I'm trying to customize the design of my ionic app, I don't know much about SASS, but based upon my research, most people have suggested or are customizing the defaults of ionic through the scss files. Since I don't know much about SASS, I was wondering if its safe to make changes to ionic's defaults through the ionic.css file.
Yes it is "safe" as long as you plan to never use sass! If you use sass it will overwrite what's in the ionic.css file.
Having said that, you should really just use sass as it will make your life a lot easier. You don't need to learn anything new to use sass because writing normal css in a sass file will work just fine.
You can then add bits of sass as you progress and pick them up.

I found MS DOC about Css in razor. But it isn't work with Scss file.
I resolve this problem by creating two files: css and scss. And use sass --watch. But I need write this every time, when creating new component.
Unfortunately SASS is not supported for CSS Isolation feature of Blazor. At least, not at this moment.
In our project, we use CSS Isolation for the CSS component isolation feature, but we use SASS files to manage our theme, for style we want accros the application.
That being said, if you really need some SASS for an unique component, you totally can, by adding for example a wrapper with a specified id, and use this id in your scss file, with a dedicated name for it, for example MyComponent.scss.
In addition, I've found this article, but I preferred to not use it because it is a bit heavy to setup, but up to you: https://joren-thijs.medium.com/how-to-add-scss-support-to-blazor-cd2a62995441
You can use AspNetCore.SassCompiler which supports both normal and isolated scss. I believe it has a watch mode when using Blazor Server, WASM is not supported yet.
It can also do minification with source mapping.
I am using a wordpress theme and it has both style.css and style.scss. I want to make changes in the styling and I was wondering which file I need to edit? Both, style.css or style.scss?
Thanks in advance.
Information Sass
CSS on its own can be fun, but stylesheets are getting larger, more
complex, and harder to maintain. This is where a preprocessor can
help. Sass lets you use features that don't exist in CSS yet like
variables, nesting, mixins, inheritance and other nifty goodies that
make writing CSS fun again.
Once you start tinkering with Sass, it will take your preprocessed
Sass file and save it out as a normal CSS file that you can use in
your web site.
Answer
You need to edit the style.scss and then generate the style.css.
Once you started using sass oder less you'll never go back to css or regret it!

I'm new to Cakephp and I have been developing a website for my client. I'm not satisfied with the look of the website and I've been trying to figure out how to use Bootstrap with Cakephp. I have been introduced to Sass and it seems like this is a great way to write css. So I want to use Bootstrap-sass. But after seraching a lot I still cannot find a good tutorial on how to approach this matter. Most of the tutorials are for Ruby on Rails with Bootstrap even the official Bootstrap-sass Github page https://github.com/twbs/bootstrap-sass
I would be gratful if someone could guide me through this or if this is not the way to go, which Bootstrap should I use If I want to have the sass functionality as well.
Also there is another doubt that I have:
Is it possible to overwrite Bootstrap css without using LESS or SASS?
That is more than one question.
SASS and CakePHP, easy. First of all, understand there are 2 SASS dialects. Original SASS tries to use the minimum of characters and is indent-sensitieve like Python. SASS 3 brought SCSS, which is more like CSS on steroids and easier to use. Then - outside of Ruby - you need a SASS compiler. SCOUT for SASS - Windows and Mac - is dead simple and does the job. You indicate your source SCSS folder, sits in webroot in my CakePHP, a target folder, the CakePHP CSS folder and a temp folder sitting in CakePHP/tmp for me. That is all it takes, save a SCSS file and Scout watches this and generates the CSS.
Bootstrap. Not easy to integrate in CakePHP templates. Additionally it uses some questionable JavaScript. Take a look at Compass, the same thing integrated in Scout.
If you want Bootstrap for a responsive grid, use SimpleGrid instead. As the name says simple and CSS only. Drupal is based on it.
Remember SCSS is a CSS superset; copy your CSS to your SCSS folder and start adding to it.
Good luck, André Hartman, Belgium.
As stated by Rob Dodson, style tags are now unavoidable with Web Components. I am trying to find a way to use LESS with this new tecnhology without having to paste the compiled CSS in my HTML document everytime I change something in the LESS file . Is there anyway to achieve that?
I am using Polymer.
Thanks!

You can make the client compile the LESS to CSS , you should definitely take a look at this :
http://lesscss.org/#client-side-usage
It is advised to compile it yourself to css in a production environment though !
Doing this client-side hardly seems like the corrent solution, especially at scale. For instance, do you really want 1000 web components in your app all including LessCSS and compiling on the client side?
Just compile server-side and include the compiled version in your html import. Apps like DocPad, make this a lot easier. For instance:
src/documents/components/my-component/my-component.css.less is your source file, and is compiled to out/components/my-component/my-component.css, which is accessible at /compoennt/my-component/my-component.css.
We use this workflow to also make use of javascript pre-processors like coffeescript, as well as post-processors like css auto prefixer, and bundlers like Browserify. See: https://stackoverflow.com/a/23050527/130638 for more info.
Simply compile your less and embed the generated CSS file via good old link tag.
I don't think that rob wanted to say that using style tags is the only way to go. You can still link to external stylesheets as you always did.
Why don´t you compile on server side using php compiler? Have a look here - http://leafo.net/lessphp/ -
To let you know, i´m using this compiler on my projects, on the server side without any kind of problems!!!!!!! :) IMO, it´s better to have the compilation work on the server side. I´m not totally 100% sure, but i think IE8 don´t recognize text/less
The way I have done this before is have individual .less or .scss file for each component and have it compile into the individual .css file which is then called into the respective component file. and finally vulcanize everything into a single file.
Incase you want to use a single CSS file, then use //deep// combinator or ::shadow pseudo elements in the CSS.
If you able to create the custom elements without using ShadowDOM then you can simply have all your less merge into a single CSS.
Honestly speaking I was unable to create a wc without shadowDOM in polymer. There is a long conversation on github on enabling / disabling and hacking a way to create a wc without shadowDOM here https://github.com/Polymer/polymer/issues/222
One solution would be to have the preprocessor translate .less files into .css and then linking them inside Polymer components, like explained in the official documentation: https://www.polymer-project.org/1.0/docs/devguide/styling#external-stylesheets
Unfortunately this is deprecated. So the other way to go could be to have another step that wraps the preprocessor-generated css files with a dom-module: this way you can follow the Polymer way including the style module inside your components, or using the css file compiled from less if you do things outside Polymer components.
I'm using Gulp for my build process and I found this module very useful:
https://github.com/MaKleSoft/gulp-style-modules
It creates, for every .less file I have in my sources, an .html file with a dom-module wrapped around it, ready to be included in the components' styles.
Is there any library available around to manipulate CSS files like the Hpricot for HTML/XML etc.
I have a lot of CSS files for different theme, and sometime for a minor change I need to open each CSS file and make that change.
I want to do it programmatically, preferably in Ruby.
Thanks,
Imran
Have you taken a look at less or Sass? They probably aren't quite what you're looking for--but they are both languages that compile to CSS and use cleaner syntax and other benefits like variables.
