gulp-compass-justdigital v2.1.1

gulp-compass

Compile Sass to CSS using Compass

Requirements

gulp-compass requires the compass ruby gem in order to compile compass. This can easily be installed via Terminal.

$ gem update --system
$ gem install compass

Please refer the user guide

Installation

Install with npm

$ npm install gulp-compass --save-dev

Usage

Load config from config.rb

Please make sure to add css and sass options with the same value in config.rb since compass can't output css result directly.

• css default value is css.
• sass default value is sass.

var compass = require('gulp-compass');

gulp.task('compass', function() {
  gulp.src('./src/*.scss')
    .pipe(compass({
      config_file: './config.rb',
      css: 'stylesheets',
      sass: 'sass'
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('app/assets/temp'));
});

Load config without config.rb

set your project path.

var compass = require('gulp-compass'),
  path = require('path');

gulp.task('compass', function() {
  gulp.src('./src/*.scss')
    .pipe(compass({
      project: path.join(__dirname, 'assets'),
      css: 'css',
      sass: 'sass'
    }))
    .pipe(gulp.dest('app/assets/temp'));
});

set your compass settings.

var compass = require('gulp-compass'),
  minifyCSS = require('gulp-minify-css');

gulp.task('compass', function() {
  gulp.src('./src/*.scss')
    .pipe(compass({
      css: 'app/assets/css',
      sass: 'app/assets/sass',
      image: 'app/assets/images'
    }))
    .pipe(minifyCSS())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('app/assets/temp'));
});

Support multiple require option

var compass = require('gulp-compass'),
  minifyCSS = require('gulp-minify-css');

gulp.task('compass', function() {
  gulp.src('./src/*.scss')
    .pipe(compass({
      css: 'app/assets/css',
      sass: 'app/assets/sass',
      image: 'app/assets/images',
      require: ['susy', 'modular-scale']
    }))
    .pipe(minifyCSS())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('app/assets/temp'));
});

Support return the output of the Compass as the callback

var compass = require('gulp-compass'),
  minifyCSS = require('gulp-minify-css');

gulp.task('compass', function() {
  gulp.src('./src/*.scss')
    .pipe(compass({
      css: 'app/assets/css',
      sass: 'app/assets/sass',
      image: 'app/assets/images'
    }))
    .on('error', function(error) {
      // Would like to catch the error here
      console.log(error);
      this.emit('end');
    })
    .pipe(minifyCSS())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('app/assets/temp'));
});

gulp-compass with gulp-plumber

var compass = require('gulp-compass'),
  plumber = require('gulp-plumber'),
  minifyCSS = require('gulp-minify-css');

gulp.task('compass', function() {
  gulp.src('./src/*.scss')
    .pipe(plumber({
      errorHandler: function (error) {
        console.log(error.message);
        this.emit('end');
    }}))
    .pipe(compass({
      css: 'app/assets/css',
      sass: 'app/assets/sass',
      image: 'app/assets/images'
    }))
    .on('error', function(err) {
      // Would like to catch the error here
    })
    .pipe(minifyCSS())
    .pipe(gulp.dest('app/assets/temp'));
});
