ScssPHP compiler for Silverstripe

A wrapper for scssphp to integrate SCSS compiling directly into Silverstripe.

SCSS files are only compiled when needed, or when a ?flush is done.

Features

• Integrates scssphp seamlessly into Silverstripe
• Includes flushing option (?flushstyles) to regenerate CSS stylesheets (ie. force undetected SCSS changes with @import). Note: this only applies to sites in dev mode. Alternatively use ?flush to flush everything including stylesheets.
• Writes processed *.scss files into assets/_css/ and automatically modifies Requirements paths
• Allows custom global variables to be passed through to SCSS compiling (yaml configuration)
• Basic support for $ThemeDir (eg: url('#{$ThemeDir}/images/logo.png') (see Configuration)
• Automatic compression of CSS files when in live mode (may require an initial ?flush)
• Adds any processed editor.scss files to TinyMCE (must be included in your front-end template)
• Source maps (either inline or file) in dev mode only, can be disabled

Requirements

• Silverstripe ^4

Installation

composer require axllent/silverstripe-scss

Usage

You need refer to your SCSS files by their full SCSS file names (eg:stylesheet.scss).

Example

<?php
use SilverStripe\CMS\Controllers\ContentController;
use SilverStripe\View\Requirements;

class PageController extends ContentController
{
    public function init()
    {
        parent::init();
        Requirements::css('themes/site/css/stylesheet.scss');
        // OR search for the scss in your $themeDirs
        Requirements::themedCSS('css/stylesheet.scss');
    }
}

The generated HTML will point automatically to the processed CSS file in assets/_css/
rather than the original SCSS file location, for example

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"  href="/assets/_css/themes-site-css-stylesheet.css?m=123456789" />
