SassPaths

This gem provides helper methods for appending directories and gems to the SASS_PATH environment variable. This enables you to load projects that do not themselves register with SASS.

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'sass_paths'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install sass_paths

To append a directory, simply call append with your list of directories that you'd like appended.

SassPaths.append('/my/first/sass/path', '/my/second/sass/path', ...)

In order to append a gem, call append_gem_path with the name of the gem as well as the directory within the gem that contains the Sass files.

SassPaths.append_gem_path(gem_name, directory)

Sometimes it can be fun to change the Sass paths for the duration of a block. For example, this would swap out using Neat versions.

replacements = {
  "/gems/neat-1.8.0/app/assets/stylesheets" => "/gems/neat-2.0.0/core"
}
SassPaths.with_replacements(replacements) do
  options = { load_paths: Sass.load_paths }
  Sass::Engine.new(template, options).render
end

The with_replacements takes no responsiblity for knowing about the paths passed in as being valid or not.

Create an initializer and utilize the above methods.

Use the above methods in some part of your application's boot process.

• Run bundle install to install development dependencies.
• Run rake test to run all tests.
