How to #import .css file as a .scss file in sass? - css

I am using gulp as a task runner which merge and minifying scss files for me. In this case if I try to import a regular CSS file, it will compile to a css import statement as below:
/* style.scss */
#import "../../bower_components/animate.css/animate.css";
/* style.css */
#import url(../../bower_components/animate.css/animate.css);
So how to import that regular css file, to have a compiled version of that in the style.css instead of just css #import statement?

Simply do this:
/* style.scss */
#import "../../bower_components/animate.css/animate";
Just don't write file extension, Import the file without the extension, the compiler will put the file content in style.css instead of putting #import rule.

possible to import SASS file in SCSS?

styles.scss
#import 'packages/bulma.sass';
bulma.sass
#charset "utf-8"
/*! bulma.io v0.6.1 | MIT License | github.com/jgthms/bulma */
#import "sass/utilities/_all"
#import "sass/base/_all"
#import "sass/elements/_all"
#import "sass/components/_all"
#import "sass/grid/_all"
#import "sass/layout/_all"
terminal
'Error: client/packages/bulma.sass.scss doesn\'t exist!
Is it possible to import SASS into a SCSS file? What is the best way to install bulma into a scss env.
I also tried #import 'packages/bulma' and get client/packages/bulma.scss doesn\'t exist!.
tl;dr can you try removing the .sass extension?
#import 'packages/bulma';
More detailed answer from this post:
The Sass #import directive extends the CSS #import rule so that it works with .scss and .sass files. It imports the file referenced and any variables or mixins that are defined in the imported file so they can be used in the main file.
#import "typography.scss";
Assuming there’s a file typography.scss in the current directory, the contents of typography.scss will replace the #import statement.
Sass makes it even simpler. If you forget to include the extension, it will look for a file with the same name and either a .scss or .sass extension.
#import "typography";
The statement above would find either typography.scss or typography.sass in the same directory as the file importing the typography styles.
#Hector is right, just wanted to add some other things.
What is valid is covered by the language docs https://sass-lang.com/documentation/file.SASS_REFERENCE.html#import so the double import might be a node-sass bug, but the extension behaviour is going to warn in the next version of Sass AFAIK. Libsass runs through a sass2scss library to transpile the "unsupported" old .sass to .scss.
Remove the leading _ from the imports, those aren't valid
use #import "../node_modules/bulma/bulma.sass"; instead of #import 'packages/bulma.sass';
It will not throw any error. For more information, you can go through this link

SCSS Loader DEPRECATION WARNING

I using scss in my project to import scss files.
For example I have file with variables (that using everywhere in my project)
And I have desktop.scss for importing files into it
Like this
#import 'variables';
#import 'desktop/_style';
#import 'desktop/index';
#import 'desktop/step_1';
#import 'desktop/step_2';
#import 'desktop/step_3';
#import 'desktop/step_4';
According to this issue
Link
It will be deprecated.
But what I can use instead of it?
Any suggestions?
This issue is only about importing CSS into a SCSS file. From your code I assume, that you only use SCSS Files, so you won't have a problem with that in future.

Can't identification variable on partial files that import by partial files

When I import partial files on style.scss. It's working fine. All variables working fine.
style.scss
#import 'base/variable';
//Component
#import 'component/menubar';
#import 'component/menubar-mascot';
#import 'component/menubar-count';
#import 'component/menubar-button';
But when I try to merge menubar scss partial files, like this
style.scss
#import 'base/variable';
//Component
#import 'component/menubar';
menubar.scss
#import 'menubar-mascot';
#import 'menubar-count';
#import 'menubar-button';
The variable on variable.scss it cannot readable, but when I import again the variable.scss on menubar.scss, like this
menubar.scss
#import '../base/variable';
#import 'menubar-mascot';
#import 'menubar-count';
#import 'menubar-button';
it's working fine, why? and how to fix this without import again the variables.scss on menubar.scss?
I assume menubar-mascot is located where you ran the sass command.
For some reason absolute path in nested imports doesn't seem to be found.
#import 'menubar-mascot';
#import 'menubar-count';
#import 'menubar-button';
However if you use a relative one it does find it. So relative to your bundle scss file you can do:
#import '../menubar-mascot';
#import '../menubar-count';
#import '../menubar-button';
Thus it will go back from component folder back to the root and find the correct files.

BundleTransformer: CSS not bundled through #import directive

We are using the BundleTransformer in our ASP.NET MVC project to bundle our style files.
This works great, but we noticed that some CSS files are not bundled with our LESS files when we important them in LESS with the #import CSS at-rule.
Sample in our root LESS file:
/* Import core LESS files */
#import "../core.less";
/* Import jQuery UI stuff*/
#import "../themes/base/core.css";
#import "../themes/base/resizable.css";
#import "../themes/base/accordion.css";
#import "../themes/base/tabs.css";
/* Import more LESS files */
#import "../morestyles.less";
If we look at the files that are downloaded from Chrome, it is clear that the CSS files are not bundled with the root LESS files.
Naturally, we could simply include these CSS files in the BundleConfig and remove the #import calls, but I was just curious to see if there is a way to have them bundled together.
You should read http://lesscss.org/features/#import-options.
In your code #import "../themes/base/tabs.css"; compiles into #import "../themes/base/tabs.css"; (due to the .css extension). Which is a "normal" CSS import, CSS imports require an additional HTTP request to load.
You can use the inline option:
#import (inline) "../themes/base/tabs.css";
The above inlines the code from tabs.css into your project file without processing it.

How to prevent SASS from merging files included via #import?

Is it possible to prevent SASS from merging files included via #import?
For development, i would like to maintain the references of the original CSS (in my setup compiled from SASS already).
The docs for the #import rule says that:
All imported SCSS and Sass files will be merged together into a single CSS output file.
And explain that there is some 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.
The following rules will tell SASS to merge imported files:
#import "foo.scss";
#import "foo";
The following rules will tell SASS to NOT merge imported files:
#import "foo.css";
#import "foo" screen;
#import "http://foo.com/bar";
#import url(foo);
