Description
A near-feature-complete Sass compiler written purely in Rust

grass
This crate aims to provide a high level interface for compiling Sass into plain CSS. It offers a very limited API, currently exposing only 2 functions.
In addition to a library, also included is a binary that is intended to act as an invisible replacement to the Sass commandline executable.
This crate aims to achieve complete feature parity with the
dart-sassreference implementation. A deviation from the
dart-sassimplementation can be considered a bug except for in the following situations:
- Error messages
- Error spans
- Certain aspects of the indented syntax
- Potentially others in the future
Status
grasshas reached a stage where one can be quite confident in its output. For the average user there should not be perceptible differences from
dart-sass.
Every commit of
grassis tested against bootstrap v5.0.2, and every release is tested against the last 2,500 commits of bootstrap's
mainbranch.
That said, there are a number of known missing features and bugs. The notable features remaining are
indented syntax @forward and more complex uses of @use @at-root and @import media queries @media query merging / as a separator in color functions, e.g. rgba(255, 255, 255 / 0) Infinity and -Infinity builtin meta function `keywords`
All known missing features and bugs are tracked in #19.
grassis not a drop-in replacement for
libsassand does not intend to be. If you are upgrading to
grassfrom
libsass, you may have to make modifications to your stylesheets, though these changes should not differ from those you would have to make if upgrading to
dart-sass.
Web Assembly
grassexperimentally releases a WASM version of the library to npm, compiled using wasm-bindgen. To use
grassin your JavaScript projects, just run
npm install @connorskees/grassto your package.json. Better documentation for this version will be provided when the library becomes more stable.
Features
commandline
(enabled by default): build a binary using clap
random
(enabled by default): enable the builtin functions
random([$limit])and
unique-id()
In the future this feature will be removed when it is no longer necessary to rely on
randfor random numbers.
Testing
As much as possible this library attempts to follow the same philosophy for testing as
rust-analyzer. Namely, all one should have to do is run
cargo testto run all its tests. This library maintains a test suite distinct from the
sass-spec, though it does include some spec tests verbatim. This has the benefit of allowing tests to be run without ruby as well as allowing the tests more granular than they are in the official spec.
Having said that, to run the official test suite,
git clone https://github.com/connorskees/grass --recursive cd grass cargo b --release ./sass-spec/sass-spec.rb -c './target/release/grass'
Note: you will have to install ruby, bundler and run
bundle installin
./sass-spec/. This might also require you to install the requirements separately for curses.
Alternatively, it is possible to use nodejs to run the spec,
# This script expects node >=v14.14.0. Check version with `node --version` git clone https://github.com/connorskees/grass --recursive cd grass && cargo b --release cd sass-spec && npm install npm run sass-spec -- --command '../target/release/grass'
These numbers come from a default run of the Sass specification as shown above.
