sass-module-importer

Simple importer for node-sass to import npm and bower modules.

Say good-bye to all the mess with relative paths on your Sass files.
You can now import your Sass/SCSS modules by referencing to the module name, like this:

1@import "sass-easing";
2@import "quantum-colors";
3@import "inuit-defaults";
4@import "inuit-functions";
5@import "inuit-mixins";
6@import "inuit-box-sizing";
7@import "inuit-normalize";
8@import "inuit-page";
9// :)

Just for comparison, look at this mess:

1@import "node_modules/sass-easing/_easings.scss";
2@import "bower_components/quantum-colors/_quantum-colors.scss";
3@import "bower_components/inuit-defaults/settings.defaults";
4@import "bower_components/inuit-functions/tools.functions";
5@import "bower_components/inuit-mixins/tools.mixins";
6@import "bower_components/inuit-normalize/generic.normalize";
7@import "bower_components/inuit-box-sizing/generic.box-sizing";
8@import "bower_components/inuit-page/base.page";
9// :(

Assuming that the external library you are installing fits under one of those categories:

1. Set a SCSS/Sass/CSS file on the "main" field of their package.json/bower.json
2. Set a SCSS/Sass/CSS file on the "style" field of their package.json/bower.json
3. Have a index.css file on the root of their module

This tool it will also inline CSS files for you, since Sass cannot import plain CSS files yet. So if the dependency you are using exports a CSS file, it will work too.

How-to

install

1npm install sass-module-importer --save-dev

use the importer with node-sass >= v3.0.0

1import sass from 'node-sass';
2import moduleImporter from 'sass-module-importer';
3
4sass.render({
5  file: './source/css/app.scss',
6  importer: moduleImporter()
7}, cb);

use the importer with gulp-sass

1import gulp from 'gulp';
2import sass from 'gulp-sass';
3import moduleImporter from 'sass-module-importer';
4
5gulp.task('style', () => {
6  return gulp.src('./source/css/app.scss')
7    .pipe(sass({ importer: moduleImporter() }))
8    .pipe(gulp.dest('./public/css'));
9});

import partials

If you need to import partials from your external module, just use the path for the partial you want to import. To import the following file:

node_modules/module-name/folder/to/_file.scss

Import like this anywhere:

1@import "module-name/folder/to/_file.scss"

Options

You can pass any option supported by node-resolve directly, like this:

1moduleImporter({ basedir: path.join(__dirname, 'another-folder') });

Tests

Use npm test to run the tests.
