which the file from where you are importing is).
