Here is my _custom.scss:
// Bootstrap overrides
//
// Copy variables from `_variables.scss` to this file to override default values
// without modifying source files.
//$body-bg: $gray-dark;
//$body-color: $gray-light;
$blue: #363636;
$component-active-bg: #484545;
$dropdown-bg: $brand-primary;
$dropdown-link-color: #c3c3c3;
$dropdown-link-hover-color: darken(#c3c3c3, 5%);
and bootstrap.scss:
// Core variables and mixins
#import "variables";
#import "mixins";
#import "_custom";
I am compiling it with the provided Gruntfile.js.
The resultant css file has no effect. Everything looks just like with the original css.
How can I test whether I am getting compilation process actually working?
Thanks
From the format of boostrap.scss I think you should have:
#import "custom";
Next, when you make your changes in _custom.scss, leave off the "!default" tag. For example:
// _variables.css
$blue: #0275d8 !default;
/// _custom.css
$blue: #002b5b;

How can I Include .scss file in another .scss file?
I was trying to write this in a file:
app.scss:
#include('buttons');
#include('dropzone');
body {
background: $primaryColor;
overflow-x: hidden; /*Clip the left/right edges of the content inside the <div> element - if it overflows the element's content area: */
height: 100%; /* Cover all (100%) of the container for the body with its content */
padding-top: 70px;
} /* more css code here */
and it returns an error : invalid css after #import
I try to include 2 other scss files inside the main scss file, so it will be all compiled to one css file eventually. How is it possible?
You can import it like this;
#import "../../_variables";
#import "../_mixins";
#import "_main";
#import "_login";
#import "_exception";
#import "_utils";
#import "_dashboard";
#import "_landing";
According to your directories and it will do what you want.
You can include a partial by doing this:
#import "partial";
The imported file needs an underscore, so sass will recognize it to be included: _partial.scss
You can use #use rule for it. This rule loads another Sass file as a module, which means you can refer to its variables, mixins, and functions in your Sass file with a namespace based on the filename. Using a file will also include the CSS it generates in your compiled output!
// _base.scss
$font-stack: Helvetica, sans-serif;
$primary-color: #333;
body {
font: 100% $font-stack;
color: $primary-color;
}
see how to using #use 'base'; in the styles.scss file
// styles.scss
#use 'base';
.inverse {
background-color: base.$primary-color;
color: white;
}
you don't need to include the file extension.
#osherdo You have no need to add !important for overwriting bootstrap CSS.
body
{
background: #4d94ff; /* Use to override Bootstrap css settings. */
}
First of you need to verify from where bootstrap is rendering on the page and what is the weight of the bootstrap CSS file. After that you can place your 'css/app.css' file after bootstrap then it will work. Then you can easily overwrite the entire bootstrap CSS.
Ok, so it appears to be that my app.scss file collide with Bootstrap.css file.
Because I wanted the app.scss background property to apply, instead of the bootstrap css file. I've added !important in this property to override bootstrap style.:
body
{
background: #4d94ff !important; /* Used to override Bootstrap css settings. */
}
Also, gulpfile.js has been updated to suite my needs accordingly:
var elixir = require('laravel-elixir');
elixir(function (mix) {
mix.sass('app.scss', 'resources/assets/css')
.styles([
'app.css'
], 'public/css/app.css');
mix.version([
'css/app.css'
]);
});
And that's how I fixed it.
For example:
main.scss
#import "variables";
#import "page";
_variables.scss
$color-a: #FFFFFF;
_page.scss
div.test {
background: $color-a;
}
Or does variables have to be imported on every sheet that wants to use a variable from it?
Currently, I'm getting Error: Undefined variable: "$color-a"
Edit I should add that I'm using sassc to compile the files in a clojure project:
:sass {:sass-file "main.scss"
:source-maps false
:output-style "compressed"
:output-dir "css/"}}
I have theme.scss SCSS file which contains something like that
// global variables
#import "variables";
// SCSS placeholders
#import "placeholders";
// basic HTML styles - links etc.
#import "basic";
// default layout styles
#import "layout";
/* COMPONENTS */
#import "components/layout/header"; // top page header
#import "components/layout/heading"; // main page heading
//etc. etc. a lot of another components
And it generates one output CSS file. Now I need to generate 3 different color themes (differenet CSS files). So I've created 3 SCSS files theme1.scss, theme2.scss and theme3.scss. They have the same content with only one difference:
#import "variables";
Variables will be specific for each theme. Yeah, everything works. But everytime I need to create another theme, I'll need to create another SCSS file and copy-paste whole includes from previous theme file. Is there any way how can I create my theme1.scss, theme2.scss, theme3.scss without creating 3 duplicated files?
You couldn't do it with #mixin, currently Import directives not working inside mixin becuuse of this issue https://github.com/sass/sass/issues/451
#mixin apply-theme($theme) {
#if $theme == 'red' {
#import 'variables-red';
} #else if $theme == 'green'{
#import 'variables-green';
} #else{
#import 'variables-defaults';
}
}
So currently you can do with it
$theme:'red';
#if $theme == 'red' {
#import 'variables-red';
} #else if $theme == 'green'{
#import 'variables-green';
} #else{
#import 'variables-defaults';
}
I want to use SASS in a modular way. In the code segment below you can see a way I consider organizing some of the layouts of a page.
What I have in mind is the external variables in languages like C.
// file: some_page.scss
//
// I want some variables from the fonts, colors partials
// to be visible to the buttons partial
// Is it possible?
// error: _buttons.scss (Line X: Undefined variable: "$color_blue")
#import "colors"
#import "fonts"
#import "buttons"
// in file: _colors.scss
$color_blue: blue;
// in file: _buttons.scss
.button {
background-color: $color_blue;
}
Yes, that's how it works.
As long as _colors.scss is imported before the other files.
You can check out the port of Twitter Bootstrap to Sass here: https://github.com/thomas-mcdonald/bootstrap-sass it uses variables in a similar fashion.
You need to add a ; at the end of the #import line.
The problem is that my Sass code is generating duplicate declarations in the compiled CSS file.
My Sass code is organized in multiple partials, and I #import them into a final screen.scss file
I have a _placeholders.scss which contains %alignright and %alignleft.
I have a _content.scss file which uses these, so I #import "_placeholder.scss" at the top of that file and I do the same in _footer.scss. So I guess #import "_placeholders.scss" in 2 places is causing the duplication?
If I just #import "_placeholders.scss" at the beginning of screen.scss to make them globally accessible, then it messes with the order of the CSS declarations.
The first CSS selector to use a placeholder selector will be inserted at the order where I #import "_placeholders.scss", instead of where I #import "_conntent.scss".
For example, in screen.scss:
#import "placeholders";
#import "reset";
#import "typography"
#import "content" // uses placeholder %alignleft
#import "footer" // uses placeholder alignleft
Generated CSS:
/* Content styles that use placeholders */
/* reset styles */
/* typography styles */
/* expected order of content styles */
/* footer styles */
How do I avoid duplication and get the styles to be output in the correct place in the compiled CSS?
This is a place where you'd need to #include a #mixin rather than #extending a placeholder.
// in _placeholders.scss
#mixin alignleft {
text-align: left;
}
// in _content.scss
div.whatever {
#include alignleft;
}
// in _footer.scss
div.whatever-footer {
#include alignleft;
}
