Paths in which to look for stylesheets loaded by rules like @use and @import.

A load path loadPath is equivalent to the following FileImporter:

{
  findFileUrl(url) {
    // Load paths only support relative URLs.
    if (/^[a-z]+:/i.test(url)) return null;
    return new URL(url, pathToFileURL(loadPath));
  }
}

Compatibility:

Dart Sass

since 1.54.0

▶

If true, the compiler may prepend @charset "UTF-8"; or U+FEFF (byte-order marker) if it outputs non-ASCII CSS.

If false, the compiler never emits these byte sequences. This is ideal when concatenating or embedding in HTML <style> tags. (The output will still be UTF-8.)

Default Value

true

Whether or not Sass should generate a source map. If it does, the source map will be available as sourceMap.

Default Value

false

Whether Sass should include the sources in the generated source map.

This option has no effect if sourceMap is false.

Default Value

false

The OutputStyle of the compiled CSS.

Example

const source = `
h1 {
  font-size: 40px;
  code {
    font-face: Roboto Mono;
  }
}`;

let result = sass.compileString(source, {style: "expanded"});
console.log(result.css.toString());
// h1 {
//   font-size: 40px;
// }
// h1 code {
//   font-face: Roboto Mono;
// }

result = sass.compileString(source, {style: "compressed"})
console.log(result.css.toString());
// h1{font-size:40px}h1 code{font-face:Roboto Mono}

Additional built-in Sass functions that are available in all stylesheets. This option takes an object whose keys are Sass function signatures like you'd write for the @function rule and whose values are CustomFunctions.

Functions are passed JavaScript representations of Sass value types, and must return the same.

When writing custom functions, it's important to make them as user-friendly and as close to the standards set by Sass's core functions as possible. Some good guidelines to follow include:

• Use Value.assert* methods, like assertString, to cast untyped Value objects to more specific types. For values that were passed directly as arguments, pass in the argument name as well. This ensures that the user gets good error messages when they pass in the wrong type to your function.

• Individual classes may have more specific assert* methods, like assertInt, which should be used when possible.

• In Sass, every value counts as a list. Rather than trying to detect the SassList type, you should use asList to treat all values as lists.

• When manipulating values like lists, strings, and numbers that have metadata (comma versus space separated, bracketed versus unbracketed, quoted versus unquoted, units), the output metadata should match the input metadata.

• When in doubt, lists should default to comma-separated, strings should default to quoted, and numbers should default to unitless.

• In Sass, lists and strings use one-based indexing and use negative indices to index from the end of value. Functions should follow these conventions. sassIndexToListIndex and sassIndexToStringIndex can be used to do this automatically.

• String indexes in Sass refer to Unicode code points while JavaScript string indices refer to UTF-16 code units. For example, the character U+1F60A SMILING FACE WITH SMILING EYES is a single Unicode code point but is represented in UTF-16 as two code units (0xD83D and 0xDE0A). So in JavaScript, "a😊b".charCodeAt(1) returns 0xD83D, whereas in Sass str-slice("a😊b", 1, 1) returns "😊". Functions should follow Sass's convention. sassIndexToStringIndex can be used to do this automatically, and the sassLength getter can be used to access a string's length in code points.

Example

sass.compileString(`
h1 {
  font-size: pow(2, 5) * 1px;
}`, {
  functions: {
    // Note: in real code, you should use `math.pow()` from the built-in
    // `sass:math` module.
    'pow($base, $exponent)': function(args) {
      const base = args[0].assertNumber('base').assertNoUnits('base');
      const exponent =
          args[1].assertNumber('exponent').assertNoUnits('exponent');

      return new sass.SassNumber(Math.pow(base.value, exponent.value));
    }
  }
});

Custom importers that control how Sass resolves loads from rules like @use and @import.

Loads are resolved by trying, in order:

• The importer that was used to load the current stylesheet, with the loaded URL resolved relative to the current stylesheet's canonical URL.

• Each Importer or FileImporter in importers, in order.

• Each load path in loadPaths, in order.

If none of these return a Sass file, the load fails and Sass throws an error.

If this is true, the compiler will exclusively use ASCII characters in its error and warning messages. Otherwise, it may use non-ASCII Unicode characters as well.

Default Value

false

If this is true, the compiler will use ANSI color escape codes in its error and warning messages. If it's false, it won't use these. If it's undefined, the compiler will determine whether or not to use colors depending on whether the user is using an interactive terminal.

An object to use to handle warnings and/or debug messages from Sass.

By default, Sass emits warnings and debug messages to standard error, but if warn or debug is set, this will invoke them instead.

The special value silent can be used to easily silence all messages.

If this option is set to true, Sass won’t print warnings that are caused by dependencies. A “dependency” is defined as any file that’s loaded through loadPaths or importers. Stylesheets that are imported relative to the entrypoint are not considered dependencies.

This is useful for silencing deprecation warnings that you can’t fix on your own. However, please also notify your dependencies of the deprecations so that they can get fixed as soon as possible!

Default Value

false

By default, Dart Sass will print only five instances of the same deprecation warning per compilation to avoid deluging users in console noise. If you set verbose to true, it will instead print every deprecation warning it encounters.

Default Value

false
